PART I

Item 1.

Business

General

Devcon International Corp. (“Devcon” or “the Company”) was incorporated in Florida in 1951 as Zinke-Smith, Inc. and adopted its present name in October 1971. Our stock has been publicly traded on the Nasdaq Global Market System since March 1972. Today, Devcon is a holding company that provides electronic security services.

Until 2004, our primary operations were in the construction and materials industry. Between 2002 and 2004, however, our management engaged in a review of strategic alternatives to enter into new lines of business that had a prospect of providing predictable, recurring revenue. In April 2005, we began a process of reviewing in detail the operations of our materials and construction operations, which were incurring operating losses. This strategic review and shift in operational focus resulted in a series of acquisitions and divestitures which together allowed us to pursue our objective of becoming a large regional provider of electronic security services. The acquisitions and divestitures were as follows:

Acquisitions:

•

On July 30, 2004, we acquired the issued and outstanding capital stock of Security Equipment Company, Inc., or SEC.

•

On February 28, 2005, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Starpoint Limited from Adelphia Communications.

•

On November 10, 2005, we acquired the issued and outstanding capital stock of Coastal Security Company.

•

On March 6, 2006, we acquired the issued and outstanding capital stock of Guardian International, Inc.

Dispositions:

•

On September 30, 2005, we sold our U.S. Virgin Islands ready-mix concrete, aggregates, concrete block and cement materials and supplies business.

•

On March 2, 2006, we sold all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Antigua Masonry Products, Ltd., or AMP.

•

On May 2, 2006, we sold the fixed assets and substantially the entire inventory of our joint venture assets of Puerto Rico Crushing Company, or PRCC.

•

On June 27, 2006, we sold our Boca Raton-based third-party monitoring operations.

•

On March 21, 2007, we sold the majority of our construction assets, construction inventory and customer lists of our construction operation.

•

On January 10, 2008, we sold all of the issued and outstanding stock of Societe Des Carrieres de Grand Case, or SCGC.

Our remaining materials subsidiary is St. Maarten Masonry Products NV (“STMMP”), a ready-mix operation located in Sint Maarten, Netherland Antilles. This business is classified as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. On March 30, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors passed a resolution which authorized management to sell the remaining assets of the construction, materials and utilities operations upon such terms and conditions, including price, as management determines to be appropriate. The Board resolution provided the Company’s management with the authority and commitment to establish a plan to sell these assets which are immediately available for sale. Therefore, in accordance with FASB No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“FASB No. 144”)”, the Company has classified the assets for these discontinued operations as held for sale and the related operations have been treated as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Electronic Security Services

We are a leading regional provider of electronic security alarm monitoring services, including monitoring of burglary, fire, medical, environmental, video, and security access systems to residential (both single and multi-family homes), financial institutions, industrial and commercial businesses and complexes, warehouses, facilities of government departments and healthcare and educational facilities. We also have wholesale customers, where we monitor security systems on behalf of independent security companies. We believe the electronic security systems monitoring industry presents an attractive opportunity for predictable recurring revenues.

Our electronic security services operates primarily in the state of Florida and in the New York City metropolitan area. We provide monitoring services to retail, commercial and wholesale customers (where we monitor a third-party security company’s customers). Many commercial customers have multiple accounts with us. We provide monitoring services to our customers from two monitoring facilities:


Location	Approximate number of sites monitored	Primary Customer Types
Hollywood, FL	141,843	Residential, Commercial and Wholesale
New York, NY	7,862	Commercial & Residential

The electronic security services industry is highly competitive and fragmented and consists of local, regional and national providers. Our business strategy is based on building a leading regional presence. Specifically, we believe that the most effective way to build brand recognition, maximize market share, and boost operating efficiencies is to become a market leader in targeted regions that have favorable long-term demographic trends. We believe that developing a familiar, community-oriented brand is more effective than developing a national brand and will allow us to reach a top market share position in the areas in which we choose to operate.

We seek to develop a leading regional presence in growth markets in regions that have favorable demographic and population growth trends, as well as customer density opportunities that can be leveraged. Our first target region is in the Southeast, with a primary focus on the state of Florida. With our acquisitions of SEC, Starpoint, Coastal and Guardian, we have achieved significant customer density in the state of Florida.

Our revenue from electronic security services in 2007 was primarily generated from recurring monitoring and services revenue. The other sources of revenue include non-recurring service revenue and installation revenue.

As part of our commitment to provide high quality service to our customers, our electronic security services operation maintains a trained installation and service force. These employees are trained to install and service the various types of commercial and residential security systems marketed by us.

Security alarm systems include many different types of devices installed at a customer’s premises, which are designed to detect or react to various occurrences or conditions, such as intrusion, movement, fire, smoke, flooding, environmental conditions (including temperature or humidity variations), industrial operations (such as water, gas or steam pressure and process flow controls) and other hazards. In most systems, these detection devices, which may be hard-wired or wireless, are connected to a microprocessor-based control panel which communicates through telephone lines or wireless devices to a monitoring center where alarm and supervisory signals are received and recorded. Systems may also incorporate an emergency “panic button” which, when pushed, causes the control panel to transmit an alarm signal that takes priority over other alarm signals. In most systems, control panels can identify the nature of the alarm and the areas within a building where the sensor was activated and transmit the information to one of our central monitoring stations. Commercial applications may also include access control systems and closed circuit television, tailored to the customers’ specific needs.

We do not manufacture any of the components used in our electronic security services business. Due to the general availability of the components used in our electronic security services business, we are able to obtain the components of our systems from a number of different sources and to supply our customers with the latest technology generally available in the industry. We are not dependent on any single source for our supplies and components and have not experienced any material shortages of components.

Our new retail customers are generated through our internal sales force. We have eleven sales and customer service locations which handle installations and service. In addition, we have two specialized sales units:

1) New Construction – We have two offices in Florida with dedicated representatives who market our services primarily to home builders. We market and install residential security systems, as well as a variety of other options, such as structured wiring for telephone, intercom systems and computer systems, into homes during their construction.

2) Community Associations – This specialized subset of the residential group also markets our services to Home Owners Associations and gated communities, delivering high-quality customer care and service required by these premier communities that are prevalent in the Florida market. This group provides a full-range of services to meet the needs of planned communities and community-owned facilities, including U.L. monitoring, maintenance of existing systems, video, all levels of access control, and burglary and fire systems. Agreements range from three to twenty years in length and can represent service for hundreds to thousands of residences in each community.

Our relationship with our customers begins with an initial consultation to determine the potential customers’ needs and is followed by an equipment and service proposal. Our customers then sign contracts with us that allow us to provide ongoing electronic security system monitoring and maintenance services after the installation of an electronic security system. Most of the monitoring and service we provide is covered by multi-year contracts with contractual revenue. The length of our contracts ranges from three to twenty years, depending on the type of customer and how the contract was acquired and in certain markets provides for automatic renewals for a fixed period (typically one year) unless we or the customer elect to cancel the contract at the end of its term. Customers may also purchase an extended service protection plan, which covers the costs of normal repairs of the security system and which is billed along with the monitoring charges. Based upon the average lengths of customer relationships represented by accounts acquired by us during the last three years, we believe the average length of our customer relationships is approximately ten years.

Our two monitoring facilities operate 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. Each monitoring facility incorporates the use of communications and computer systems that route incoming alarm signals and telephone calls to operators. Each operator within a monitoring facility monitors a computer screen that displays information concerning the nature of the alarm signal, the customer whose alarm has been activated and the premises at which the alarm is located. Other non-emergency signals are generated by low battery status, arming and disarming of the alarm monitoring system by authorized users and test signals. These signals are processed automatically by the computer. Depending upon the type of service for which the customer has contracted, monitoring facility personnel respond to alarms by relaying information to local fire or police departments or other emergency providers, notifying the customer or taking other appropriate action.

Both of our central monitoring facilities hold Underwriter’s Laboratories, Inc., or UL, listings. UL specifications for monitoring centers cover building integrity, back up computer and power systems, staffing and standard operating procedures. In many jurisdictions, applicable law requires that security alarms for certain buildings be monitored by UL- listed facilities. In addition, a UL listing is required by certain commercial customers’ insurance companies as a condition to insurance coverage. In addition, our Hollywood, Florida location holds the Factory Mutual, or FM rating, the industry standard for fire alarm monitoring.

In addition to our retail monitoring (i.e., residential, including community associations, and commercial) our wholesale business serves independent security alarm companies. Typically, we act as the sole provider of monitoring services to independent security alarm companies.

Branch customer service personnel, during business hours, answer non-emergency telephone calls regarding service, billing, payment and alarm activation issues. Outside normal business hours, customers are directed to one of our monitoring centers that operate 24 hours per day, allowing a customer to always speak with one of our representatives. In addition, overflow calls at the branches are automatically re-routed to a monitoring center in order to provide immediate assistance to customers.

Customer attrition has a direct impact on our results of operations, since it affects our revenue, amortization expense, borrowing capacity and cash flow. We define customer attrition as a ratio which measures the value of lost customer Recurring Monthly Revenue, or RMR as the numerator divided by the total value of RMR, averaged over time to represent an annualized attrition rate. Attrition occurs in our business due to many reasons, including, but not limited to, the following:

customers moving their business or home thereby discontinuing their need for our services;

ii)

competitors successfully convincing our customers to change their security service provider due to any number of reasons, including price, service levels or group contract changes, such as Community Association contracts; or

iii)

economic reasons of the customer to reduce the customer’s expenses by discontinuing security services altogether.

Tax Exemptions and Benefits

Some of our offshore earnings are not taxed or are taxed at rates lower than U.S. statutory Federal income tax rates due to tax exemptions and tax incentives.

The U.S. Virgin Islands Economic Development Commission granted us tax exemptions on most of our U.S. Virgin Islands earnings through March 2003. We have applied for an extension of this tax exemption; however, there is no guarantee that it will be granted. The EDC completed a compliance review on our subsidiary in the U.S. Virgin Islands on February 6, 2004. The compliance review covered the period from April 1998 through March 31, 2003 and resulted from our application to request an extension of tax exemptions from the EDC. The EDC’s compliance report cited our failure to make gross receipts tax payments of $505,000 and income tax payments of $2.2 million, excluding interest and penalties. This was the first time that a position contrary to ours or any

position on this specific issue had been raised by the EDC. In light of these events, and based on discussions with legal counsel, we established a tax accrual at December 31, 2003 for such exposure which approximated the amounts set forth in the EDC review report. In September 2005 and 2004, the statute of limitations with respect to the income tax return filed by us for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, expired. Accordingly, in the third quarter of 2005 and 2004, we reversed $37,440 and $2.3 million, respectively, of the tax accrual established at December 31, 2003. We have not had recent communication with the EDC regarding this matter and if challenged by the U.S. Virgin Islands taxing authority would vigorously contest its position. These tax accrual matters have been included in the results of discontinued operations.

For periods after December 31, 2003, we have accrued, but on the advice of Virgin Islands counsel, not remitted, gross receipts taxes, which would be due should our application for an extension of benefit be withdrawn or denied. Following the sale of the U.S. Virgin Islands ready-mix concrete, aggregates, concrete block and concrete materials business in September 2005, we did not generate any additional revenue which is covered under the applications for extension of benefits. Accordingly, the accrual for this gross receipts tax exposure at December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $1.5 million at each year end and will remain unchanged in the future pending resolution of the application for extensions. In addition, at December 31, 2007 and 2006, we had accrued $0.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in accrued interest relating to this obligation.

U.S. tax laws provide that certain of our offshore earnings are not taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and most post-April 1988 earnings from our materials business in the U.S. Virgin Islands can be distributed to us free of U.S. income tax. Any distribution to Devcon International Corp, the parent company, of: (1) earnings from our U.S. Virgin Islands operations accumulated prior to April 1, 1988; or (2) earnings from our other non-U.S. incorporated operations, would subject us to U.S. federal income tax on the amounts distributed, less applicable taxes paid in those jurisdictions according to specific rules concerning foreign tax credits.

Intellectual Property

We possess trade names used in our Caribbean operations, of which none are registered. We believe that trade names, which are normally derivatives of the corporate names of our local subsidiaries, have name recognition and are valuable to us.

Devcon International Corp. owns a State of Florida service mark registration and a federal service mark registration for the DEVCON service mark, and Devcon Security Holdings, Inc. owns a State of Florida service mark registration and a federal service mark registration for the DEVCON SECURITY SERVICES service mark. Each of the registrations covers the use of the applicable mark in connection with installation and maintenance of burglar and security alarm systems and monitoring of burglar and security alarm systems. The DEVCON SECURITY SERVICES and DEVCON federal service mark registrations were both granted in 2006. The Florida registrations were granted in 2005.

Devcon Security Services, Inc., or DSS, owns U.S. federal trademark registrations for the mark CENTRAL ONE ^® , as used with installation, maintenance and monitoring of residential, commercial and industrial burglar and security alarm systems. Additionally, DSS owns State of Florida trademark registrations for CENTRAL ONE. DSS owns U.S. federal trademark registrations for the marks GIBRALTAR SECURITY ALARM SYSTEMS ^® and PREPARE AND PROTECT ^® , each as used with installation and maintenance of burglar electronic security systems, fire alarms, home and commercial security systems, voice intercom systems and closed circuit television and card access systems, as well as a U.S. federal trademark registration for its SECURITY BY GUARDIAN INTERNATIONAL and G logo ^® as used with installation, monitoring and maintenance of voice intercom systems and closed circuit television and card access systems. Additionally, DSS owns State of Florida trademark registrations for its GUARDIAN INTERNATIONAL as well as its G logo, each for use with installation, monitoring and maintenance of burglar electronic security systems, fire alarms, home and commercial security systems, and installation and maintenance of voice intercom systems, as well as a State of Florida trademark registration for PRECISION SECURITY SYSTEMS as used with commercial and residential electronic security system sales, service and monitoring. Currently, there are no pending or threatened litigation or claims relating to our trademarks. Also, to the best of our knowledge, there are no unasserted possible claims or assessments that may call for financial disclosure. We cannot assure you that third parties will not attempt to assert superior trademark rights in similar marks or that we will be able to successfully enforce and protect our rights in the trademarks against third party infringers.

Business Address

Our executive offices are located at 595 South Federal Highway, Suite 500, Boca Raton, Florida 33432, our telephone number is (561) 208-7200 and our web address is www.devc.com . In addition, we use www.devcon-security.com as a separate web address in connection with our electronic security services. In this document, the terms “Company”, “we”, “our”, “us” and “Devcon” refer to Devcon International Corp. and its subsidiaries.

Employees

At December 31, 2007, we employed 591 persons. As of that date, we employed 530 persons in our electronic security services business, 30 of whom are members of a union; we employed one person in our construction business who is not a member of a union; we employed 51 persons in our materials business, none of whom are members of a union; and we employed nine persons in corporate administration, none of whom are members of a union. Most employees are employed on a full-time basis. We believe employee relations are satisfactory.

Environmental Matters

We are involved, on a continuing basis, in monitoring our compliance with environmental laws and in making capital and operating improvements necessary to comply with existing and anticipated environmental requirements. While it is impossible to predict with certainty, we currently do not foresee such expenses in the near future as having a material effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. See Item 3, Legal Proceedings, and Note 18-Commitments and Contingencies.

Subsequent Events

Capital Source Amendment. On March 14, 2008, the Company amended the credit terms and conditions of its Credit Agreement (“Waiver and Sixth Amendment”) which included an adjustment in the Maximum Attrition Ratio under the Credit Agreement as follows (i) for the period beginning on March 14, 2008 and ending on July 31, 2008 to 13.00%; (ii) for the period beginning August 1, 2008 and ending December 31, 2008 to 12.75%; and (iii) for the period beginning January 1, 2009 and thereafter to 12.50%. Also, under the terms of the Amendment the Applicable Base Rate Margin was revised to be 5.00% and the Applicable LIBOR Margin was revised to be 6.50%. Additionally, under the terms of the Amendment, for purposes of calculating interest, the Base Rate will not be less than 6.00% and the LIBOR Rate will not be less than 3.00% so that, as of March 14, 2008, the Company’s new effective interest rate under the Credit Agreement is LIBOR plus 6.50% and its new minimum interest rate is 9.50%. The Waiver and Sixth Amendment also provided for a waiver of noncompliance matters to the extent that the noncompliance matters constituted a default or an event of default under the Credit Agreement or the other loan documents as of December 31, 2007.

Resignation of Chief Financial Officer. On January 16, 2008, Robert W. Schiller resigned from his position as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. On January 23, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Mark M. McIntosh, the Company’s Vice President of Finance and Strategic Business Development, to the position of Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

Sale of SCGC. On January 10, 2008, the Company sold all the issued and outstanding stock of SCGC, our quarry and ready-mix operation located in St. Martin, French West Indies, to Petit. Based on the net book value of those assets, we recorded an impairment charge in discontinued operations of $0.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. In addition, the Company was in litigation with the Buyer and upon the sale of SCGC the lawsuit was dismissed and a $1.0 million deposit paid to the Buyer on an option to purchase certain property was released to the Company from the escrow account at the time the agreement was consummated. See Note 22 – Subsequent Events.

Lydia Security Monitoring. On March 11, 2008, Lydia Security and Devcon/Coastal reached a settlement agreement in principal wherein in exchange for assets and cash, the parties would settle their lawsuit. At December 31, 2007, the Company included a provision for the amount of the settlement in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. See Item 3. Legal Proceedings-Lydia Security Monitoring and see Note 22-Subsequent Events.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

You should read and consider carefully each of the following factors, as well as the other information contained in, attached to or incorporated by reference in this report. If any of the following risks materialize, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected and the value of our stock could decline. The risks and uncertainties described below are those that we currently believe may materially affect us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business operations.

General Risk Factors Relating to our Business

Our officers and directors have the ability to significantly influence the outcome of any matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders.

Certain of our officers and directors through their affiliation with Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Inc. have the power to vote, in their sole discretion, all of the securities owned by the former limited partners of Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Ltd. Determining the current holdings of the former limited partners is a time-consuming task and is performed annually to coincide with the record date for the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting.

As of March 7, 2008, the directors and executive officers, as a group, beneficially owned 61.61% of our common stock, assuming beneficial ownership is defined as including common stock ownership after exercising all warrants or options exercisable within 60 days of this date and net of treasury shares. Therefore, they have the ability to significantly influence the outcome of any matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders. Risks that may result from this ability are largely focused on the following variables:

•

the potential for making decisions which are based on a return on investment timetable which is based on the individual preferences and interests of the directors and executive officers which may be different and in conflict with the more immediate horizon which may be expected in public equity markets at any point in time.

•

the potential for investing in operating strategies which reflect a higher or lower relationship of risk and returns on investment than other common equity investors of the Company.

Our future success is dependent, in part, on key personnel and failure to retain these key personnel would adversely affect our operation.

We are highly dependent on the skills, experience and services of key personnel. As a result, we have entered into employment agreements with certain members of senior management. The loss of such key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition. We do not maintain key man life insurance with respect to these key individuals. Employment and retention of qualified personnel is important due to the competitive nature of our industry. Our inability to hire new personnel with the requisite skills could impair our ability to manage and operate our business effectively. On January 16, 2008, Robert W. Schiller resigned from his position as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. On January 23, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Mark M. McIntosh, the Company’s Vice President of Finance and Strategic Business Development, to the position of Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

We are subject to significant debt, debt service, dividend service and redemption obligations which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

Our electronic security services operation has a $105.0 million CapitalSource Revolving Credit Facility and, as of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had $94.4 million and $89.1 million, respectively, of borrowings outstanding. In addition, we have an aggregate of 38,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) with an aggregate liquidation preference of $41.9 million at December 31, 2007, which includes $3.9 million of capitalized dividends. These shares of Preferred Stock are subject to regular dividend payment and redemption obligations. We have the option of paying the dividends in-kind thereby not depleting our cash resources for these dividend payments. As a result of the foregoing transactions, we are incurring significant interest expense and accruing significant dividend liabilities. The degree to which we are leveraged could have significant consequences, including the following:

•

our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for capital expenditures, potential acquisitions, and other purposes may be limited or financing may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all;

•

a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations must be used to pay our interest expense and repay our senior debt, dividend and redemption obligations under the terms of the Preferred Stock, which reduces the funds that would otherwise be available to us for our operations and future business opportunities; and

•

fluctuations in market interest rates will affect the cost of our borrowings to the extent not covered by interest rate hedge agreements because our credit facility bears interest at variable rates.

The CapitalSource Revolving Credit Facility contains financial covenants that require our subsidiaries which comprise our electronic security services to meet a number of financial ratios and tests, and imposes restrictions on our electronic security services operations ability to, among other things:

•

incur more debt including any sale-leaseback or synthetic lease transaction;

•

pay dividends, redeem or repurchase stock or make other distributions or impair the ability of any subsidiary to make such payments to the borrower;

•

make acquisitions or investments;

•

use assets as security in other transactions, or otherwise create liens on our assets

•

enter into transactions with affiliates (including extending loans to employees);

•

impair the terms of any material contract; and

•

guarantee obligations of another.

Failure to comply with the obligations in the CapitalSource Revolving Credit Facility could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could permit acceleration of this indebtedness or of other indebtedness, allowing our senior lenders to foreclose on our electronic security services assets. At December 31, 2007, we were not in compliance with the required attrition ratio and have obtained an amendment and waiver from CapitalSource which cured this default. See Note 8-Debt and Note 22- Subsequent Events.

In addition, the Preferred Stock contains a financial covenant imposing a restriction on our ability to incur additional indebtedness. As a result, so long as any shares of Preferred Stock remain outstanding, we will not be able to allow our indebtedness ratio to exceed a specified maximum leverage amount. Our failure to comply with this indebtedness ratio covenant, which is effective on June 30, 2008, could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could permit holders of the Preferred Stock to require us to redeem all, or a portion of, the outstanding principal amount of the Preferred Stock and pay all accrued but unpaid dividends.

As of December 31, 2007, our current debt service obligation and Preferred Stock dividend expenses are summarized in the chart below:


	Principal Value		Approximate 2008 Annual Interest Expense or Dividend ¹
	(dollars in thousands)
Debt Service:
Revolving Credit Facility (LIBOR plus 6.5%)	$	94,420	$	8,980
Other		68		3
Preferred Stock (10% Dividends)		41,920		4,352

¹	- Effective March 14, 2008, the Company’s new effective interest rate under the Credit Agreement is LIBOR plus 6.50% and its new minimum interest rate is 9.50%.

If we do not successfully implement our business strategy, we may not be able to repay or refinance our senior debt or comply with the terms of the Preferred Stock.

We may not be able to successfully implement our business strategy or realize our anticipated financial results. Accordingly, our cash flows and capital resources may not be sufficient to pay the interest charges and principal payments on our senior debt or comply with redemption provisions of the Preferred Stock. Failure to pay our interest expense, make our principal payments, or effect a redemption would result in a default. If this occurs, our substantial indebtedness and the redemption amount for the Preferred Stock could have important consequences to us and may, among other things:

•

limit our ability to obtain additional financing to fund growth, working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and dividend service requirements or other purposes;

•

limit our ability to use operating cash flow in other areas of our business because we must dedicate a substantial portion of these funds to make principal payments and fund debt and dividend service and redemption requirements;

•

cause us to be unable to satisfy our obligations under our debt agreements or the terms of the Preferred Stock;

•

make us more vulnerable to adverse general economic and industry conditions;

•

limit our ability to compete with others who are not as highly leveraged as we are;

•

limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business, industry and market conditions;

•

cause us to sell assets; and

•

cause us to obtain additional equity capital or refinance or restructure all or a portion of our outstanding senior debt.

In the event that we are unable to refinance our senior debt or Preferred Stock, we may be left without sufficient liquidity and may not be able to repay our senior debt or comply with the terms of the Preferred Stock. In that case, the senior lenders would be able to foreclose on our assets. Even if new financing is available, it may not be on terms that are acceptable to us.

Similarly, if we are not able to successfully implement our business strategy or realize our anticipated financial results, we may not be able to comply with the terms of the Preferred Stock requiring us to redeem, for cash, all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, in equal installments, on the fourth, fifth and sixth anniversary of completion of the private placement. If we fail to effect any required redemption of the Preferred Stock, the applicable redemption amount per unredeemed share of Preferred Stock will bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month until paid in full and the investors will have the option to require us to convert any of those unredeemed shares into shares of our common stock substituting market prices for the conversion price, which market prices may be lower than the conversion price resulting in a larger number of shares of our common stock being issued, resulting in greater dilution to our existing shareholders.

Our stock is thinly traded.

While our stock trades on Nasdaq, our stock is thinly traded and you may have difficulty in reselling your shares quickly. The low trading volume of our common stock is outside of our control and we cannot guarantee that the trading volume will increase in the near future or that, even if it does increase in the future, it will be maintained. Without a large float, our common stock is less liquid than the stock of companies with broader public ownership and, as a result, the trading prices of our common stock may be more volatile. In addition, in the absence of an active public trading market, an investor may be unable to liquidate his investment in us. Trading of a relatively small volume of our common stock may have a greater impact on the trading price of our stock than would be the case if our public float was larger. We cannot predict the prices at which our common stock will trade in the future.

We do not currently pay any dividends on our common stock.

We have not paid any dividends on our common stock in the last fifteen years. We anticipate that for the foreseeable future we will continue to retain any earnings for use in the operation of our business, except as we may elect to pay dividends on the Preferred Stock. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors, after consideration of any restrictions on cash dividends as defined by our credit and preferred stock agreements, and will depend on our earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.

The common stock warrants and shares of Preferred Stock are deemed under generally accepted accounting principles to contain embedded derivative financial instruments, the periodic valuation of which may result in us recognizing charges due to changes in the market value of these derivative financial instruments.

In accordance with FASB 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” the common stock warrants and embedded derivatives in the Preferred Stock are classified as derivative liabilities and, therefore, their fair values are recorded as derivative liabilities on our balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of the warrants and derivatives will result in adjustments to the amount of the recorded derivative liabilities and the corresponding gain or loss will be recorded in our statement of operations. We are required to assess these fair values of derivative liabilities each quarter and as the value of the warrants and derivatives is quite sensitive to changes in the market price of our stock, among other things, fluctuations in such value could be substantial and could cause our results to not meet the expectations of securities analysts and investors. These fluctuations will continue to impact our results of operations as described above for as long as the warrants and Preferred Stock are outstanding. For the year ended December 31, 2007, we recognized income of $3.0 million related to the change in the fair value of these derivatives. See Note 10, Derivative Instruments.

We have incurred and will continue to incur increased costs as a result of securities laws and regulations relating to corporate governance matters and public disclosures.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules implementing that Act have required changes in some of our corporate governance practices and may require further changes. These rules and regulations have increased our legal and financial compliance costs and have made some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly. These rules and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified independent members of our board of directors and qualified members of our management team.

We are taking steps to comply with the laws and regulations in accordance with the deadlines by which compliance is required, however, we are not able to estimate the additional costs that we may incur to respond by these deadlines.

Risk Factors Relating to our Electronic Security Services Operation

Our inability to acquire businesses in the electronic security services industry within our current market area could have adverse consequences on our results of operations.

Due to the continuing consolidation of the electronic security systems industry and the acquisition by us and other electronic security systems companies of a number of large portfolios of subscriber accounts, there may in the future be fewer large portfolios of subscriber accounts available for acquisition. We face competition for the acquisition of portfolios of subscriber accounts, and we may be required to offer higher prices for subscriber accounts we acquire in the future than we have offered in the past. The inability to achieve scale in certain markets may impact the profit potential of our business in those markets.

Integrating our acquired businesses may be disruptive to or cause an interruption of our business which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

The process of integrating our acquired businesses may be disruptive to our business and may cause an interruption or a loss of momentum in our business as a result of the following factors, among others:

•

loss of key employees or customers;

•

higher than expected account attrition;

•

failure to maintain the quality of services that the companies have historically provided; and

•

the need to coordinate geographically diverse organizations.

These disruptions and difficulties, if they occur, may cause us to fail to realize the cost savings, revenue enhancements and other benefits from that integration and may cause material adverse short and long-term effects on our operating results and financial condition.

We have encountered and may continue to encounter difficulties implementing our business plan.

These challenges and difficulties relate to our ability to do the following:

Attract new customers and retain existing customers. Within the electronic security services operation, customers, particularly residential customers, move from the locations at which our security systems were installed. This creates expected and ongoing attrition. There are no guarantees that persons or businesses moving into these locations will use our company, or any company, for security services. In the event of a slow down in the real estate or new home construction in our key market in Florida, we could experience periods in which we are not able to replace the natural attrition of residential customers.

Generate sufficient cash flow from operations or through additional debt or equity financings to support our operations. Our security operations face significant competition and pricing pressure from other national and regional service providers in our industry. If we are unable to compete successfully with these companies, our sales and profitability could be adversely affected. Our rates of customer attrition may affect our ability to remain in compliance with certain covenants in our debt agreements and the capital needed to replace the customers lost through attrition is reliant on availability of operating cash flow after servicing our debt agreements and availability from existing credit facilities.

Install and implement new financial and other operating systems, procedures and controls to support our operations. Our operating plan depends on achieving operating cost efficiencies by servicing more customers through a single more efficient infrastructure.

If we fail to generate sufficient cash flow from operations, it may be necessary to take additional actions, which could divert management’s attention and strain our operational and financial resources. We may not successfully address any or all of these challenges, and our failure to do so would adversely affect our business plan and results of operations, our ability to raise additional capital and our ability to achieve enhanced profitability.

We have a history of losses which are likely to continue.

We incurred net losses from continuing operations of $17.3 million and $23.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, and 2006, respectively.

These losses reflect the following, among other factors:

•

substantial charges incurred by us for amortization of acquired customer accounts;

•

impairment of assets due to actual loss of customer accounts;

•

interest incurred on indebtedness;

•

acquisition integration costs;

•

costs relating to additional financing in 2006 and 2007;

•

a reduction of deferred tax assets in 2006; and

•

other charges required to manage operations.

We will continue to incur a substantial amount of interest expense and amortization of customer accounts and we do not expect to attain profitability in the near future.

Our electronic security services operations are geographically concentrated making us vulnerable to economic and environmental risks inherent to those locations.

Our subscriber base is geographically concentrated in Florida and New York. Accordingly, our performance may be adversely affected by regional or local economic and environmental conditions, including weather conditions, particularly in Florida, which is susceptible to the impact of hurricanes, lightning and tornadoes. Local environmental conditions such as hurricanes making landfall in Florida have caused damage to infrastructure such as electric power and telecommunications, both of which are required to provide service to our security customers. If electric power is not available for an extended period of time, we would be unable to provide our services and would therefore be unable to bill our customers. If the hurricanes destroy or cause severe damage to homes, then we are at risk of losing our customer base.

Our electronic security services operate in a highly competitive environment and we may not be able to compete effectively for customers, causing us to lose all or a portion of our market share.

Our electronic security services business in the United States is highly competitive. New competitors are continually entering the field. Competition is based primarily on price in relation to quality of service. Sources of competition in the electronic security services industry are other providers of central monitoring services, local electronic security systems and other methods of protection, such as manned guarding.

Our electronic security services competes with other major firms which have substantial resources, including ADT Security Services, Inc. (a subsidiary of Tyco International Limited), Brinks Home Security, a division of The Brinks Company, Protection One and HSM Electronic Protection Services, a division of the StanleyWorks, as well as many regional and local companies. Many of these competitors are larger and have significantly greater resources than we do and may possess greater local market knowledge as well. We may not be able to continue to compete effectively for existing or potential customers, causing us to lose all or a portion of our market share.

Increased adoption of “false alarm” ordinances by local governments may adversely affect our business.

An increasing number of local governmental authorities have adopted, or are considering the adoption of, laws, regulations or policies aimed at reducing the perceived costs to municipalities of responding to false alarm signals. Such measures could include:

•

requiring permits for the installation and operation of individual alarm systems and the revocation of such permits following a specified number of false alarms;

•

imposing fines on alarm customers or alarm monitoring companies for false alarms;

•

imposing limitations on the number of times the police will respond to alarms at a particular location after a specified number of false alarms;

•

requiring further verification of an alarm signal before the police will respond

Enactment of these measures could adversely affect our future business and operations. In addition, concern over false alarms in communities adopting these ordinances could cause a decrease in the timeliness of police response to alarm activations and thereby decrease the propensity of consumers to purchase or maintain alarm monitoring services.

Future government regulations or other standards could have an adverse effect on our operations.

Our operations are subject to a variety of laws, regulations and licensing requirements of federal, state and local authorities. In certain jurisdictions, we are required to obtain licenses or permits, to comply with standards governing employee selection and training and to meet certain standards in the conduct of our business. The loss of such licenses, or the imposition of conditions to the granting or retention of such licenses, could have an adverse effect on us. In the event that these laws, regulations and/or licensing requirements change, we may be required to modify our operations or to utilize resources to maintain compliance with such rules and regulations. In addition, new regulations may be enacted that could have an adverse effect on us.

Increased adoption of statutes and governmental policies purporting to void automatic renewal provisions in our customer contracts, or purporting to characterize certain of our charges as unlawful, may adversely affect our business.

Our customer contracts typically contain provisions automatically renewing the term of the contract at the end of the initial term, unless cancellation notice is delivered in accordance with the terms of the contract. If the customer cancels prior to the end of the contract term, other than in accordance with the contract, we may charge the customer the charges that would have been paid over the remaining term of the contract, or charge an early cancellation fee.

Several states have adopted, or are considering the adoption of statutes, consumer protection policies or legal precedents which purport to void the automatic renewal provisions of our customer contracts, or otherwise restrict the charges we can impose upon contract cancellation. Such initiatives could compel us to increase the length of the initial term of our contracts, and increase our charges during the initial term, and consequently lead to less demand for our services and increase our attrition. Adverse judicial determinations regarding these matters could cause us to incur legal exposure to customers against whom such charges have been imposed, and the risk that certain of our customers may seek to recover such charges through litigation. In addition, the costs of defending such litigation and enforcement actions could have an adverse effect on us.

Cyclical industry and economic conditions have affected and may continue to adversely affect the financial condition and results of operations of our electronic security services.

The operating results of our electronic security services may be adversely affected by the general cyclical pattern of the electronic security services industry. Demand for electronic security services is significantly affected by levels of commercial construction and consumer and business discretionary spending. The market for new construction and the real estate market in general are cyclical and, in the event of a decline in the market for new developments, it is likely that demand for our electronic security monitoring services would also decline, which could negatively impact our results of operations.

Our electronic security services business is subject to attrition of subscriber accounts.

Our electronic security services operations experiences attrition of subscriber accounts as a result of, among other factors, relocation of subscribers, adverse financial and economic conditions, and competition from other electronic security system companies. In addition, our electronic security services operation experiences attrition of newly acquired accounts to the extent that we do not integrate these accounts or do not adequately service the accounts or because of dissatisfaction with prior service. Attrition and an increase in attrition rates could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and earnings, and our ability to maintain compliance with various covenants in our credit facilities.

Lower crime rates could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

For the past several years crime rates have been dropping in the United States, particularly in the State of Florida. According to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s 2006 Annual Uniform Crime Report, Florida’s index crime rate has reached a 36-year low dropping by 1.0 percent in 2006 from 2005. Particularly relevant to our business is the decrease in the number of burglaries. While the number of homes and businesses with installed electronic security systems has continued to increase even as crime rates have decreased, this may not continue to be the case. Any significant decrease in the number of homes and businesses installing new electronic security systems could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We rely on technology that may become obsolete, which could require significant capital expenditures.

Our monitoring services depend upon the technology (hardware and software) of security alarm systems. In order to maintain our customer base that currently uses security alarm components that are or could become obsolete, we will likely be required to upgrade or implement new technologies that could require significant capital expenditures. We may not be able to successfully implement new technologies or adapt existing technologies to changing market demands. If we are unable to adapt in response to changing technologies, market conditions or customer requirements in a timely manner, such inability could adversely affect our business.

Shifts in our current and future customers’ selection of telecommunications services could increase customer attrition and could adversely impact our earnings and cash flow.

Certain elements of our operating model rely on our customers’ selection and continued use of traditional, land-line telecommunications services, which we use to communicate with our monitoring operations. In recent years, many customers have shown a preference for subscribing only to cellular technology and have discontinued use of land-line telephone services. In order to continue to service existing customers who cancel their land-line telecommunications services and service new customers who do not subscribe to land-line telecommunications services, customers must upgrade to alternative and typically more expensive wireless or internet based technologies. Continued shifts in customers’ preferences regarding telecommunications services could continue to adversely impact attrition and our earnings and cash flow.

The loss of our Underwriter Laboratories listing could negatively impact our competitive position.

All of our alarm monitoring centers are UL listed. To obtain and maintain a UL listing, an alarm monitoring center must be located in a building meeting UL’s structural requirements, have back-up and uninterruptible power supplies, have secure telephone lines and maintain redundant computer systems. UL conducts periodic reviews of alarm monitoring centers to ensure compliance with their regulations. Non-compliance could result in a suspension of our UL listing. The loss of our UL listing could negatively impact our competitive position

We are exposed to greater risks of liability for employee acts or omissions, or system failure, than may be inherent in other businesses.

The nature of the services we provide potentially exposes us to greater risks of liability for employee acts or omissions or system failures than may be inherent in other businesses. In an attempt to reduce this risk, substantially all of our alarm monitoring agreements and other agreements pursuant to which we sell our products and services contain provisions limiting our liability to customers and third parties. However, in the event of litigation with respect to such matters, these limitations may not be enforced. In addition, the costs of such litigation could have an adverse effect on us.

The Company carries insurance of various types, including general liability and professional liability insurance in amounts management considers adequate and customary for the industry. Some of the Company’s insurance policies, and the laws of some states, may limit or prohibit insurance coverage for punitive or certain other types of damages, or liability arising from gross negligence. If the Company incurs increased losses related to employee acts or omissions, or system failure, or if the Company is unable to obtain adequate insurance coverage at reasonable rates, or if the Company is unable to receive reimbursements from insurance carriers, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Risk Factors Relating to our Materials Operation

We have entered into transactions with our affiliates which result in conflicts of interests.

We have entered into a number of transactions with our affiliates, including but not limited to an investment in the Caribbean involving companies in which certain of our current and former officers and directors have an interest. Material transactions are disclosed in our audited consolidated financial statements and the periodic reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. See “Item 13—Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”. These transactions result in conflicts of interests. Our Audit Committee reviews and approves transactions between us and our affiliates, including our officers and directors. Our policy is that all of these transactions be reviewed and approved by the audit committee prior to completion. In addition, our Articles of Incorporation provide that no contract or other transaction between us and any other corporation shall in any way be invalidated by the fact that any of our directors are interested in or are directors or officers of the other party to the transaction.

We are subject to some risks due to the nature of our foreign operations.

The majority of our discontinued operations in 2007 were conducted in foreign countries located in the Caribbean, primarily Antigua and Barbuda, Sint Maarten, St. Martin and the Bahamas. The risks of doing business in foreign areas include potential adverse changes in U.S. diplomatic relations with foreign countries, changes in the relative purchasing power of the U.S. dollar, hostility from local populations, adverse effects of exchange controls, changes in either import or export tariffs, nationalization, interest rate fluctuations, restrictions on the withdrawal of foreign investment and earnings, government policies against businesses owned by non-nationals, expropriations of property, the instability of foreign governments, any civil unrest or insurrection that could result in uninsured losses and other political, economic and regulatory conditions, risks or difficulties. Adverse changes in currency exchange rates or raw material commodity prices, both in absolute terms and relative to competitors’ risk profiles, could adversely impact our operations. We are not subject to these risks in the U.S. Virgin Islands, since the Virgin Islands is a United States territory. We believe our only significant foreign currency exposure is the Euro. We are also subject to U.S. federal income tax upon the distribution of certain offshore earnings. Although we have not encountered significant difficulties in our foreign operations, we could encounter difficulties in the future.

Our materials business operates in a highly competitive environment and we may not be able to compete effectively for customers, causing us to lose all or a portion of our market share.

We have competitors in the materials business in the locations where we conduct business. The competition includes local ready-mix concrete, and importers of aggregates and concrete blocks. We also encounter competition from the producers of asphalt, which is an alternative material to concrete for road construction.

We are highly dependent on the availability of barging and towing services in the Caribbean.

Our materials business is highly dependent upon the availability of barging services to import sand, aggregate, cement and block. We have experienced in the past, and could experience in the future, a short-term shortage of barging capacity which would have an adverse affect on our operations.

Item 3.

Legal Proceedings

General

In the ordinary course of conducting its business, we may become involved in various legal actions and other claims, some of which are currently pending. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and management may be unable to accurately predict the outcome of individual litigated matters. Some of these matters possibly may be decided unfavorably to us. It is the opinion of management that the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these matters will not be material.

We are involved, on a continuing basis, in monitoring our compliance with environmental laws and in making capital and operating improvements necessary to comply with existing and anticipated environmental requirements. While it is impossible to predict with certainty, management currently does not foresee such expenses in the future as having a material effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

We are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. Management believes that we are in compliance with all such laws and regulations. Compliance with environmental protection laws has not had a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the past and is not expected to have a material adverse impact in the foreseeable future.

Yellow Cedar

In the fall of 2000, VICBP, a subsidiary, was under contract with the Virgin Islands Port Authority, or VIPA, for the construction of the expansion of the St. Croix Airport. During the project, homeowners and residents of the Yellow Cedar Housing Community, located next to the end of the expansion project, claimed to have experienced several days of excessive dust in their area as a result of the ongoing construction work and have claimed damage to their property and personal injury. The homeowners of Yellow Cedar have filed two separate lawsuits for unspecified damages against VIPA and VICBP as co-defendants. In both cases VICBP, as defendant, has agreed to indemnify VIPA for any civil action as a result of the construction work. VICBP brought a declaratory judgment action in the District Court of the Virgin Islands to determine whether there is coverage under the primary policy. On October 23, 2007, the declaratory judgment was ruled in favor of insurers and we have since filed an Appeal of the Denial. If the Appeal of the Denial for the Company’s Summary Judgment is favorable to us, VICBP would be liable for the $50 per claim and the original $50,000 deductible. However, this was satisfied when the initial claims were resolved with claimants. Additionally, the Company will recover its legal expenses for pursuing the Summary Judgment.

VICBP cannot accurately estimate actual damages to the claimants since a significant part of the property damage claims were resolved prior to the litigation and credible evidence of the bodily injury portion of the lawsuit has not been presented. Additionally, because the legal process continues, VICBP is unable to determine how all of the facts of this matter will be resolved under St. Croix environmental law. As a result of all the uncertainties, the outcome cannot be reasonably determined at this time and the Company is unable to estimate the loss, if any, in accordance with FASB No. 5, “ Accounting for Contingencies ” (“FASB No. 5”). However, we do not believe that the outcome will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Le Flamboyant

In the late 1980s, Bouwbedrijf Boven Winden, N.V., or BBW, currently a Devcon subsidiary in the Netherlands Antilles, supplied concrete to a large apartment complex in St. Martin. In the early 1990s the buildings began to develop exterior cracking and “pop outs.” In November 1993, BBW was named one of several defendants, including the building’s insurer, in a suit filed by Syndicat des Copropriétaires la Résidence Le Flamboyant (condominium owners association of Le Flamboyant) in the French court “Tribunal de Grande Instance de Paris”, case No. 510082/93. A French court assigned an expert to examine the cause of the cracking and pop outs and to determine if the cracking/pop outs are caused by a phenomenon known as alkali reaction, or ARS. The expert found, in his report dated December 3, 1998, that BBW was responsible for the ARS. The plaintiff is seeking unspecified damages, including demolition and replacement of the 272 apartments. Based on the advice of legal counsel, a judgment assessed in a French court would not be enforceable against a Netherlands Antilles company. Thus, in order to obtain an enforceable judgment, the plaintiff would have to file a successful claim in an Antillean court. It is too early to predict the final outcome of this matter or to estimate the potential risk of loss, if any, to BBW. Due to the lack of enforceability, BBW decided not to continue the defense in the French court. Therefore, BBW may not be aware of recent developments in the proceedings. BBW’s management believes its defenses to be meritorious and does not believe that the outcome will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of BBW or our company.

Petit

On July 25, 1995, our subsidiary, Societe des Carrieres de Grande Case ( “SCGC”), entered into an agreement with Mr. Fernand Hubert Petit, Mr. Francois Laurent Petit and Mr. Michel Andre Lucien Petit, collectively referred to as, Petit, to lease a quarry located in St. Martin. Another lease was entered into by SCGC on October 27, 1999 for the same and additional property. BBW entered into a materials supply agreement with Petit on July 31, 1995. This materials supply agreement was amended on October 27, 1999 and under the terms of this amendment, we became a party to the materials supply agreement. In February 2005 we purchased the three hectares of land for $1.1 million in cash and executed the 15 hectare lease. In September 2006 we exercised the 2 hectare option and transferred $1 million in cash to the appropriate agent of Petit. Petit refused to accept the $1 million payment unless Devcon International Corp., the parent company, agreed to guarantee payment of the $1.0 million due on December 31, 2008. As Devcon International Corp. was not referenced in or party to the 2 hectare option, it was our position that Petit’s request was without merit. The $1 million was placed on deposit with the appropriate third-party escrow agent pending the outcome of this dispute.

On January 10, 2008, the Company sold all the issued and outstanding stock of SCGC, our quarry and ready-mix operation located in St. Martin, French West Indies, to Petit. Based on the net book value of those assets, we recorded an impairment charge in discontinued operations of $0.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. In addition, the Company entered into a settlement with Petit and upon the sale of SCGC the lawsuit was dismissed. The $1.0 million deposit paid to Petit to execute the 2 hectare option was released to the Company from the third-party escrow agent at the time the sale agreement was consummated. See Note 22 – Subsequent Events.

Lydia Security Monitoring

On June 23, 2006, the Company sold its Boca Raton-based third party monitoring operation (which operated under the name Central One) and the associated Boca Raton monitoring center to Lydia Security Monitoring, Inc. (“Lydia Security”). On July 30, 2007, Lydia Security joined Devcon Security Holdings, Inc., Coastal Security Systems, Inc. and Coastal Security Company (collectively, “Devcon/Coastal”) as third party defendants in a suit Lydia filed against a former Central One wholesale monitoring customer, seeking recovery of minimum monthly payments and other sums under a monitoring agreement sold to Lydia Security by Devcon/Coastal. On March 11, 2008, Lydia Security and Devcon/Coastal reached a settlement agreement in principal wherein in exchange for assets and cash, the parties would settle their lawsuit. At December 31, 2007, the Company included a provision for the amount of the settlement in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. See Note 22 – Subsequent Events.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in Item 8 of this report on Form 10-K. The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations describes the principal factors affecting results of operations, financial resources, liquidity, contractual cash obligations, and critical accounting estimates.

OVERVIEW

In 2004 we embarked on a new strategy, which was to become a leading regional provider of electronic security alarm monitoring services, providing electronic monitoring of alarm systems to residential single and multi-family homes, financial institutions, industrial and commercial businesses and complexes, warehouses, facilities of government departments, healthcare and educational facilities, as well as installation of electronic security alarm systems. We also have wholesale customers where we monitor security systems owned by independent security companies. Through our electronic security services, we engage in the electronic monitoring of our installed base of security systems, as well as the installation of new monitored security systems added to our installed base, both in residential and commercial buildings.

In order to execute our new strategy, we began a process of reviewing in detail the operations of our materials and construction businesses, which were incurring operating losses. This strategic review and shift in operational focus resulted in a series of acquisitions and divestitures which together allowed us to pursue our objective of becoming a leading regional provider of electronic security services. The acquisitions and divestitures were as follows:

Acquisitions:

•

On July 30, 2004, we acquired the issued and outstanding capital stock of SEC.

•

On February 28, 2005, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Starpoint from Adelphia Communications.

•

On November 10, 2005, we acquired the issued and outstanding capital stock of Coastal.

•

On March 6, 2006, we acquired the issued and outstanding capital stock of Guardian.

Dispositions:

•

On September 30, 2005, we sold our U.S. Virgin Islands ready-mix concrete, aggregates, concrete block and cement materials and supplies business.

•

On March 2, 2006, we sold all of the issued and outstanding common shares of AMP

•

On May 2, 2006, we sold the fixed assets and substantially the entire inventory of our joint venture assets of PRCC.

•

On June 27, 2006, we sold our Boca Raton-based third-party monitoring operations.

•

On March 21, 2007, we sold the majority of our construction assets, construction inventory and customer lists of the construction business.

•

On January 10, 2008, we sold all the issued and outstanding stock of Societe Des Carrieres de Grand Case, or SCGC.

In the following management’s discussion and analysis, the net operating results of our significant dispositions noted above, including our remaining materials business are recorded as discontinued operations for all years presented.

Customer account attrition has a direct impact on our results of operations since it affects our revenue, amortization expense and cash flows. We monitor attrition monthly and on a six month annualized basis. We define attrition as a ratio, the numerator of which is gross number of lost customer RMR for a given period. In our calculation we make adjustments to lost RMR for the net change in billing rate, either positive or negative, for accounts greater than 90 days, re-signs and third party gains. Below is a rollforward of our RMR for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2007 with Year Ended December 31, 2006


	(dollars in thousands)
	2007		% of Revenue		2006		% of Revenue
Revenue	$	55,792	100.0	%	$	53,987	100.0	%
Cost of Sales		24,447	43.8	%		24,627	45.6	%

Gross Profit	$	31,345	56.2	%	$	29,360	54.4	%

Revenue from electronic security services is comprised of the monitoring and service of security systems at subscribers’ premises, billable services performed on a time and materials basis, Services Revenue, and net installation revenue after taking into effect the requirements of SAB 104, which requires the deferral of certain revenue and related costs until services have been fulfilled. Included in cost of sales are the direct costs incurred to monitor and service security systems installed at subscriber premises, as well as the net direct costs incurred with the installation of new security systems.

•

During 2007, revenue increased by $1.8 million as compared to 2006. The increase in revenue was due mainly to 2007 revenues including a full twelve months of revenue for the Guardian acquisition compared to ten months of revenues for 2006 as Guardian was acquired on March 6, 2006. This increase was partially offset by six months of revenues included in 2006 from the wholesale business which was sold in 2006 of $1.2 million.

•

Our cost of sales decreased slightly as a percentage of revenue to 43.8% in 2007 as compared to 45.6% for 2006. During 2007, the benefits of consolidating two of our monitoring centers were offset by higher costs as we continued to integrate our acquired businesses.

•

Gross profit increased by $2.0 million in 2007 as compared to 2006 primarily the result of the two additional months of Guardian activity in 2007 and cost reduction from acquired operations offset by higher operating costs due to integration activity.

Operating expenses:


	(dollars in thousands)
	2007		% of Revenue		2006		% of Revenue
Selling	$	4,844	8.7	%	$	4,969	9.2	%
General and Administrative		21,135	37.9	%		22,485	41.6	%
Depreciation and Amortization		17,668	31.7	%		18,103	33.5	%

Total Operating Expenses	$	43,647	78.3	%	$	45,557	84.3	%

•

Selling expense decreased slightly to 8.7% of revenues as compared to 9.2% of revenues in 2006. The decrease as a percentage of revenues was due to the reduction of headcount resulting from consolidation of acquired sales forces, a lower commission structure as all sales employees were migrated to a universal plan, and a branding study that was conducted in 2006 and not repeated in 2007.

•

General and administrative expenses decreased by $1.4 million in 2007 compared to 2006. As a percentage of revenue this represented a 3.7% decrease in 2007 as compared to 2006. This decrease was mainly due to reduced payroll, accounting, and legal fees as we transitioned out of our legacy businesses.

•

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $0.4 million in 2007 as compared to 2006. This was primarily due to a $0.5 million decrease in the 2007 scheduled amortization of acquired customer lists as compared to 2006.

Other Income (Expense):


	(dollars in thousands)
	2007			2006
Interest Expense	$	(10,572	)	$	(21,361	)
Interest Income		137			208
Change in fair value of derivative		3,019			4,603
Other		48			(23	)

Total other (expense) income	$	(7,368	)	$	(16,573	)

•

Interest expense decreased by $10.8 million in 2007 as compared to 2006 primarily related to a decrease of $9.6 million in interest expense related to the amortization of the discount on the $45.0 million notes issued February 2006,, which were converted to Preferred Stock in October 2006.

•

The change in fair value of derivative income decreased by $1.6 million in 2007 as compared to 2006. During the year ended 2006 we recorded $7.3 million of income related to the write-off of the right to purchase derivative liability as the notes were converted to Preferred Stock and therefore the right to purchase derivative was exercised and no longer had value. The $7.3 million benefit was offset by a charge of $2.7 million related to fair value adjustments to the conversion option derivative and the warrants. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded fair value adjustments to the derivative and warrants that resulted in a benefit of $3.0 million. The Company estimates the fair value of its derivatives and warrants using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The fair value of the warrants and the embedded derivative are impacted by changes primarily in the price and volatility of the Company’s common stock. The company’s historic volatility of 30% and 50% was used as an estimate of the volatility expected to occur over the life of the conversion option and warrants, respectively. The volatility factor differed for these instruments as the terms differed. In addition, the Company’s stock price decreased throughout the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 by approximately 30% resulting in a reduction in the fair value of the warrants and embedded derivative. Changes in the fair value of these instruments resulted in adjustments to the amount of the recorded derivative liabilities and the corresponding gain or loss is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. We recognize these derivatives as liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet, measure them at their estimated fair value and recognize changes in their estimated fair value in our consolidated results of operations in the period of change.

Income tax (benefit) from continuing operations:


	(dollars in thousands)
	2007			2006
Income tax (benefit)	$	(2,369	)	$	(9,040	)

During 2007, the Company realized a tax benefit of $2.4 million from continuing operations. The income tax benefit arises from certain deferred tax liabilities expected to reverse during fiscal 2008. The decrease in the tax benefit in 2007 of $6.7 million as compared to 2006 was primarily related to the increase in the valuation allowance in 2007 of $6.5 million due to the loss from continuing operations offset by the carryback of a net operating loss in the Virgin Islands.

Discontinued Operations:


	(dollars in thousands)
	2007			2006
Pre-tax (loss) from discontinued operations	$	(6,810	)	$	(4,220	)
Pre-tax (loss) gain on disposal of discontinued operations		(365	)		297

Income tax (benefit) provision		(777	)		1,749

(Loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax	$	(6,398	)	$	(5,672	)

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, net loss from discontinued operations was $(6.4) million, compared to $(5.7) million in fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The loss from discontinued operations was primarily driven by the winding down and sale of construction operations that was completed in March 2007 and the operating losses in our materials operations on St. Martin. The sale of construction operations resulted in a pre-tax loss on disposal of discontinued operations of $(0.4) million in 2007. In March 2006, we sold all of the issued and outstanding common shares of AMP. The sale resulted in a net gain of $0.3 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Adequacy of Capital Resources

We generally fund our working capital needs from operations and bank borrowings. In the electronic security services business, monitoring services are typically billed in advance on either a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. Installations of new security systems for residential customers typically result in a net investment in the customer, whereas installations of new security systems for commercial projects typically have neutral to positive cash flow.

In March 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors passed a resolution which authorized management to sell the remaining assets of the construction, materials and utilities operations upon such terms and conditions, including price, as management determines to be appropriate. At December 31, 2007, the remaining materials subsidiary is STMMP, a ready-mix operation located in Sint Maarten, Netherland Antilles. This business is classified as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.

As of December 31, 2007, our liquidity and capital resources included cash and cash equivalents of $3.1 million, working capital of $2.2 million and no availability on its line of credit given non-compliance at December 31, 2007. This was subsequently amended with the Sixth Amendment and Waiver (see Note 22-Subsequent Events), thus the Company has $1.2 million available on its line of credit as of March 14, 2008. Total outstanding liabilities were $135.2 million as of December 31, 2007, compared to $137.3 million a year earlier. As of December 31, 2006, our liquidity and capital resources included cash and cash equivalents of $5.0 million, working capital of $7.7 million and availability under the Company’s credit facility of $0.2 million.

Cash flow used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $3.0 million compared with $6.9 million used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2006. The primary use of cash for operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2007 was a decrease in accounts payable, other long-term assets and billings in excess of cost related to the sale and wind down of our construction operation. The primary sources of cash from operating activities was a net reduction of $5.5 million in accounts receivable, a $1.7 million reduction in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and a $0.9 million increase in current deferred revenue which is reflective of the increase in our securities monitoring business and a $4.7 million increase in other long-term liabilities which consists primarily of long term deferred installation revenue recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (“SAB 104”). The primary use of cash for operating activities during the year ended

December 31, 2006 was a $4.0 million decrease in accounts payable. The primary sources of cash from operating activities was a net reduction of $1.6 million in notes receivable, a $2.1 million increase in current deferred revenue which is reflective of the increase in our securities monitoring business and a $5.1 million increase in other long term liabilities which consists primarily of long term deferred installation revenue recognized in accordance with SAB 104.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $4.5 million in 2007, which primarily related to proceeds from our disposition of our construction operation in the net amount of $5.0 million, $1.6 million related to payments received on notes related to the sale of assets, offset by $2.1 million increase in property, plant and equipment which is primarily related to our system conversion. Net cash used by investing activities was $58.5 million in 2006, including $12.2 million generated from the sale of the Antiguan and Puerto Rican operations and our third party monitoring operations. We sold or disposed of land, leasehold improvements, buildings and equipment related to the sale of the Antiguan and Puerto Rican operations and our third party monitoring operations resulting in a gain of approximately $2.9 million. The net proceeds, consisting of cash and notes receivable were $9.7 million. The purchase of Guardian accounted for $66.6 million of cash usage. In addition, we purchased equipment as needed for our ongoing business operations. This resulted in a net cash expenditure of $4.1 million in 2006.

Net cash used in financing in 2007 was $3.2 million, which primarily relates to redemption of $7.4 million of Preferred Stock, $1.0 million related to the repurchase of treasury shares, and the principal payments on debt of $0.6 million, offset by $5.8 million of additional draws on our credit facility. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2006 was $65.8 million, derived primarily from proceeds from borrowing. In 2006, we received $83.5 million from borrowings and made $13.6 million of principal repayments.

Our uses of cash over the next twelve months will be principally for working capital needs, capital expenditures and for debt service which consists primarily of estimated interest payments of $9.0 million on our outstanding senior debt. We estimate the capital expenditures will be $0.4 million related to the final stages of the integration of our back office systems onto a consistent platform and the refurbishment of one of our monitoring centers and $0.3 million for our materials operation in Sint Maarten.

Cash flows from discontinued operations are included in the consolidated statement of cash flows within operating, investing and financing activities. The Company will continue to have cash flows from the remaining materials subsidiary through the second quarter 2008. The absence of cash flows from discontinued operations is not expected to impact future liquidity or capital resources. On the contrary we anticipate that the negative cash flows generated by our discontinued operations will eventually be reduced to zero.

We believe we can fund our planned business activities during the next twelve months with the sources of cash described above. Our plan is to sell the remaining assets related to our discontinued operations to generate cash flows coupled with the ongoing collections of our accounts receivable. We anticipate that the continued integration of the back office processes related to our acquisitions will result in reduced selling, general and administrative expenses. During 2007, we did not acquire any security related businesses. Over the next twelve months we are not planning nor are we obligated to make any significant investments other than normal required capital expenditures.

Debt and Other Obligations

Credit Agreement. In order to finance the acquisition of Guardian, which took place on March 6, 2006, the Company increased the amount of cash available under its credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with CapitalSource Finance LLC (“CapitalSource”) from $70.0 million to $100.0 million and used $35.6 million under this facility together with the net proceeds from the issuance of the notes and warrants to purchase Guardian and repay the $8.0 million CapitalSource Bridge Loan Agreement.

On September 25, 2007, certain subsidiaries (the “Borrowers”) of the Company entered into a Consent and Fifth Amendment (the “Fifth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement with CapitalSource). The Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement increased the total commitment to $105.0 million from $100.0 million (with the Borrowers having the ability to increase this commitment further to $125.0 million), extended the maturity date of the Credit Agreement to September 25, 2010, increased the Maximum Leverage Ratio to 28.0x, amended Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio to be 1.25 to 1.0 after June 30, 2008, and certain financial and other covenants provided therein. The Company incurred debt issuance costs amounting to $0.7 million related to the execution of this Fifth Amendment.

At December 31, 2007, the Company had $10.6 million of unused facility under the Credit Agreement and zero borrowing capacity as the Company was not in compliance with the debt covenant requirements, specifically the attrition rate at December 31, 2007. On March 14, 2008, the Company amended the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement (“Waiver and Sixth Amendment”) which included a waiver of noncompliance matters to the extent that the noncompliance matters constituted a default or an event of default under the Credit Agreement at December 31, 2007. See Note 22 – Subsequent Events.

Securities Purchase Agreement. On March 6, 2006, we issued to certain investors under the terms of an SPA, dated as of February 10, 2006, an aggregate principal amount of $45.0 million of notes along with warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,650,943 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $11.925 per share. The notes required interest at a rate equal to 8% per annum (which rate increased to 18% per annum in the event we failed to make payments required under the notes when due).

On October 20, 2006, under the terms of the SPA, the private placement investors received, in exchange for the notes, an aggregate of 45,000 shares of Preferred Stock, of Devcon with a liquidation preference equal to $1,000, convertible into common stock at a conversion price equal to $9.54 per share for each share of Preferred Stock. Effective July 13, 2007, the conversion price was adjusted to $6.75 per share for each share of Preferred Stock.

The Company filed Amended Certificate of Designations and an amended and restated Registration Stock Rights Agreement with the Secretary of State of Florida on July 13, 2007, effective as of such date (“Closing Date”). The Amended SPA contains terms similar to the original SPA entered into among the parties on February 10, 2006, except that one holder agreed to sell back to the Company warrants to purchase 1,284,067 shares of the Company’s common stock, and the parties thereto acknowledged and agreed that the Company’s dividend payment obligations with respect to the Preferred Stock accruing prior to the Closing Date of the Amended SPA have been satisfied by adding such dividends to the Stated Value of the shares of Preferred Stock. Thus, the Company now has the option of paying the dividends in kind and not to deplete cash resources for these dividend payments. The Company purchased back the warrants at fair value which was determined to be $0.2 million. At December 31, 2007, approximately $3.9 million of dividends accrued were paid-in-kind and reclassified to the carrying value of the Preferred Stock.

We have two key debt covenants that could affect liquidity. We believe that we will remain in compliance with both covenants in 2008:

Debt / Performing RMR (Revolving Credit Facility) – As of January 31, 2008, we had eligible Performing RMR of $3.5 million and outstanding senior debt of $95.8 million (including accrued interest) or a ratio of 27.6x. The financial covenant requires a maximum leverage ratio of 28.0x to 1.0. Given the continued stability of our customer base and the associated Performing RMR we believe that a material decline in either is unlikely during 2008.

Attrition rate (Revolving Credit Facility) – Our six month annualized attrition ratio as of January, 2008 was 11.4% compared to a maximum permitted ratio of 11%. On March 14, 2008, this ratio was amended to 13%. Our ratio is being negatively impacted by relatively higher attrition that occurred during September and October of 2007. This higher attrition was caused by an increase in cancellations due to a continued downturn in the real estate market in Florida. Our attrition rate trend over the last six months is as follows:


	Actual Period Attrition
	Number of Accounts	Cancelled RMR		Net RMR Attrition*		Monthly Ratio %		Annualized Monthly Ratio %
August	470	$	24,101	$	22,399	7.6	%	9.4	%
September	612	$	26,100	$	35,402	12.1	%	10.1	%
October	676	$	39,052	$	44,006	15.0	%	11.0	%
November	1,004	$	45,495	$	29,693	10.2	%	10.6	%
December	875	$	35,774	$	36,379	12.5	%	12.5	%
January	924	$	40,709	$	31,557	10.8	%	11.4	%

*	Net of change in RMR over 90 days and net of re-signs.

Our minimum fixed charge coverage ratio at January 2008 was 1.25 compared to the minimum permitted ratio of 1.15.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Other Contractual Obligations

We have not guaranteed any other person’s or company’s debt, except as more fully described in Note 18 “Commitments and Contingencies” to our consolidated financial statements. Our short-term borrowings, long- term debt, Preferred Stock, lease commitments and other long-term obligations are more fully described in Notes 8, 9 and 18 respectively. We have not entered into any currency or interest options, swaps or future contracts, nor do we have any off balance sheet debts or transactions.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”. Certain of these policies require the application of subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience, changes in the business environment and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Different estimates that could have been applied in the current period or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely can result in a material impact on our financial condition and operating results in the current and future periods. We periodically review the development, selection and disclosure of these critical accounting estimates. The following discussion is furnished for additional insight into certain accounting estimates that we consider to be critical. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Revenue and Cost Recognition

Electronic security services revenue for monitoring and maintenance services is recognized monthly as services are provided pursuant to the terms of subscriber contracts, which have prices that are fixed and determinable. The Company assesses the subscriber’s ability to meet the contract terms, including meeting payment obligations, before entering into the contract. Deferred revenue results from customers who are billed for monitoring in advance of the period in which the services are provided, on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis.

The Company follows SAB 104, which requires the Company to defer certain installation revenue and expenses, primarily equipment, direct labor and direct and incremental sales commissions incurred. The capitalized costs and revenues related to the installation are then amortized over the 10 year life of an average customer relationship, on a straight line basis. If the customer being monitored is disconnected prior to the expiration of the original expected life, the unamortized portion of the deferred installation services revenue and related deferred costs are recognized in the period the disconnection becomes effective. In accordance with EITF 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”, the security service contracts that include both installation and monitoring services are considered a single unit of accounting. The criteria in EITF 00-21 that we do not meet for monitoring services and installation services to be considered separate units of accounting is that the installation service to our customers has no standalone value. The installation service alone is not functional to our customers without the monitoring service.

Electronic security services revenue for installation services, for which no monitoring contract is connected, is recognized at the time the installation is completed.

Provisions are recognized in the statement of operations for the full amount of estimated losses on uncompleted contracts whenever evidence indicates that the estimated total cost of a contract exceeds its estimated total revenue. Contract cost is recorded as incurred and revisions in contract revenue and cost estimates are reflected in the accounting period when known. We estimate costs to complete our construction contracts based on experience from similar work in the past. If the conditions of the work to be performed change or if the estimated costs are not accurately projected, the gross profit from construction contracts may vary significantly in the future. The foregoing, as well as weather, stage of completion and mix of contracts at different margins, may cause fluctuations in gross profit between periods and these fluctuations may be significant.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from management’s review and assessment of our customers’ ability to make required payments. We consider the age of specific accounts and a customer’s payment history. If the financial condition of our customers deteriorates, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances might be required.

Provision for Inventory Obsolescence

We write down inventory for estimated obsolescence or lack of marketability arising from the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assessments about current and future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions were to be less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory reserves could be required. If the actual market demand surpasses the projected levels, inventory write downs are not reversed.

Goodwill Intangible Asset

Our goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets relate to our electronic security services segment and are tested for impairment annually on June 30th and, more frequently, if a triggering event occurs utilizing a valuation study. Recoverability of goodwill is evaluated using a two-step process. The first step involves a comparison of the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. If a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, the second step is performed. The second step involves a comparison of the implied fair value and carrying value of that reporting unit’s goodwill. To the extent that a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized. As of June 30, 2007, we were not aware of any items or events that would cause us to adjust the recorded value of goodwill for impairment. Based upon the assessment performed as of June 30, 2007, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount by approximately $12.3 million.

In performing this assessment, management uses the income approach and the similar transactions method of the market approach to develop the fair value of the Reporting Unit in order to assess its potential impairment of goodwill. The income approach is based on a discounted cash flow model which relies on a number of factors, including operating results, business plans, economic projections and anticipated future cash flows. Rates used to discount future cash flows are dependent upon interest rates and the cost of capital at a point in time. The similar transactions method is a market approach methodology in which the fair value of a business is estimated by analyzing the prices at which companies similar to the subject, which are used as guidelines, have sold in controlling interest transactions (mergers and acquisitions). Target companies are compared to the subject company, and multiples paid in transactions are analyzed and applied to subject company data, resulting in value indications. Comparability can be affected by, among other things, the product or service produced or sold, geographic markets served, competitive position, profitability, growth expectations, size, risk perception, and capital structure. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment. It is possible that assumptions underlying the impairment analysis will change in such a manner that impairment in value may occur in the future.

As of December 31, 2007 the Company was not aware of any items or events that would cause us to adjust the recorded value of goodwill for impairment. Based upon the most recent assessment as of December 31, 2007, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount by approximately $22.2 million. Management believes the most significant assumption which would have an effect on the estimated fair value of goodwill is the long-term attrition rate after considering customer price increases, the growth rates and the discount rate. The long-term projected customer account growth rate, attrition rate and discount rates that were used to arrive at the fair value calculation were approximately 10.0%, (8.0%) and 12%, respectively.

The Company estimates that a one percentage point increase in these long-term projected assumptions would impact the fair value of the reporting unit as follows (000s):


	Change in assumption
	1%			2%			3%
Growth Rate	$	13,577		$	31,244		$	55,104
Attrition Rate	$	(14,776	)	$	(26,732	)	$	(36,602	)
Discount Rate	$	(13,534	)	$	(24,568	)	$	(33,743	)

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We account for the impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of” (“SFAS No. 144”). SFAS No. 144 requires write-downs to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount.

Assets with a carrying value of $60.1million held and used by us at December 31, 2007, including property, plant and equipment and amortizable intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used, a recoverability test is performed based on assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows reflecting varying degrees of perceived risk. Impairments to long-lived assets to be disposed of are recorded based upon the fair value of the applicable assets. Since judgment is involved in determining the fair value and useful lives of long-lived assets, there is a risk that the carrying value of our long-lived assets may be overstated or understated. We believe that a one percent change in any material underlying assumptions would not by itself result in the need to impair an asset.

If the long-lived assets are identified as being planned for disposal or sale, they would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet. See Note 4, Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.

During 2007, we continued to evaluate and analyze our operations in accordance with SFAS No. 144. This analysis coupled with certain transactions that we entered into indicated that certain operating units were impaired. On January 10, 2008, we sold 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of SCGC, our quarry and ready-mix operation located in St. Martin. Based on the net book value of those assets, we recorded an impairment charge in discontinued operations of $0.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. See Note 22- Subsequent Events. During the year ended December 31, 2007, we also recorded $0.2 million of impairment charges primarily related to certain assets in our utility operations. The total impairment charge recorded for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $1.1 million.

In the fourth quarter of 2006, we sold construction equipment for less than the carrying value of the equipment resulting in an impairment charge, recorded in the third quarter of 2006, of $.4 million. Subsequent to December 31, 2006, we began negotiating an agreement to sell the joint venture operations and the assets of DevMat and, in anticipation of this sale; we recorded an impairment charge of $0.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. In March 2007, we sold construction assets and, based on the net book value of those assets, we recorded an impairment charge of $2.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. The cash flow unit and impairment charge recorded in 2006 were as follows:


	(dollars in thousands)
	Impairment Charge
Construction equipment	$	389
Construction housing project – Sint Maarten		112
DevMat joint venture operations		680
Construction assets		2,788

Total 2006 Asset Impairment Charge	$	3,969

Customer accounts are stated at fair value based on the discounted cash flows over the estimated life of the customer contracts and relationships. The Company uses a valuation study at the time of acquisition to determine the value and estimated life of customer accounts purchased in order to determine an appropriate method by which to amortize the acquired asset. The amortization life is based on historic analysis of customer relationships combined with estimates of expected future revenues from customer accounts. The Company amortizes customer accounts on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the customer contracts, which varies from four to seventeen years, and records an additional charge equal to the remaining unamortized value of the customer account when customers discontinue service before the end of the expected life. The additional charge for discontinued accounts is equal to the remaining net book value of the customer contract and relationship for the specific customer account canceled.

Customer accounts are tested on a periodic basis or as circumstances warrant. For purposes of this impairment testing, goodwill is considered to be directly related to the acquired customer accounts. Factors we consider important that could trigger an impairment review include the following:

•

high levels of customer attrition;

•

continuing recurring losses above our expectations; and

•

adverse regulatory rulings.

An impairment test of customer accounts would have to be performed when the undiscounted expected future operating cash flows by asset group, which consists primarily of capitalized customer accounts and related goodwill, is less than the carrying value of that asset group. An impairment would be recognized if the fair value of the customer accounts is less than the net book value of customer accounts.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Subsidiaries located in U.S. possessions and foreign countries file individual income tax returns. U.S. income taxes are not provided on undistributed earnings, which are expected to be permanently reinvested by foreign subsidiaries, unless the earnings can be repatriated in a tax-free or cash-flow neutral manner. In assessing the ability to realize a portion of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income in making the assessment. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were $17.8 million and $11.3 million, respectively.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. (FIN) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” and FSP FIN 48-1, which amended certain provisions of FIN 48. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 requires that the Company determine whether the benefits of the Company’s tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. The provisions of FIN 48 also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits and there was no effect on the financial condition or results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 as a result of implementing FIN 48, or FIN 48-1. The Company does not have any interest and penalties in the statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The tax years 2004-2007 remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.

Contingencies

Estimated losses from contingencies are expensed if it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Gain contingencies are not reflected in the financial statements until realized. We use judgment in assessing whether a loss contingency is probable and estimable. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Derivative Financial Instruments

We do not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes. However, the Amended SPA and Certificate of Designations governing the issuance of our Preferred Stock provide for warrants and a Right to Purchase our Preferred Stock that required it to be bifurcated and separately valued from the host instrument with which they relate. We recognize these derivatives as liabilities on our balance sheet and measure them at their estimated fair value, and recognize changes in their estimated fair value in earnings in the period of change. The Company evaluated the classification of the Warrants in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock

(“EITF No. 00-19”), and concluded that the warrants do not meet the criteria under EITF 00-19 for equity classification since there is no limit as to the number of shares that will be issued in a cashless exercise and the Company is economically compelled to deliver registered shares since the maximum liquidating damages is a significant percentage of the proceeds from the issuance of the securities. We valued the warrants and the Right to Purchase at March 6, 2006, their date of issuance, using an appropriate option pricing model (“the Model”). The Model determined an $8.6 million aggregate value for these derivatives and this value was recorded as a derivative instrument liability and classified as current or long term in accordance with respective maturity dates.

On October 20, 2006, pursuant to the terms of the amended SPA, the private placement investors received, in exchange for the Notes, an aggregate of 45,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.10 per share, with a liquidation preference equal to $1,000, convertible into common stock at a conversion price equal to $9.54 per share, adjusted to $6.75 effective on July 13, 2007. Upon the issuance of the Preferred Stock, the following embedded derivatives were identified within the Preferred Stock: i) the ability to convert the Preferred Stock for common stock; ii) the option of the Company to satisfy dividends payable on the Preferred Stock in common stock in lieu of cash; iii) the potential increase in the dividend rate of the Preferred Stock in the event a certain level of net cash proceeds from the sale of our construction and material operation assets are not realized within a specified time frame (referred to as the legacy asset rate adjustment) and (iv) a change in control redemption right. The embedded derivatives within the Preferred Stock were bifurcated and valued as a single compound derivative liability at $0.5 million at the date of issuance. On April 2, 2007, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement with respect to the Preferred Stock with some of the institutional investors, which among other amended terms eliminated the legacy rate adjustment and provide for payment of dividends in cash, therefore, at December 31, 2006, the legacy rate adjustment and the dividend put option derivatives were deemed to have zero value. With the filing of an Amended Certificate of Designations with the Secretary of State of Florida on July 13, 2007, the terms of the Forbearance Agreement were superseded. The Company recorded a $3.2 million charge during the quarter ended December 31, 2006 related to the write off of this net derivative asset. We estimated that the embedded derivatives had an estimated fair value of approximately $1.3 million and $4.5 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, of which less than $0.1 million and $0.8 million related to the Warrants, respectively. The embedded derivatives derive their value primarily based on changes in the price and volatility of our common stock and are re–valued at each balance sheet date with the resulting change in value being recorded as a charge or credit.

At December 31, 2007 and 2006, we have estimated the fair value of these embedded derivatives using the following assumptions:


	2007				2006
	Warrants		Conversion Option		Warrants		Conversion Option
Strike Price	11.925		6.75		11.925		9.54
Market Price	2.67		2.67		5.70		5.70
Volatility	45.00	%	45.00	%	45.00	%	45.00	%
Risk Free Rate	3.27	%	3.26	%	4.82	%	4.70	%
Expiration Date	3/6/2009		10/20/2012		3/6/2009		10/20/2012

For the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, we recognized income of $3.0 million and $4.6 million, respectively, due to the change in the estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives. A 1% change in the volatility factor, which is one of the significant assumptions used in this valuation model, would have less than a $0.1 million impact on the results of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measures.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measures required under other accounting pronouncements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on our future consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for us on January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on our future consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) “ Business Combinations ” (“FASB No. 141(R)”). FASB No. 141(R) retains the fundamental requirements of the original pronouncement requiring that the purchase method be used for all business combinations. FASB No. 141(R) defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination, establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control and requires the acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest at their fair values as of the acquisition date. FASB No. 141(R) also requires that acquisition-related costs be recognized separately from the acquisition. FASB No. 141(R) is effective for the Company for fiscal 2010. We are currently evaluating the impact that adoption of FASB No. 141(R) will have on our future consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, “ Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“FASB No. 160”) .” The objective of FASB No. 160 is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This Statement applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations. FASB No. 160 amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It also amends certain of ARB 51’s consolidation procedures for consistency with the requirements of FASB No. 141 (R). This Statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (that is, January 1, 2009, for entities with calendar year-ends). Earlier adoption is prohibited. The effective date of this Statement is the same as that of the related Statement 141(R). FASB No. 160 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal 2010. This Statement shall be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which this Statement is initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements. The presentation and disclosure requirements shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of FASB No. 160 will have on our future consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Audit Committee, Board of Directors

and Stockholders of Devcon International Corp.

and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Devcon International Corp. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive (loss), and cash flows for each of the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, audits of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that 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 Devcon International Corp. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

DEVCON INTERNATIONAL CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR EACH OF THE YEARS IN THE TWO-YEAR PERIOD

ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007

(1)

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)

Devcon International Corp. and its subsidiaries (“the Company”) provides electronic security services and products to residences, financial institutions, industrial and commercial businesses and complexes, warehouses, facilities of government departments and health care and educational facilities. The Company also produces and distributes ready-mix concrete, crushed stone and sand and distributes bagged cement in the Caribbean. On March 21, 2007, the Company completed the sale of fixed assets, inventory and customer lists constituting a majority of the assets of the Company’s construction operations. On March 30, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors passed a resolution which authorized management to sell the remaining assets of the construction, materials and utilities operations upon such terms and conditions, including price, as management determines to be appropriate. The Board resolution provided the Company’s management with the authority and commitment to establish a plan to sell these assets which are immediately available for sale. The Company has divested of pieces of these segments and continues to diligently work on identifying potential buyers which the Company expects to finalize within one year of the date of the board resolution. Therefore, in accordance with FASB No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“FASB No. 144”)”, at December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company has classified the assets for these discontinued operations as held for sale and the related operations have been treated as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

On January 10, 2008, the Company sold all of the issued and outstanding stock of Societe Des Carrieres de Grand Case (“SCGC”), a quarry and ready-mix operation located in St. Martin, French West Indies. Thus, the remaining non-electronic security operation is Saint Martin Masonry Products, a ready-mix operation located in Sint Maarten, Netherland Antilles. This operation has been treated as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.

(b)	BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Devcon International Corp. and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and affiliates are accounted for under the equity and cost methods. Under the equity method, original investments are recorded at cost and then adjusted by the Company’s share of undistributed earnings or losses of these ventures. Other investments in unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company owns less than 20% are accounted for using the cost method.

(c)	REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue for monitoring and maintenance services is recognized monthly as services are provided pursuant to the terms of subscriber contracts, which have prices that are fixed and determinable. The Company assesses the subscriber’s ability to meet the contract terms, including meeting payment obligations, before entering into the contract. Deferred revenue results from customers who are billed for monitoring in advance of the period in which the services are provided, on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis.

The Company follows Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 (SAB 104), which requires the Company to defer certain installation revenue and expenses, primarily equipment, direct labor and direct and incremental sales commissions incurred. The capitalized costs and deferred revenues related to the installation are then amortized over the 10 year life of an average customer relationship, on a straight line basis. If the customer being monitored is disconnected prior to the expiration of the original expected life, the unamortized portion of the deferred installation revenue and related capitalized costs are recognized in the period the disconnection becomes effective. In accordance with EITF 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”, the security service contracts that include both installation and monitoring services are considered a single unit of accounting. The criteria in EITF 00-21 that the Company does not meet for monitoring services and installation services to be considered separate units of accounting is that the installation service to customers has no standalone value. The installation service alone is not functional to customers without the monitoring service.

Revenue for installation services, for which no monitoring contract is connected, is recognized at the time the installation is completed.

(d)	CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include cash, time deposits and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less.

(e)	ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET

The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers and maintains an allowance for potential credit losses based on historical experience and other information available to management.

(f)	NOTES RECEIVABLE

Notes receivable are recorded at cost, less a related allowance for impaired notes receivable. Management, considering current information and events regarding the borrowers’ ability to repay their obligations, considers a note to be impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the note agreement. When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of the impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the note’s effective interest rate.

(g)	INVENTORIES

Inventories are primarily electronic sensors, wire and control panels (“component parts”) purchased from independent suppliers. The inventories of component parts are valued using a standard cost method to value inventory which approximates the first-in first-out cost method. If the installation of security systems will have future recurring revenue, the costs to install are deferred and included in work in process inventory. When the installation is complete, the deferred installation costs are capitalized and included in other current and long term assets accordingly. The capitalized installation costs are then amortized over the life of an average customer contract life or 10 years. If the site being monitored is disconnected prior to completion of the original expected life, the unamortized portion of the deferred installation and direct costs to acquire are expensed.

(h)	PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each asset. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset.

Useful lives or lease terms for each asset type are summarized below:


Buildings		15 - 30 years
Leasehold improvements		3 - 30 years
Equipment		3 - 20 years
Furniture and fixtures		3 - 10 years

Depreciation expense was $1.4 million and $1.5 million, for 2007 and 2006, respectively, excluding discontinued operations.

(i)	IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF

The Company accounts for the impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of” (“SFAS No. 144”). SFAS No. 144 requires write-downs to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount.

Assets with a carrying value of $60.1 million held and used by the Company at December 31, 2007, including property, plant and equipment and amortizable intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used, a recoverability test is performed based on assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows reflecting varying degrees of perceived risk. Impairments to long-lived assets to be disposed of are recorded based upon the fair value of the applicable assets. Since judgment is involved in determining the fair value and useful lives of long-lived assets, there is a risk that the carrying value of our long-lived assets may be overstated or understated. Management believes that a one percent change in any material underlying assumptions would not by itself result in the need to impair an asset.

acquired asset. The amortization life is based on historic analysis of customer relationships combined with estimates of expected future revenues from customer accounts. The Company amortizes customer accounts on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the customer contracts, which varies from four to seventeen years, and records an additional charge equal to the remaining unamortized value of the customer account when customers discontinue service before the end of the expected life. The additional charge for discontinued accounts is equal to the remaining net book value of the customer contract and relationship for the specific customer account canceled.

Customer accounts are tested on a periodic basis or as circumstances warrant. Factors we consider important that could trigger an impairment review include the following:

•

High levels of customer attrition;

•

Continuing recurring losses above our expectations; and

•

Adverse regulatory rulings

An impairment test of customer accounts would have to be performed when the undiscounted expected future operating cash flows by asset group, which consists primarily of capitalized customer accounts, is less than the carrying value of that asset group. Impairment would be recognized if the fair value of the customer accounts is less than the net book value of customer accounts.

(j)	GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets relate to the Company’s electronic security services segment and are assessed for impairment annually on June 30th and, more frequently, if a triggering event occurs utilizing a valuation study. In performing this assessment, management relies on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, and transactions and market place data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment. Since judgment is involved in performing goodwill valuation analyses, there is a risk that the carrying value of our goodwill may be overstated or understated. As of June 30, 2007, the Company was not aware of any items or events that would cause it to adjust the recorded value of goodwill for impairment. Based upon the assessment performed as of June 30, 2007, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount by approximately $12.3 million.


	Change in assumption
	1%			2%			3%
Growth Rate	$	13,577		$	31,244		$	55,104
Attrition Rate	$	(14,776	)	$	(26,732	)	$	(36,602	)
Discount Rate	$	(13,534	)	$	(24,568	)	$	(33,743	)

(k)	FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

As of December 31, 2007 all foreign subsidiaries have been classified as discontinued operations and their related foreign currency translation adjustments are included in net loss for discontinued operations within the Statement of Operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. All balances denominated in foreign currencies are revalued at year-end rates to the respective functional currency of each subsidiary. For the subsidiary with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, assets and liabilities have been translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Income statement accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates during the period. The translation adjustment increased (decreased) equity by $(0.1) million and $0.7 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Gains or losses on foreign currency transactions are reflected in the net loss of the respective periods. The income (expense) recorded in discontinued operations was $0.3 million and $0.2 million, in 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The Company does not record a foreign exchange loss or gain on long-term inter-company debt for its subsidiaries. This gain or loss is deferred and combined with the translation adjustment of said subsidiary. If and when the debt is paid, in part or whole, the deferred loss or gain will be realized and will affect the result of the respective period.

(l)	(LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE

The Company computes (loss) income per share in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share,” which establishes standards for computing and presenting basic and diluted income per share. Basic (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted (loss) income per share is computed assuming the exercise of stock options under the treasury stock method and the related income tax effects, if not anti-dilutive. For loss periods, common share equivalents are excluded from the calculation, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. See Note 11, Capital Stock for the computation of basic and diluted number of shares.

(m)	INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries file consolidated federal and state income tax returns. Subsidiaries located in U.S. possessions and foreign countries file individual income tax returns. U.S. income taxes are not provided on undistributed earnings, which are expected to be permanently reinvested by foreign subsidiaries, unless the earnings can be repatriated in a tax-free or cash-flow neutral manner. The Company does not have any undistributed earnings for which a deferred tax liability has not been recognized. Under APB 23, “ Accounting for Income Taxes – Special Areas ”, a deferred tax liability is not recognized for any excess of financial statement carrying amount over the tax basis of an investment in the stock of a foreign subsidiary that is essentially permanent in duration since the indefinite criteria is met. A deferred tax liability is not recognized for undistributed foreign earnings that are or will be invested in a foreign entity indefinitely. In assessing the ability to realize a portion of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income in making the assessment. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $17.8 million and $11.3 million, respectively.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. (FIN) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” and FSP FIN 48-1, which amended certain provisions of FIN 48. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 requires that the Company determine whether the benefits of the Company’s tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. The provisions of FIN 48 also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. In connection with the adoption of FIN No. 48, the Company analyzed the filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where the Company is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. There was no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption of FIN No. 48 on January 1, 2007. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits and there was no effect on the financial condition or results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 as a result of implementing FIN 48, or FSP FIN 48-1. In accordance with

FIN 48, the Company adopted the policy of recognizing penalties in selling, general and administrative expenses and interest, if any, related to unrecognized tax positions as income tax expense. The tax years 2004-2007 remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.

(n)	USE OF ESTIMATES

Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

(o)	CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE

The Company accounts for internal-use software development costs in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position 98-1, “Accounting for the Cost of Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use”, or SOP 98-1. SOP 98-1 specifies that software costs, including internal payroll costs, incurred in connection with the development or acquisition of software for internal use is charged to technology development expense as incurred until the project enters the application development phase. Costs incurred in the application development phase are capitalized and will be depreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of three years, beginning when the software is ready for use. During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 the amounts capitalized were insignificant.

(p)	STOCK OPTION PLANS

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payments” (“SFAS 123R”). The Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective basis. Under this method, compensation costs recognized beginning January 1, 2006 included costs related to 1) all share-based payments granted prior to but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on previously estimated grant-date fair values and 2) all share-based payments granted subsequent to December 31, 2005 based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. The Company has continued to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted subsequent to the date of adoption of SFAS 123R.

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company applied the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, in accounting for its fixed plan stock options. As such, compensation expense would be recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price.

The Company granted 215,000 and 299,000 stock options in 2007 and 2006, respectively. The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during 2007 and 2006 was $1.76 and $2.15, respectively, on the grant date, using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:


	2007		2006
Expected dividend yield	—		—
Expected price volatility	41.80-53.69	%	41.30	%
Risk-free interest rate	4.35-5.07	%	5.10	%
Expected life of options	4-6 years		4 years

During 2007 and 2006, the Company determined compensation cost based on fair value at the grant date for stock options under SFAS 123R. Such compensation cost is included in the 2007 and 2006 results of operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. See Note 12, Stock Option Plans.

(q)	RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications of amounts previously reported have been made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements in order to maintain consistency and comparability between periods presented.

In March 2006, the Company sold its outstanding common shares of Antigua Masonry Products, Ltd., a subsidiary, the business of which constituted all of the Company’s materials business in Antigua and Barbuda. In May 2006, the Company sold its fixed assets and substantially the entire inventory of its joint venture assets of Puerto Rico Crushing Company. In March 2007, the Company completed the sale of fixed assets inventory and customer lists constituting a majority of the assets of the Company’s construction operation. In addition, in March 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors passed a resolution which would authorize management to sell the remaining assets of the construction, materials and utilities operations upon such terms and conditions, including price, as management determines to be appropriate. The Board resolution has provided the Company’s management with the authority and commitment to establish a plan to sell these assets which are immediately available for sale. The Company has divested of pieces of these segments and continues to

diligently work on identifying potential buyers which the Company expects to finalize within one year of the date of the board resolution. In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the results of these operations have been reclassified from continuing to discontinued operations for all years presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations, as well as Note 3 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(r)	LEASES

In accordance with SFAS No. 13, the Company performs a review of newly acquired leases to determine whether a lease should be treated as a capital or operating lease. Capital lease assets are capitalized and depreciated over the term of the initial lease. A liability equal to the present value of the aggregated lease payments is recorded utilizing the stated lease interest rate. If an interest rate is not stated the Company will determine an estimated cost of capital and utilize that rate to calculate the present value. If the lease has an increasing rate over time and/or is an operating lease, all leasehold incentives, rent holidays, or other incentives will be considered in determining if a deferred rent liability is required. Leasehold incentives are capitalized and depreciated over the initial term of the lease.

(s)	ADVERTISING COSTS

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses totaled $0.5 million and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

(t)	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measures.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measures required under other accounting pronouncements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its future consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective on January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on its future consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) “ Business Combinations ” (“FASB No. 141(R)”). FASB No. 141(R) retains the fundamental requirements of the original pronouncement requiring that the purchase method be used for all business combinations. FASB No. 141(R) defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination, establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control and requires the acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest at their fair values as of the acquisition date. FASB No. 141(R) also requires that acquisition-related costs be recognized separately from the acquisition. FASB No. 141(R) is effective for the Company for fiscal 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of FASB No. 141(R) will have on its future consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, “ Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“FASB No. 160”) .” The objective of FASB No. 160 is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This Statement applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations. FASB No. 160 amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It also amends certain of ARB 51’s consolidation procedures for consistency with the requirements of FASB No. 141 (R). This Statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (that is, January 1, 2009, for entities with calendar year-ends). Earlier adoption is prohibited. The effective date of this Statement is the same as that of the related Statement 141(R). FASB No. 160 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal 2010. This Statement shall be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which this Statement is initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements. The presentation and disclosure requirements shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of FASB No. 160 will have on its future consolidated financial statements

ACQUISITIONS

On March 6, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of Guardian International, Inc. (“Guardian”) under the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 9, 2005, between the Company, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Guardian in which the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Guardian for an estimated aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $65.5 million, excluding transaction costs of $1.7 million. This purchase price consisted of (i) approximately $24.6 million paid to the holders of the common stock of Guardian, (ii) approximately $23.3 million paid to redeem two series of Guardian’s preferred stock, (iii) approximately $13.3 million used to assume and pay specified Guardian debt obligations and expenses and (iv) approximately $1.0 million used to satisfy specified expenses incurred by Guardian in connection with the merger. The balance of the purchase consideration, approximately $3.3 million, was placed in escrow. Subject to reconciliation based upon RMR and net working capital levels as of closing and subject to other possible adjustments, Guardian common shareholders received a partial pro-rata distribution from escrow in July 2006, with the balance pending resolution of certain specific income tax matters. In September 2007, the income tax matters were resolved and the remaining balance in escrow of $0.3 million was distributed to the Guardian common shareholders.

In order to finance the acquisition of Guardian, the Company increased the amount of cash available under its CapitalSource Revolving Credit Facility from $70 million to $100 million and used $35.6 million under this facility, together with the net proceeds from the issuance of notes and warrants, and purchased Guardian and repaid the $8 million CapitalSource Bridge Loan. The Company issued to certain investors, under the terms of a SPA, dated as of February 10, 2006, an aggregate principal amount of $45 million of notes along with warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,650,943 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $11.925 per share. On October 20, 2006, the notes were exchanged for Preferred Stock.

The Company recorded the acquisition using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price allocation was based upon a valuation study as to fair value. Additionally, the purchase price allocation reflects adjustments from the acquisition date that resulted from information subsequently obtained to estimate the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities. Through December 31, 2006, the net effect of those adjustments was $2.9 million additional value allocated to Goodwill, primarily related to the estimated value of deferred tax liabilities. Results of operations included for the acquisition are for the period March 6, 2006 to December 31, 2006.

The purchase price allocation is as follows:


	(dollars in thousands)
Cash	$	930
Accounts receivable		2,377
Inventory		1,376
Other assets		135
Net fixed assets		1,097

Deferred revenue		(2,782	)
Deferred tax liability		(11,018	)
Goodwill		32,522

Total Purchase Price Allocation	$	66,526

Acquired deferred revenue results from customers who are billed for monitoring in advance of the period in which the services are provided, on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. This deferred revenue would be recognized as monitoring and maintenance services are provided pursuant to the terms of subscriber contracts.

The following table shows the condensed consolidated results of continuing operations of the Company and Guardian, as though this acquisition had been completed at the beginning of 2006:

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In March 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors passed a resolution which would authorize management to sell the remaining assets of the construction, materials and utilities operations upon such terms and conditions, including price, as management determines to be appropriate. The Board resolution provided the Company’s management with the authority and commitment to establish a plan to sell these assets, some of which have been sold with the remaining assets being immediately available for sale. The Company is seeking to identify potential buyers which we expect to finalize within one year of the date of the board resolution. Therefore, in accordance with FASB No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“FASB No. 144”)”, as of December 31, 2007, the Company has classified the related assets as held for sale and the related operations have been treated as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

On March 21, 2007, the Company completed the transactions contemplated by a certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 12, 2007 (“Asset Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company and BitMar Ltd., a Turks and Caicos corporation and successor-in-interest to Tiger Oil, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Purchaser”), consisting of the sale of fixed assets, inventory and customer lists constituting a majority of the assets of the Company’s construction operations (“Construction Operations”), for approximately $5.3 million, subject to a holdback of $525,000 to be retained for resolution of certain indemnification matters in the form of a non-negotiable promissory note bearing a term of 120 days. The promissory note was applied to reduce amounts the Company owed to the Purchaser. The Company retained working capital of $8.0 million, including approximately $1.7 million in notes receivable, as of March 31, 2007. The majority of the Company’s leasehold interests were retained by the Company with the Purchaser assuming only the Company’s shop location in Deerfield Beach, Florida and entering into a 90-day sublease of the headquarters of the Construction Operations also located in Deerfield Beach, Florida. As of June 27, 2007, the Company has entered into an extended sublease agreement beyond the original 90 day period with the Purchaser. In addition, the Company entered into a three-year noncompetition agreement under the terms of which the Company agreed not to engage in business competitive with that of the Construction Operations in any country, territory or other area bordering the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean (“Territory”), excluding any production and distribution of ready-mix concrete, crushed stone, sand, concrete block, asphalt and bagged cement throughout the Territory and also agreed to other standard provisions concerning the non-solicitation of customers and employees of the Construction Operations. In addition, Seller and Purchaser entered into a Transition Services Agreement under the terms of which, Seller agreed to make available certain of Seller’s employees and independent contractors and other non-employees to assist Purchaser with the execution of the Construction Operations through September 16, 2007. As of December 31, 2007, the Transition Services Agreement was terminated.

As a result of this transaction, in the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company recognized an impairment charge on the construction assets of approximately $2.8 million. An additional loss on the sale of these assets of $0.3 million was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2007 upon final transfer of assets to the Purchaser. The Company established an accrued liability of $0.2 million for the Deerfield lease in accordance with FASB No. 146 “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (“FASB No. 146”).” At December 31, 2007, the related unpaid balance was $0.2 million. This accrued liability is included in other long term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and was charged to discontinued operations. The Company also accrued employee severance and retention costs in accordance with FASB No. 146. This amounted to $0.8 million and the severance portion was included in accrued expense, retirement and severance and the payroll related benefits were included in accrued expenses and other liabilities. All of these amounts were charged to discontinued operations. The Company accrued an additional $0.4 million which comprised of costs associated with additional contingencies, unanticipated jurisdictional employment requirements, and costs associated with closure of certain plant facilities. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company made payments of $1.1 million related to these charges. At December 31, 2007, the related unpaid severance balance amounted to $0.1 million.

As of February 28, 2007 the Purchaser assumed performance of the contracts transferred pursuant to the sale agreement, (i.e., all rights, benefits, duties and obligations for work performed after this date become the responsibility of the Purchaser). The Company continued to recognize revenue of these contracts during this interim period. In these cases the Purchaser performed as a subcontractor, for which the Purchaser indemnified the Company from any new contract completion risks relating to these contracts. At December 31, 2007, the Company had an amount payable to the Purchaser of $0.5 million related to a project which was completed by the Purchaser.

Donald L. Smith, Jr., the Company’s former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and a current director of the Company and Donald L. Smith, III, a former officer of the Company, are principals of the Purchaser. Other than the Asset Purchase Agreement, Transition Services Agreement and the Company’s relationship with Donald L. Smith, Jr. and Donald L. Smith, III, there is no material relationship between the Company and the Purchaser of which the Company is aware.

On June 27, 2006, the Company sold its Boca-Raton-based third-party monitoring operations.

On May 2, 2006, the Company sold its fixed assets and substantially all the inventory of Puerto Rico Crushing Company (“PRCC”) in a sale agreement with Mr. Jose Criado, through a company controlled by Mr. Criado. As part of the sale, Mr. Criado assumed substantially all employee-related severance costs and liabilities arising from the lease agreement (including reclamation and leveling) for the quarry land for a purchase price of $700,000 in cash and a two-year 5% note in an amount equal to the value of inventory as of the closing date, which was $27,955.

On March 2, 2006, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with A. Hadeed or his nominee and Gary O’Rourke, under which the Company completed the sale of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Antigua Masonry Products (“AMP). In connection with this sale, the purchasers acknowledged that preferred shares of AMP with a face value equal to EC 1,436,485 (US $532,032) as of the date of the sale (collectively, the “AMP Preferred Shares”) were outstanding and owned beneficially and of record by certain third parties and that such AMP Preferred Shares were reflected as debt on AMP’s books and records. The purchasers further acknowledged that their acquisition of AMP was subject to the AMP Preferred Shares and that the purchasers have sole responsibility of satisfying and discharging all obligations represented by such AMP Preferred Shares. Under the terms of this Stock Purchase Agreement, the purchasers acquired 493,051 common shares of AMP for a purchase price equal to $5.1 million, subject to certain adjustments. This purchase price was paid entirely in cash. In addition, the transaction included transfers of certain assets from the Antigua operations to the Company, as well as pre-closing transfers to AMP of certain preferred shares in AMP that were owned by the Company.

The accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for all years presented have been adjusted to classify all non-electronic security services operations as discontinued operations. Selected statement of operations data for the Company’s discontinued operations is as follows:

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

In 2007, the Company evaluated and analyzed both the continuing and discontinued operations in accordance with SFAS 144. While the Company does not believe an impairment charge is necessary for the continuing operations, the Company entered into certain transactions that indicated that certain of the discontinued operations were impaired. On January 10, 2008, the Company sold 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of SCGC, a quarry and ready-mix operation located in St. Martin . Based on the net book value of those assets, an impairment charge was recorded in discontinued operations of $0.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. See Note 22- Subsequent Events. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company also recorded $0.2 million of impairment charges primarily related to certain assets in the utility operations. The total impairment charge recorded for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $1.1 million.

In 2006, the Company evaluated and analyzed its operations in accordance with SFAS No. 144. This analysis, coupled with certain transactions entered into, indicated that certain operating units were impaired. In the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company sold construction equipment for less than the carrying value of the equipment resulting in an impairment charge, recorded in the third quarter of 2006, of $0.4 million. Subsequent to December 31, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the joint venture operations and the assets of DevMat and, in anticipation of this sale, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $0.7 million in

the fourth quarter of 2006. In March 2007, the Company sold construction assets and, based on the net book value of those assets, recorded an impairment charge of $2.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. The cash flow unit and impairment charge recorded in 2006 were as follows:

On February 10, 2006, the Company issued to certain investors, under the terms of the SPA, an aggregate principal amount of $45 million of notes (the “Notes”) along with warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,650,943 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $11.925 per share. In order to finance the acquisition of Guardian, which took place on March 6, 2006, the Company increased the amount of cash available under its credit agreement (‘Credit Agreement”) with CapitalSource Finance LLC (“CapitalSource”) from $70.0 million to $100.0 million and used $35.6 million under this facility together with the net proceeds from the issuance of the notes and warrants to purchase Guardian and repay the $8.0 million CapitalSource Bridge Loan Agreement. The Borrowers agreed to secure all of their obligations under the loan documents relating to the Credit Agreement by granting to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, a security interest in and second priority perfected lien on (1) substantially all of their existing and after-acquired personal and real property and (2) all capital stock owned by each Borrower of each other Borrower.

The Credit Agreement contains a number of non-financial covenants imposing restrictions on the Company’s electronic security services operation’s ability to, among other things, i) incur more debt, ii) pay dividends, redeem or repurchase stock or make other distributions or impair the ability of any subsidiary to make such payments to the borrower; iii) use assets as security in other transactions, iv) merge or consolidate with others or v) guarantee obligations of others The Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants that require the Company’s subsidiaries which comprise the electronic security services to meet a number of financial ratios and tests. Failure to comply with the obligations in the Credit Agreement could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could permit acceleration of this indebtedness or of other indebtedness, allowing senior lenders to foreclose on the Company’s electronic security services assets.

In October and November 2006, the Company was not in compliance with certain financial covenants and on December 29, 2006, obtained a waiver and third amendment to the Credit Agreement that waived these breaches and amended the following provisions of the Credit Agreement; (i) increased the maximum leverage ratio from 26.0x to 1.0 to 26.6x to 1.0 (ii) reduced the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio from 1.25 to 1.0 to 1.15 to 1.0 and (iii) increased the maximum capital expenditures from $1.5 million to $1.75 million.

On May 10, 2007, the Company received a fourth amendment to the Credit Agreement which amended the fixed charge coverage ratio calculation from using interest paid in cash to accrued interest. On September 25, 2007, certain subsidiaries (the “Borrowers”) of the Company entered into a Consent and Fifth Amendment (the “Fifth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement with CapitalSource). The Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement dated September 25, 2007, increased the total commitment to $105.0 million from $100.0 million (with the Borrowers having the ability to increase this commitment further to $125.0 million), extended the maturity date of the Credit Agreement to September 25, 2010, increased the Maximum Leverage Ratio to 28.0x, amended Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio to be 1.25 to 1.0 after June 30, 2008, and certain financial and other covenants provided therein. The Company incurred debt issuance costs amounting to $0.7 million related to the execution of the Fifth Amendment. These debt issuance costs are being amortized over the term of the loan using the effective interest rate method. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the unamortized balance of these debt issuance costs amounted to $1.0 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The Company’s effective interest rate at December 31, 2007 and 2006 was 10.8% and 11.6%, respectively.

At December 31, 2007, the Company had $10.6 million of unused facility under the Credit Agreement and zero borrowing capacity as the Company was not in compliance with the debt covenant requirements at December 31, 2007, specifically the required attrition ratio. On March 14, 2008, the Company amended the terms and conditions of its Credit Agreement (“Waiver and Sixth Amendment”) which included a waiver of noncompliance matters to the extent that the noncompliance matters constituted a default or an event of default under the Credit Agreement at December 31, 2007. See Note 22 – Subsequent Events.

At December 31, 2006, the Company had a $0.2 million line of credit with a bank in Sint Maarten. No amounts were outstanding under this line of credit as of December 31, 2007 or 2006.

The total maturities of all debt subsequent to December 31, 2007 are as follows:

Preferred Stock

On February 10, 2006, the Company issued to certain investors, under the terms of the SPA, the Notes along with warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,650,943 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $11.925 per share.

The Preferred Stock has an 8% dividend rate payable quarterly in cash or stock at the option of the Company, on April 1, July 1, October 1, and January 1. The dividend rate is subject to adjustment as defined in the SPA. The Preferred Stock is convertible into the Company’s common stock at a price of $9.54 or 90% of the lowest Closing Bid Price for the last 3 trading days, if in default. The conversion price is subject to adjustment for anti-dilution transactions, as defined. Shares may be redeemed in cash if 1) the shares are not registered, 2) at maturity on or about October 20, 2012, in three equal installments payable in cash on the 4 ^th , 5 ^th and 6 ^th anniversary of the issuance date, 3) at the option of the holder, for cash, on May 11, 2009 or 4) at the option of the Company, for cash, on or after May 11, 2009. The Preferred Stock has a mandatory conversion into Common Stock, at the option of the Company, after 2 years from date of issuance, if the common stock price exceeds 175% of the conversion price for 60 consecutive trading days.

The Preferred Stock was issued at a discount of $0.5 million on October 20, 2006. The Company is amortizing the discount over the term of the Preferred Stock using the effective interest rate method. For the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the

amortization of the discount on the Preferred Stock amounted to $0.2 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively, and was charged to net loss available to common shareholders. The accretion amount charged for the year ended December 31, 2007 includes $0.1 million of unamortized discount written off related to the pro-rata portion of the Preferred Stock that was redeemed in September 2007. See further discussion below.

The Preferred Stock is classified outside stockholder’s equity as it may be mandatorily redeemable at the option of the holder or upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the Company. Any preferred dividends as well as the accretion of the $0.5 million discount are deducted from net income (loss) available to common shareholders. In connection with entering into the Notes, Warrants and Preferred Stock arrangements, the Company paid fees totaling $3.9 million. These fees were accounted for as deferred financing costs and are amortized on a straight line basis over 4.0 years. Through October 20, 2006 (date of the exchange of the Notes), the Company amortized approximately $0.5 million of these costs and was charged to interest expense. The Preferred Stock is accreted to its liquidation value based on the effective interest method over the period to the earliest redemption date. The accretion of the deferred issuance costs was charged to retained earnings (if a deficit balance then the charge is to additional paid-in capital). For the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, approximately $1.1 million and $0.1 million of amortization of deferred issuance costs was charged to retained earnings and deducted from net loss available to common shareholders. The accretion amount charged for the year ended December 31, 2007 includes $0.4 million of unamortized deferred issuance costs written off related to the pro-rata portion of the Preferred Stock that was redeemed in September 2007. See further discussion below. The unamortized balance of deferred financing costs at December 31, 2007 and 2006, amounted to $2.2 million and $3.3 million, respectively, and are recorded as a reduction of the carrying value of the Preferred Stock in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. In addition, it was determined that the Preferred Stock has several embedded derivatives that met the requirements for bifurcation at the date of issuance. (See Note 10, Derivative Instruments.)

The issuance of the Preferred Stock and of the warrants could cause the issuance of greater than 20% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock and the exercise of the warrants. The creation of a new class of preferred stock was subject to shareholder approval under Florida law, while, for various reasons related to the potential issuance of greater than 20% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, the issuance of the Preferred Stock required shareholder approval under the rules of Nasdaq. Holders of more than 50% of the Company’s common stock approved the foregoing. The approval became effective after the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations relating to the delivery of an information statement on Schedule 14C to our shareholders was satisfied.

On April 2, 2007, effective as of March 30, 2007, the Company entered into the Forbearance Agreements with certain institutional investors (the “Required Holders”) holding, in the aggregate, a majority of the Company’s previously-issued Preferred Stock.

Under the terms of these Forbearance Agreements, the Required Holders have agreed that for a period of time ending no later than January 2, 2008, they shall each refrain from taking any remedial action with respect to the Company’s failure (the “Effectiveness Failure”) to have declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Preferred Stock and warrants as required by a Registration Rights Agreement, dated February 10, 2006, by and between the Company, the Required Holders and the remaining holder of the Preferred Stock (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The parties also agreed to refrain from declaring the occurrence of any “Triggering Event” with respect to the Effectiveness Failure and from delivering any Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder with respect thereto or demanding any amounts due and payable with respect to the Effectiveness Failure, including without limitation, any Registration Delay Payments. No remedial actions were taken by the Required Holders.

The Forbearance Agreements also contain agreements to amend the governing Certificate of Designations to revise certain terms of the Preferred Stock, including, without limitation, a reduction in the conversion price of the Preferred Stock to $6.75, allowance for the accrual of dividends on the Preferred Stock at a rate equal to 10% per annum, which dividends may be payable in kind, and a revision of the definition of the Leverage Ratio. The revised definition shall provide for the Leverage Ratio to be calculated as a multiple of recurring monthly revenue (“Performing RMR”) as opposed to EBITDA and a revision of the Maximum Leverage Ratio covenant to require the Maximum Leverage Ratio to equal 38x Performing RMR, commencing on June 30, 2008. The parties to the Forbearance Agreement also agreed to allow dividends to accrue but not be payable until the expiration of the Forbearance Period.

On June 29, 2007, the Company’s shareholders approved the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations at the Company’s annual shareholder meeting. The Company filed the Amended Certificate of Designations with the Secretary of State of Florida on July 13, 2007, effective as of such date. In connection with the filing of the Amended Certificate of Designations, the Company and the parties to the Forbearance Agreements entered into the Amended SPA and the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement. The Amended SPA contains terms similar to the original SPA entered into among the parties on February 10, 2006, except that one holder agreed to sell back to the Company warrants to purchase 1,284,067 shares of the Company’s common stock, and the parties thereto acknowledged and agreed that the Company’s dividend payment obligations with respect to the Preferred Stock accruing prior to the Closing date (July 13, 2007) of the Amended SPA have been satisfied by adding such dividends to the Stated Value of the shares of Preferred Stock. Thus, the Company now has the option of paying the dividends in-kind and not to

deplete cash resources for these dividend payments. At December 31, 2006, the Company accrued $0.9 million of dividends payable which is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. This amount was charged to net loss available to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2006. For the year ended December 31, 2007, $4.3 million of dividends payable were declared from and charged to additional paid-in capital and deducted from net loss available for common shareholders. Of the $4.3 million of dividends payable, $3.9 million were accreted to the stated value of the Preferred Stock. The difference of $0.4 million dividends were paid in cash to an investor in connection with the lawsuit discussed below.

On September 28, 2007, the Company redeemed 7,000 shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock at $1,000 stated value per share, in connection with previously disclosed settlement arrangements the Company had entered into to settle all claims set forth in the lawsuit (the “Lawsuit”) disclosed under the Caption “Series A Convertible Preferred Stockholder” in “Item 3—Legal Proceedings”, the total amount paid by the Company upon redemption of the shares was $7.4 million, which included accrued dividends since January 1, 2007.

In connection with the redemption of the Preferred Stock, for the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company charged to additional paid-in-capital $0.4 million of unamortized deferred issuance costs and $0.1 million of unamortized discount related to the pro-rata portion of the Preferred Stock. The carrying value of the Preferred Stock at December 31, 2007 and 2006, was $39.4 million and $41.2 million, respectively.

Derivative Instruments

Derivative financial instruments, such as warrants and embedded derivative instruments of a host instrument, which risk and rewards of such derivatives are not clearly and closely related to the risk and rewards of the host instrument, are generally required to be bifurcated and separately valued from the host instrument with which they relate.

The following freestanding and embedded derivative financial instruments were identified with the issuance of the Notes : i) the warrants, which is a freestanding derivative, and ii) the right to purchase the Preferred Stock upon issuance (“the Right to Purchase”), which is a freestanding derivative instrument within the SPA. The Company valued the Warrants and the Right to Purchase at March 6, 2006, their date of issuance, using an appropriate option pricing model (“the Model”). The Warrants, which were issued in connection with the issuance of the Notes, are detachable and have a three-year life expiring on March 6, 2009. The Company evaluated the classification of the Warrants in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock (“EITF No. 00-19”), and concluded that the warrants do not meet the criteria under EITF 00-19 for equity classification since there is no limit as to the number of shares that will be issued in a cashless exercise and the Company is economically compelled to deliver registered shares since the maximum liquidating damages is a significant percentage of the proceeds from the issuance of the securities. The Rights to Purchase are deemed to be issued in connection with the issuance of the Notes, and have a life which expires on the date the Preferred Stock is issued. The Model determined an $8.6 million aggregate value for these derivatives and this value has been recorded as derivative instrument liability and classified as current or long term in accordance with respective maturity dates. The Model assumptions for initial valuation of the Warrants and Rights to Purchase the Preferred Stock as of the issuance date were a risk free rate of 4.77% and 4.77%, respectively, and volatility for the Company’s common stock of 50% and 30%, respectively. The volatility factors differ because of the specific terms related to the Warrants and the conversion rights. Since these derivatives are associated with the Notes, the face value of the notes was recorded net of the $8.6 million attributed to these derivative liabilities. Accordingly, the Company accreted the $8.6 million carrying value of the Notes, using the effective rate method, over the life of the Notes and recorded a non-cash charge amounting to $8.6 million to interest expense from the date of issuance through October 20, 2006, the date of exchange of the Notes into Preferred Stock. Additionally, the derivative liability amounts have been re-valued at each balance sheet date with the resulting change in value being recorded as income or expense to arrive at net income. From the date of issuance through October 20, 2006, an aggregate benefit of $7.3 million has been recorded with respect to the re-valuation of these derivatives liabilities and the fair value of the Right to Purchase derivative liability was adjusted to zero at October 20, 2006 as the Right to Purchase was executed by the Note Holders. The remaining derivative liability at October 20, 2006 of $1.3 million related to the Warrants.

On October 20, 2006, pursuant to the terms of the SPA, the private placement investors received, in exchange for the Notes, an aggregate of 45,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.10 per share, with a liquidation preference equal to $1,000, convertible into common stock at a conversion price equal to $9.54 per share. On July 13, 2007, the conversion price was adjusted to $6.75. (See Note 9, Preferred Stock). Upon the issuance of the Preferred Stock, the following embedded derivatives were identified within the Preferred Stock: i) the ability to convert the Preferred Stock for common stock; ii) the option of the Company to satisfy dividends payable on the Preferred Stock in common stock in lieu of cash (dividend put option); iii) the potential increase in the dividend rate of the Preferred Stock in the event a certain level of net cash proceeds from the sale of our construction and material operation assets are not realized within a specified time frame (referred to as the legacy asset rate adjustment) and (iv) a change in control redemption right. The embedded derivatives within the Preferred Stock were bifurcated and valued as a single compound derivative liability at $0.5 million at the date of issuance. On April 2, 2007, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement with respect to the Preferred Stock with some of the institutional investors, which among other amended terms eliminated the legacy rate adjustment and provided for payment of dividends in cash, therefore, at December 31, 2006, the legacy rate adjustment and the dividend put option derivatives were deemed to have zero value. The Company recorded a $3.2 million charge, during the year ended December 31, 2006, related to the write off of this net derivative asset.

As indicated in Note 9-Preferred Stock, effective July 13, 2007, the Company entered into an Amended SPA which contained terms similar to the original SPA entered into among the parties on February 10, 2006, except that one holder agreed to sell back to the Company warrants to purchase 1,284,067 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company purchased back the warrants at fair value which was determined to be $0.2 million. At December 31, 2007, the derivative liability was adjusted accordingly.

The Model assumptions for the estimated fair valuation of the Warrants and the remaining embedded derivatives at December 31, 2007 and 2006 were an average risk free rate of 3.27% and 4.65%, respectively, and volatility for the Company’s common stock of 45% and 45%, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, a benefit of $3.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively, was recorded with respect to the re-valuation of these derivative liabilities and warrants. A total aggregate benefit of $4.6 million was recorded with respect to the valuation of all derivatives and warrants for the year ended December 31, 2006. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the derivative liability amounted to $1.3 million and $4.5 million, respectively, of which $1.3 million and $3.7 million, respectively, related to the conversion feature of the preferred stock and less than $0.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, related to the Warrants.

The following table summarizes the activity for each derivative instrument for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

STOCK OPTION PLANS

The Company adopted stock option plans for officers and employees in 1986, 1992 and 1999, and amended the 1999 plan in 2003. While each plan terminated 10 years after the adoption date, issued options have their own schedule of termination.

On September 22, 2006, the Company’s board of directors adopted the Devcon International Corp. 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan (“2006 Plan”). The terms of the 2006 plan provide for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights or SARs, restricted stock, preferred stock, other stock-related awards and performance awards that may be settled in cash, stock or other property. The purpose of the 2006 plan is to provide a means for the Company to attract key personnel to provide services to provide a means whereby those key persons can acquire and maintain stock ownership, and provide annual and long term performance incentives to expend their maximum efforts in the creation of shareholder value. The effective date of the plan coincides with the date of shareholder approval which occurred on November 10, 2006. After the effective date of the 2006 plan, no further awards may be made under the Devcon International Corp. 1999 Stock Option Plan.

Under the 2006 plan, the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be subject to the granting of awards is equal to 800,000 shares, plus the number of shares with respect to which awards previously granted thereunder that terminate without being exercised, and the number of shares that are surrendered in payment of any awards or any tax withholding requirements. In 2007 and 2006, there were 215,000 and 299,000 options granted, respectively, to directors, officers and employees under the 2006 plan. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted in accordance with SFAS 123R. Stock-based compensation cost in the amount of $0.4 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These amounts are included in the results of operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

All stock options granted pursuant to the 1986 Plan have vested and been exercised or forfeited Stock options granted under the 1992 and 1999 Plan vest and become exercisable in varying terms and periods set by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Options issued under the 1992 and 1999 Plan expire after 10 years.

The Company adopted a stock-option plan for directors in 1992 that terminated in 2002. Stock options granted under the Directors’ Plan have 10-year terms, vest and become fully exercisable six months after the issue date. As the directors’ plan was fully granted in 2000, the directors have received their annual options since then from the employee plans.

Stock option activity by year was as follows:


	Employee Plans				Director’s Plan
	Shares		Weighted Avg. Exercise Price		Shares	Weighted Avg. Exercise Price

WARRANT ISSUANCE

On July 30, 2004, the Company closed the transaction with Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Ltd. (“Coconut Palm”), which the Company entered into on April 2, 2004. The transaction received shareholder approval at the annual meeting on July 30, 2004. Coconut Palm purchased from the Company 2,000,000 units for a purchase price of $9.00 per unit.

Each unit (a “Unit”) consists of (i) one share of common stock, par value $0.10 (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, (ii) a warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share with a term of three years, (iii) a warrant to purchase one half of one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.00 per share with a term of four years and (iv) a warrant to purchase one half of one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $15.00 per share with a term of five years. Coconut Palm distributed 50 percent of the warrants to Messrs. Rochon, Ferrari, Ruzika and others for future services to the Company. Based on the value of the warrants the Company recorded a one-time compensation expense of $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2004. The 2,000,000 Units to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share expired on July 30, 2007.

Based on the number of shares that Coconut Palm purchased and the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding on July 30, 2004, Coconut Palm acquired approximately 35.3 percent of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the closing of the Purchase Agreement. Coconut Palm was also entitled, on a fully diluted basis, to acquire up to 57.6 percent (as of March 7, 2008, 49.5% net of treasury shares) of the Common Stock of the Company outstanding upon exercise of the warrants. In addition, two individuals designated by Coconut Palm, Richard C. Rochon and Mario B. Ferrari, were elected to the Company’s board of directors.

In connection with the March 2006 issuance of $45.0 million of term notes, the Company issued warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,650,943 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $11.925 per share. Effective July 13, 2007, the Company entered into an Amended SPA which contained terms similar to the original SPA entered into among the parties on February 10, 2006, except that one holder agreed to sell back to the Company warrants to purchase 1,284,067 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company purchased back the warrants at fair value which was determined to be $0.2 million. This issuance of warrants is further discussed in Note 9 – Preferred Stock and Note 10 – Derivative Instruments.

Net deferred tax asset (Liability)	$	(690	)	$	(2,636	)

In assessing the ability to realize a portion of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income in making the assessment. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was $17.8 million and $11.3 million, respectively. The increase in valuation allowance was $6.5 million and $1.4 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in valuation allowance was primarily due to the loss from continuing operations offset by the carryback of a net operating loss in the Virgin Islands. We determined that for the calendar year ended December 31, 2007, the utilization of the deferred tax assets is premised on the recognition of the deferred liabilities created primarily by the acquisitions of the Guardian and Coastal business in the same periods. At December 31, 2006, a $2.4 million current deferred tax asset was included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

At December 31, 2007, the Company had accumulated net operating loss carry-forwards available to offset future taxable income in the following tax jurisdictions: $28.4 million for Federal tax purposes, $64.8 million for state tax purposes, and $24.6 million in various Caribbean jurisdictions. All tax loss carry-forwards expire at various times through the year 2027.

In December 2004, the Company distributed $4.6 million of the earnings from one of its subsidiaries in Antigua. The distribution was made under the benefit of a deemed payment provision of a settlement agreement between the Company and the government of Antigua and Barbuda. The settlement agreement with the government of Antigua and Barbuda provided for withholding tax credits of $7.5 million for dividend distributions made by the Company from Antigua through the years 2005 to 2007. During 2006, the Company distributed an additional $4.6 million of earnings before the sale of the material division subsidiaries in Antigua, using another $1.2 million of the withholding tax credits.

In March 2006, the Company acquired Guardian International for $65.5 million in cash. In conjunction with the identification and valuation of finite lived assets under FAS 141, an additional net deferred tax liability of $11.0 million was established through the purchase accounting.

SEGMENT REPORTING

On March 30, 2007, the Board of Directors approved a board resolution to authorize management to sell the remaining assets of the construction, materials and utilities operations upon such terms and conditions, including price, as management determines to be appropriate. The board resolution to discontinue all non-security services businesses eliminated the requirement to disclose segment operations as the Company’s only segment is electronic security services as well as eliminated the requirement to disclose certain financial information for foreign subsidiaries as all of our foreign subsidiaries were discontinued.

RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

The Company’s policies and procedures provide that related person transactions be approved in advance by either the audit committee or a majority of disinterested directors.

On August 12, 2005, the Company entered into a Management Services Agreement, dated as of August 12, 2005 and retroactive to April 18, 2005(the “Management Agreement”), with Royal Palm Capital Management, LLLP (“Royal Palm”), to provide management services. Royal Palm Capital Management, LLLP is an affiliate of Coconut Palm Capital Investors I Ltd. (“Coconut Palm”) with whom the Company completed a transaction on June 30, 2004, whereby Coconut Palm invested $18 million into the Company for purposes of the Company entering into the electronic security services industry. Richard Rochon, the Company’s Chairman, and Mario Ferrari, one of the Company’s directors, are principals of Coconut Palm and Royal Palm. Mr. Rochon has also been the Company’s acting Chief Executive Officer since the resignation of Steven Ruzika subsequent to December 31, 2006. Robert Farenhem, a principal of Royal Palm, is the Company’s President.

The management services to be provided include, among other things, assisting the Company with, among other matters, establishing certain office, accounting and administrative procedures, obtaining financing relating to business operations and acquisitions, developing and implementing advertising, promotional and marketing programs, facilitating certain securities matters (both proposed offerings and ongoing compliance issues) and future acquisitions and dispositions, developing tax planning strategies and formulating risk management policies. Under the terms of the Management Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay Royal Palm a management fee in the amount of $30,000 per month. In connection with this agreement, the Company incurred $0.4 million, during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

In addition, the Company leases certain office space to Royal Palm under an agreement dated January 1, 2006. Royal Palm paid a total of $90,000 in rent to the Company for the years ending December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

On March 21, 2007, the Company completed the transactions contemplated by a certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 12, 2007 (“Asset Purchase Agreement”). These assets were sold to BitMar, Ltd, a Turks and Caicos Corporation and a successor-in-interest to Tiger Oil, Inc., a Florida corporation. Donald L. Smith Jr., the Company’s former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and a current director of the Company and Donald L. Smith III, a former officer of the Company, are principals of BitMar, Ltd. (See Note 3-Discontinued Operations). At December 31, 2007, there was an outstanding net payable balance of approximately $0.5 million, which is included in other payables of the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

The Company leased from the wife of Mr. Donald L. Smith, Jr., a director and former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, a 1.8-acre parcel of real property in Deerfield Beach, Florida. This property was used for the Company’s equipment logistics and maintenance activities. The property was subject to a 5-year lease entered into in January 2002 providing for rent of $95,000 per year. This rent was based on comparable rental contracts for similar properties in Deerfield Beach, as evaluated by management. There was a verbal agreement that extended this lease for a year. This lease was assumed by the purchaser of the construction operation assets of which Mr. Donald Smith is a part. During the years ended December 31, 2007and 2006, the Company had rent expense charges of less than $0.1 million.

The Company entered into various construction and payment deferral agreements with an entity which owned and managed a resort project in the Bahamas in which Mr. Donald L. Smith Jr., a director and former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, a prior director of the Company and a subsidiary of the Company are minority partners owning 11.3 percent, 1.55 percent and 1.2 percent, respectively. Mr. Smith is also a member of the entity’s managing committee.

•

As of January 1, 2003, the Company entered into a payment deferral agreement with the resort project whereby several notes, which are guaranteed partly by certain owners of the project, evidenced a loan totaling $2.0 million owed to the Company. Mr. Donald Smith, Jr. issued a personal guarantee for the total amount due under this loan agreement to the Company. This loan was paid during 2006.

•

In the second quarter of 2005, the Company entered into a construction contract to build a $3.0 million residence on Lot 22 of the resort project whereby certain investors in the entity owning and managing the resort provide the funding for the construction of the residence. For the year ended December 31, 2006 the Company recorded revenue of $0.9 million. On December 31, 2006, the receivable balance attributable to this job was $0.2 million. The cost in excess of billings and estimated earnings was zero at December 31, 2006. Subsequent to the Company’s fiscal year end, on March 13, 2007, the Company and Mr. Smith entered into a Termination and Release Agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Smith and the Company release each other from any further obligation related to Lot 22. Specifically, the Agreement provides that neither the Company nor Mr. Smith shall have any obligation to perform any services for or make any payments to each other.

•

During 2007 the resort project went into receivership and the equity investors’ investment became worthless. We wrote off our equity interest and wrote down the receivable to $25,000, the amount that we believe is collectible under a guarantee agreement with the King Foundation.

In June 2000, the Company entered into an amended Life Insurance and Salary Continuation Agreement with Donald L. Smith, Jr., our former Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. Mr. Smith has received a retirement benefit since his retirement from his position in 2005. Benefits equal 75 percent of his base salary and will continue for the remainder of his life. In the event that a spouse survives him, then the surviving spouse will receive a benefit equal to 100 percent of his base salary for the shorter of five years or the remainder of the surviving spouse’s life. During 2006, Mr. Smith received $253,800 in retirement payments under this agreement. The net present value of the future obligation was estimated at $1.5 million and $1.6 million at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. These amounts are included in accrued expenses-retirement and severance in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Mr. James R. Cast, a former director, through his tax and consulting practice, provided services to us for more than ten years. The Company paid Mr. Cast $75,000 for consulting services provided to the Company in 2006. Mr. Cast resigned from the Board of Directors in January 2006.

The Company has entered into a retirement agreement with Mr. Richard Hornsby, former Senior Vice President and Director. He retired from the Company at the end of 2004. From 2006 he will receive annual payments of $32,000 for life. The Company expensed the net present value of the obligation to pay Mr. Hornsby $32,000 annually for life, over his estimated remaining service period at the Company, during 2004. The net present value of the future obligation was estimated at $0.3 million and $0.3 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

On June 6, 1991, the Company issued a promissory note in favor of Donald Smith, Jr., a director and former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, in the aggregate principal amount of $2,070,000. The note provided that the balance due under the note was due on January 1, 2004, but this maturity date was extended by agreement between Mr. Smith and the Company to October 1, 2006. The balance under the note would have become immediately due and payable upon a change of control. This note was paid in October 2006.

Total operating lease and rental expense for vehicles and equipment, excluding discontinued operations for all periods presented was $0.8 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The equipment leases are normally on a month-to-month basis.

The Company received a leasehold incentive of $559,102 for the principal executive offices in Boca Raton, Florida, which was utilized over the first ten months of 2006. Under SFAS No. 13, a deferred rent liability of $559,102 was recorded for this lease. The leasehold improvements are being amortized through the end of the initial lease terms, excluding renewal periods, through August 2015. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the unamortized balance of this deferred credit amounted to $0.6 million at the end of each year.

Legal Matters

General

In the ordinary course of conducting its business, the Company may become involved in various legal actions and other claims, some of which are currently pending. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and management may be unable to accurately predict the outcome of individual litigated matters. Some of these matters possibly may be decided unfavorably towards the Company. It is the opinion of management that the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these matters will not be material.

The Company is involved, on a continuing basis, in monitoring our compliance with environmental laws and in making capital and operating improvements necessary to comply with existing and anticipated environmental requirements. While it is impossible to predict with certainty, management currently does not foresee such expenses in the future as having a material effect on the business, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company.

The Company is subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. Management believes that the Company is in compliance with all such laws and regulations. Compliance with environmental protection laws has not had a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the past and is not expected to have a material adverse impact in the foreseeable future.

Yellow Cedar

Community, located next to the end of the expansion project, claimed to have experienced several days of excessive dust in their area as a result of the ongoing construction work and have claimed damage to their property and personal injury. The homeowners of Yellow Cedar have filed two separate lawsuits for unspecified damages against VIPA and VICBP as co-defendants. In both cases VICBP, as defendant, has agreed to indemnify VIPA for any civil action as a result of the construction work. VICBP brought a declaratory judgment action in the District Court of the Virgin Islands to determine whether there is coverage under the primary policy. On October 23, 2007, the declaratory judgment was ruled in favor of insurers and we have since filed an Appeal of the Denial. If the Appeal of the Denial for the Company’s Summary Judgment is favorable to us, VICBP would be liable for the $50 per claim and the original $50,000 deductible. However, this was satisfied when the initial claims were resolved with claimants. Additionally, the Company will recover its legal expenses for pursuing the Summary Judgment.

Petit

On July 25, 1995, our subsidiary, Societe des Carrieres de Grande Case ( “SCGC”), entered into an agreement with Mr. Fernand Hubert Petit, Mr. Francois Laurent Petit and Mr. Michel Andre Lucien Petit, collectively referred to as, Petit, to lease a quarry located in St. Martin. Another lease was entered into by SCGC on October 27, 1999 for the same and additional property. BBW entered into a materials supply agreement with Petit on July 31, 1995. This materials supply agreement was amended on October 27, 1999 and under the terms of this amendment we became a party to the materials supply agreement. In February 2005 we purchased the three hectares of land for $1.1 million in cash and executed the 15 hectare lease. In September 2006 we exercised the 2 hectare option and transferred $1 million in cash to the appropriate agent of Petit. Petit refused to accept the $1 million payment unless Devcon International Corp., the parent company, agreed to guarantee payment of the $1.0 million due on December 31, 2008. As Devcon International Corp. was not referenced in or party to the 2 hectare option, it was our position that Petit’s request was without merit. The $1 million was placed on deposit with the appropriate third-party escrow agent pending the outcome of this dispute.

On January 10, 2008, the Company sold all the issued and outstanding stock of SCGC, a quarry and ready-mix operation located in St. Martin, French West Indies, to Petit. Based on the net book value of those assets, the Company recorded an impairment charge in discontinued operations of $0.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. In addition, the Company entered into a settlement with Petit and upon the sale of SCGC the lawsuit was dismissed. The $1.0 million deposit paid to Petit to execute the 2 hectare option was released to the Company from the third-party escrow agent at the time the sale agreement was consummated. See Note 22 – Subsequent Events.

Lydia Security Monitoring

On June 27, 2006, the Company sold its Boca Raton-based third party monitoring operation (which operated under the name Central One) and the associated Boca Raton monitoring center to Lydia Security Monitoring, Inc. (“Lydia Security”). On July 30, 2007, Lydia Security enjoined Devcon Security Holdings, Inc., Coastal Security Systems, Inc. and Coastal Security Company (collectively, “Devcon/Coastal”) as a third party complainant in a lawsuit filed against a former Central One wholesale monitoring customer, seeking recovery of minimum monthly payments and other sums under a monitoring agreement sold to Lydia Security by Devcon/Coastal. On March 11, 2008, Lydia Security and Devcon/Coastal reached a settlement agreement in principal wherein in exchange for assets and cash, the parties would settle their lawsuit. At December 31, 2007, the Company included a provision for the amount of the settlement in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. See Note 22 – Subsequent Events.

Employment Contracts

The Company has entered into employment agreements with certain executives. The contractual obligation related to these agreements through December 31, 2009 amounts to $0.7 million.

(19)

BUSINESS AND CREDIT CONCENTRATIONS

No single customer within the Company’s electronic security services accounted for more than 10% of total sales. For electronic security services, the Company’s customer base is concentrated in Florida and the New York City, New York metropolitan area.

The Company had a union agreement with certain of its employees on Antigua and Barbuda. The union contract expired in November 2006 and the terms were honored by the Company through June 30, 2007, when all of the Antiguan employees were terminated in connection with sale of assets to TCI.

The Company has a union agreement with certain of its employees working for Mutual Alarm. The contract was renewed effective July, 2007 through June, 2010. There have been no labor conflicts in the past.

The Company at various times during the year maintains cash balances in excess of federally insured (FDIC) limits. The uninsured balances were $2.4 million and $4.1 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

For the construction and materials operations, the Company’s customer base is primarily located in the Caribbean and typically customers within the construction operation engaged the Company to develop large marinas, resorts and other site improvements and consequently, made up a larger percentage of total sales. The construction operation was sold in March 2007 and the materials operation was discontinued in March 2007. See Note 3 – Discontinued Operations.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, there were four customers that represented more than 10% of construction receivables. As of December 31, 2006, the total receivable from these customers was $0.9 million, $0.8 million, $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively. These amounts include retention billings of $0.2 million, $0.8 million, $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Although receivables are generally not collateralized, the Company may place liens or their equivalent in the event of nonpayment. The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the creditworthiness of customers as determined by specific events or circumstances and by applying a percentage to the receivables within a specific aging category. For the year ended December 31, 2007, there were no customers that represented more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding receivables.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, three customers in the construction business accounted for more than 10% of total sales for this operation. One customer in the U.S. Virgin Islands accounted for 12.4%, one in Antigua accounted for 11.1% and one in the Bahamas accounted for 10.9% of total sales for the construction business. For the year ended December 31, 2007, there were no customers that represented more than 10% of total revenues.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, one customer in the materials business accounted for $4.5 million, or 28.7%, of total sales for this operation. For the year ended December 31, 2007, total revenue from this customer was less than 10.0% of total revenues.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The Company provides, to certain employees, defined retirement and severance benefits. Accrued expenses which arise in accordance with these benefits are based upon periodic actuarial valuations which use the projected unit credit method for calculation and are charged to the consolidated statements of operations in a systematic basis over the expected average remaining service lives of current employees who are eligible to receive the required benefits. The net expense with respect to certain of these required benefits is assessed in accordance with the advice of professional qualified actuaries. The net expense included in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The actuarial present value of the accumulated benefits at December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $2.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively.

The obligations which arise under these plans are not governed by any regulatory agency and there is no requirement to fund the obligations and accordingly the Company has not done so. Obligations which are payable to employees upon retirement or separation with the Company are paid from cash on hand at the time of retirement or separation in accordance with the terms of the respective plans.

The following sets forth the estimated cash payments required to be paid out to eligible employees for the next five years:


	(dollars in thousands)
2008	$	429

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amount of financial instruments including cash, cash equivalents, the majority of the accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable trade and other, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and notes payable to banks approximated fair value at December 31, 2007 and 2006 because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of debt and most notes receivable approximated fair value at December 31, 2007 and 2006 based upon the present value of estimated future cash flows. Derivative instruments are recorded at their estimated fair values at December 31, 2007 and 2006 in accordance with EITF 00-19 and FASB No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”.

Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company has carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its acting Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d- 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Acting Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, at December 31, 2007, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting and Management’s Remediation Initiatives

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the material weaknesses described below were remediated. At December 31, 2007, except for the changes in our internal control over financial reporting described below which were implemented to remediate the noted material weaknesses, there were no other changes in internal control that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

In connection with the completion of its audit of, and the issuance of an unqualified report on, the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Berenfeld, Spritzer, Shechter & Sheer, LLP(“BSS&S”), communicated to the Company’s management and Audit Committee that certain matters involving the Company’s internal controls were considered to be “material weaknesses”, as defined under the standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB. These matters pertained to (i) inadequate policies and procedures with respect to review and oversight of financial results to ensure that accurate consolidated financial statements were prepared and reviewed on a timely basis, (ii) inadequate number of individuals with U.S. GAAP experience and (iii) inadequate review of account reconciliations, analyses and journal entries.

In addition, in connection with the preparation of our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, management identified certain adjustments that were required to be recorded within the Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2007, June 30, 2007 and for the year ended December 31, 2006. The adjustments to our financial statements involved the identification, valuation and resulting accounting for embedded derivatives and warrants associated with our Preferred Stock. We have since restated the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, the Form 10Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and the Form 10Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. These documents have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our management believes that our failure to properly value and identify these adjustments indicates the existence of certain material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. We have fully remediated these weaknesses as a result of the following remediation actions:

•

Certain of the Company’s procedures have been formalized and documented with respect to review and oversight of financial reporting.

•

The Company has shortened the period between review cycles and continues to enhance certain mitigating controls which will provide additional analysis of financial reporting information.

•

The Company has implemented a financial reporting timeline and checklist process to assist in the timely gathering and review of financial information.

•

The Company has obtained the services of qualified individuals with appropriate U.S. GAAP experience.

•

The Company is integrating accounting staffs and systems between acquired subsidiaries to facilitate standardized financial accounting and reporting procedures.

•

The Company has implemented account reconciliation processes, and expanded senior management reviews and analyses, including the review of journal entries.

•

Establishment of more robust review process by senior management for high risk areas

•

Implementation of specific review procedures for the review and recording of derivative instruments.

•

Working closer with consultants in the identification and valuation of derivatives.

•

In March 2007, we retained independent consultants trained in accounting and financial reporting who are CPAs. One of our consultants was a former partner with a national public accounting firm and has experience with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

•

Hiring more staff with higher technical experience in the area of financial reporting and complex accounting issues.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007. This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our directors hold office until the next annual meeting of our shareholders or until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. Our officers are elected annually by our board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors. There are no arrangements or understandings with respect to the selection of officers or directors.

There are no family relationships between any of our directors and executive officers named above.

Information Regarding the Board of Directors and Committees of the Board of Directors and Other Corporate Governance Matters

We operate within a comprehensive plan of corporate governance for the purpose of defining responsibilities, setting high standards of professional and personal conduct and assuring compliance with such responsibilities and standards. We regularly monitor developments in the area of corporate governance. In July 2002, Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which, among other things, establishes, or provides the basis for, a number of corporate governance standards and disclosure requirements. In addition, Nasdaq has corporate governance and listing requirements which have been approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In response to these actions, our board of directors has initiated the below actions consistent with certain of the proposed rules.

Independent Directors

A majority of the members of our board of directors is independent according to the Nasdaq Corporate Governance rules. In particular, our board of directors has in the past evaluated, and our nominating committee will in the future evaluate, periodically the independence of each member of the board of directors.

The committee or board determines whether a director is independent by evaluating, among other factors, the following:

1.	Whether the member of the board of directors has any material relationship with us, either directly, or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us;

2.	Whether the member of the board of directors is a current employee of ours or was an employee of ours within three years preceding the date of determination;

Whether the member of the board of directors is, or in the three years preceding the date of determination has been, affiliated with or employed by (i) a current internal or external auditor of ours or any affiliate of such auditor or (ii) any former internal or external auditor of ours or any affiliate of such auditor, which performed services for us within three years preceding the date of determination;

Whether the member of the board of directors is, or in the three years preceding the date of determination has been, part of an interlocking directorate, in which an executive officer of ours serves on the compensation committee of another company that concurrently employs the member as an executive officer;

Whether the member of the board of directors, or any immediate family member of a director, receives any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from us, other than payments made in his or her capacity as a member of our board of directors, payments to an immediate family member who is an employee (other than an executive officer) of ours, benefits under a tax-qualified retirement plant or non-discretionary compensation;

Whether the member is an executive officer of ours or owns specified amounts of our securities — for purposes of this determination, a member will not lose his or her independent status due to levels of stock ownership as long as the member owns 10% or less of our voting securities or management determines that this member’s ownership above the 10% level does not affect his independence;

7.	Whether an immediate family member of the member of the board of directors is a current executive officer of ours or was an executive officer of ours within three years preceding the date of determination;

Whether an immediate family member of the member of the board of directors is, or in the three years preceding the date of determination has been, affiliated with or employed in a professional capacity by (i) a current internal or external auditor of ours or any affiliate of ours or (ii) any former internal or external auditor of ours or any affiliate of ours which performed services for it within three years preceding the date of determination; and

Whether an immediate family member of the member of the board of directors is, or in the three years preceding the date of determination has been, part of an interlocking directorate in which an executive officer of ours serves on the compensation committee of another company that concurrently employs the immediate family member of the member of the board of directors as an executive officer.

10.

Whether the member of the board of directors, or an immediate family member of the board of directors, is a partner in, or controlling shareholder or executive officer of, any organization to which we made or received from payments for property or services, in the current year or in the past three fiscal years, exceeding the greater of 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenues for that year or $200,000 with the exception of: (i) payments arising solely from investments in our securities; or (ii) payments under non-discretionary charitable contribution matching programs.

The above list is not exhaustive and the committee considers all other factors which could assist it in its determination that a director has no material relationship with us that could compromise that director’s independence.

As a result of this review, our board of directors affirmatively determined that W. Douglas Pitts, Gustavo R. Benejam, Per-Olof Lööf, Donald K. Karnes and Rodney Cunningham are independent of Devcon and our management under the standards set forth above. Donald L. Smith, Jr. and Richard L. Hornsby are considered inside directors because of their previous employment as our senior executives and because of transactions we’ve entered into with Donald L. Smith, Jr. See “Item 13 — Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”. Richard C. Rochon and Mario B. Ferrari are considered non-independent outside directors because of their relationship with Coconut Palm Capital Partners, Ltd., an entity that made an $18 million investment in the Company in July 2004 and received beneficial ownership of approximately 57.6% of the shares of our common stock on a fully-diluted as-converted basis as of such date (approximately 49.5% of the shares of our common stock on a fully-diluted as-converted basis, net of treasury shares, as of March 7, 2008) as a consequence. As a result of this analysis Messrs. Smith, Hornsby, Rochon and Ferrari are precluded from sitting on our audit committee.

Our non-management directors hold meetings separate from management, and intend to continue to hold such meetings at least once a year.

Directors’ Fees

We pay each of our directors an annual retainer for board service of $25,000, except for our former Chairman, Donald L. Smith, Jr., who was paid a $35,000 fee to compensate him for his service to the Company. Members of our audit committee receive an additional annual retainer of $1,000 in June, except for the chairman of that committee whose additional annual retainer equals $5,000. Compensation committee and nominating committee members receive an additional $1,000 annual retainer, except for the chairman of each of these committees who receives an additional $5,000 annual retainer. Non-employee directors also receive attendance fees in an amount equal to $1,000 per in-person or telephonic meeting attended by such directors. Amounts paid to our directors, including the chairmen of the committees of the board of directors, may be increased by action of the board.

A new non-employee director will be granted an option to purchase 8,000 shares of our common stock upon the commencement of service as a director from a stock option plan then in effect. In addition, each non-employee director will be granted options to purchase 5,000 shares of our common stock after each annual meeting. Options are granted at an exercise price equal to the closing market price on the grant date.

Board Meetings

During the year ended December 31, 2007, our board of directors held eleven meetings and took three actions by unanimous written consent. During 2007, except for Per-Olof Lööf, no incumbent director attended fewer than 75 percent of the aggregate of (i) the number of meetings of our board of directors held during the period he served on the board and (ii) the number of meetings of committees of the board held during the period he served on such committees. We have no formal policy regarding attendance by our directors at our annual shareholder meetings, although we encourage this attendance and most of our directors have historically attended these meetings. Except for Per-Olof Lööf, all of our directors attended the 2007 annual shareholder meeting. Our board of directors has three standing committees—the audit committee, the compensation committee and the nominating committee.

Audit Committee

Our audit committee is comprised of three non-employee members of our board of directors. After reviewing the qualifications of the current members of our audit committee, and any relationships they may have with our company that might affect their independence from Devcon, our board of directors has determined that:

(1)

all current committee members are “independent” as that concept is defined in the applicable rules of Nasdaq and the Securities and Exchange Commission,

(2)

all current committee members are financially literate, and

(3)

Mr. Gustavo R. Benejam qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In making the determination as to Mr. Benejam’s status as an audit committee financial expert, our board of directors determined he has accounting and related financial management expertise within the meaning of the aforementioned rules as well as the listing standards of Nasdaq.

Messrs. Pitts, Lööf and Benejam are members of our audit committee. The audit committee held seven meetings during 2007. The duties and responsibilities of the Company’s audit committee include: (a) monitoring the integrity of our financial reporting process and systems of internal controls regarding finance, accounting, legal and regulatory compliance, (b) monitoring the independence and performance of our independent registered public accounting firm and our internal audit functions, (c) providing an avenue of communication between our independent registered public accounting firm and management and (d) having the sole authority to appoint, determine funding for and oversee our external auditors. The audit committee is governed by a charter which we

believe conforms to the corporate governance rules issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission and Nasdaq concerning audit committees. This charter is available on our website at www.devc.com . A copy of this charter may be obtained for no cost upon request from our Corporate Secretary. The information contained in our internet website is not incorporated into this annual report.

Berenfeld, Spritzer, Shechter & Sheer, LLP or BSS&S, our independent registered public accounting firm, reports directly to the audit committee. Any allowable work to be performed by BSS&S outside of the scope of the regular audit is pre-approved by the audit committee. The audit committee will not approve any work to be performed that is in violation to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The audit committee, consistent with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules adopted thereunder, meets with management and our independent registered public accounting firm prior to the filing of officers’ certifications with the SEC to receive information concerning, among other things, significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls.

The audit committee has, through the Code of Ethical Conduct, enabled confidential and anonymous reporting of improper activities directly to the audit committee.

Compensation Committee

Messrs. Pitts, Lööf and Karnes are members of our compensation committee. The compensation committee held one meeting and took two actions by unanimous written consent during 2007. This committee administers the 1992 and 1999 stock option plans and our new 2006 incentive compensation plan and has the power and authority to (a) determine the persons to be awarded options and the terms thereof and (b) construe and interpret the 1992 and 1999 stock option plans and the new 2006 incentive compensation plan. This committee is also responsible for the final review and determination of executive compensation.

All members of the compensation committee are considered independent under Nasdaq’s independence rules. This committee is governed by a charter which is available on our website at www.devc.com . A copy of this charter may be obtained for no cost upon request from our Corporate Secretary. The information contained in our internet website is not incorporated into this annual report.

Nominating Committee and Procedures

Messrs. Benejam, Cunningham and Karnes are the members of our nominating committee. The nominating committee held no meetings during 2007. The purpose of this committee is to define the basic responsibilities and qualifications of individuals nominated and elected to serve as members of our board of directors, to identify and nominate individuals qualified to become directors in accordance with these policies and guidelines and to oversee the selection and composition of committees of our board of directors. The nominating committee is governed by a charter adopted by Devcon’s board of directors. This charter is available on our website at www.devc.com .

The nominating committee considers candidates for board membership suggested by its members and other board members, as well as management and shareholders. This committee also has the sole authority to retain and to terminate any search firm to be used to assist in identifying candidates to serve as trustees from time to time. A shareholder who wishes to recommend a prospective nominee for the board should notify in writing our Corporate Secretary or any member of our nominating committee, including in such correspondence whatever supporting material the shareholder considers appropriate. The nominating committee also considers whether to nominate any person nominated by a shareholder under the provisions of our bylaws relating to shareholder nominations as described in the section entitled “Information Concerning Shareholder Proposals” in our proxy statement. The nominating committee does not solicit director nominations.

Once the nominating committee has identified a prospective nominee, the committee makes an initial determination as to whether to conduct a full evaluation of the candidate. This initial determination is based on the information provided to the committee with the recommendation of the prospective candidate, as well as the committee’s own knowledge of the prospective candidate, which may be supplemented by inquiries to the person making the recommendation or others. The preliminary determination is based primarily on the need for additional board members to fill vacancies or expand the size of our board and the likelihood that the prospective nominee can satisfy the evaluation factors described below. If the committee determines, in consultation with the Chairman of the Board and other board members as appropriate, that additional consideration is warranted, it may request a third-party search firm to gather additional information about the prospective nominee’s background and experience and to report its findings to the committee. The committee then evaluates the prospective nominee against the standards and qualifications set out by the nominating committee for board membership.

The committee will also consider other relevant factors as it deems appropriate, including the current composition of the board, the balance of management and independent trustees, the need for audit committee expertise and the evaluations of other prospective nominees. In connection with this evaluation, the committee will determine whether to interview the prospective nominee, and if warranted, one or more members of the committee, and others as appropriate, will interview prospective nominees in person or by telephone. After completing this evaluation and interview, the committee will make a recommendation to the full board as to the persons who should be nominated by the board, and the board will determine the nominees after considering the recommendation and report of the committee.

While there are no formal procedures for shareholders to recommend nominations beyond those set forth in the section entitled “Information Concerning Shareholder Proposals” in our proxy statement, Devcon’s board of directors will consider shareholder recommendations. These recommendations should be addressed to the Chairman of our nominating committee who will submit for review these nominations to the independent members of the board of directors.

All members of our nominating committee are considered independent under Nasdaq’s independence rules. This committee is governed by a charter which is available on our website at www.devc.com . A copy of this charter may be obtained for no cost upon request from Devcon’s Corporate Secretary. The information contained in our internet website is not incorporated into this annual report.

Code of Ethical Conduct

We have adopted a Code of Ethical Conduct that includes provisions ranging from restrictions on gifts to conflicts of interest. All employees are bound by this Code of Ethical Conduct, violations of which may be reported to the audit committee. The Code of Ethical Conduct includes provisions applicable to our senior executive officers, consistent with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This Code of Ethical Conduct is available on our website www.devc.com . Management intends to post on the website amendments to or waivers from our Code of Ethical Conduct. We will provide a copy of this Code of Ethical Conduct to any person without charge upon written request made by such person addressed to Devcon’s Corporate Secretary at Devcon International Corp., 595 S. Federal Highway, Suite 500, Boca Raton, Florida, 33432.

Personal Loans to Executive Officers and Directors

We comply with, and will operate in a manner consistent with, legislation prohibiting extensions of credit in the form of a personal loan to or for our directors and executive officers. For information on arrangements currently have in place, see “Item 13— Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”.

Communications with Shareholders

Anyone who has a concern about Devcon’s or its employees’ conduct, including accounting, internal accounting controls or audit matters, may communicate directly with the Chairman of our board of directors, our non-management directors or the audit committee. Such communications may be confidential or anonymous, and may be e-mailed, submitted in writing or reported by phone to special addresses and a toll-free phone number published on our website at www.devc.com . All such concerns will be forwarded to the appropriate directors for their review, and will be simultaneously reviewed and addressed by our Chief Financial Officer in the same way that other concerns are addressed by management. Our Code of Ethical Conduct prohibits any employee from retaliating or taking any adverse action against anyone for raising or helping to resolve an integrity concern.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10 percent of our common stock, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock. Officers, directors and greater than 10 percent shareholders are required by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission to furnish to us copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

To management’s knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of these reports furnished and representations that no other reports were required, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to the Company’s officers, directors and greater than 10 percent beneficial owners were in compliance, with the exception of W. Douglas Pitts who failed to timely file one Form 4 disclosing one transaction, which failure resulted from software problems.

Item 11.

Executive Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The following Compensation Discussion and Analysis, or CD&A, describes the material elements of compensation for the Devcon executive officers identified in the Summary Compensation Table. We refer to these officers as the named executive officers. As more fully described in this CD&A, the Compensation Committee of the Board, or the committee, makes all decisions for the total direct compensation—that is, the base salary, bonus awards, stock options and other equity compensation—of our executive officers, including the named executive officers with the exception of our Acting Chief Executive Officer and our President. The committee’s recommendations for the total direct compensation of our Chief Executive Officer are subject to approval of the Board of Directors. Our Acting Chief Executive Officer and our President are principals in Royal Palm Capital Partners and are not currently paid a base salary by Devcon. Instead, they derive compensation from the payments made under the management agreement with Royal Palm Capital Partners. See “New Executive Officers; Royal Palm Management Agreement” below.

The day-to-day design and administration of savings, health, welfare and paid time-off plans and policies applicable to salaried U.S.-based employees in general are handled by teams of our Human Resource and Finance employees. The committee (or Board) remains responsible for certain fundamental changes outside the day-to-day requirements necessary to maintain these plans and policies.

Devcon’s Business Environment

We are a leading regional provider of electronic security alarm monitoring services, including monitoring of burglary, fire, medical, environmental, video and CCTV, and security access systems to residential, both single and multi-family homes, financial institutions, industrial and commercial businesses and complexes, warehouses, facilities of government departments and healthcare and educational facilities. We also have wholesale customers, where we monitor security systems on behalf of independent security companies. We believe the electronic security systems monitoring industry presents an attractive opportunity for predictable recurring revenues. Our electronic security services business operates primarily in the state of Florida and in the New York City metropolitan area.

We were incorporated in Florida in 1951 as Zinke-Smith, Inc. and adopted our present name in October 1971. Our stock has been publicly traded on the Nasdaq Global Market System since March 1972. Until 2004, our construction and materials operations were our primary operations. As previously discussed, however, between 2002 and 2004, our management engaged in a review of strategic alternatives to enter into new lines of business that had a prospect of providing predictable, recurring revenue. In April 2005, we began a process of reviewing in detail the operations of our materials and construction businesses, which were incurring operating losses. This strategic review and shift in operational focus resulted in a series of acquisitions and divestitures which together allowed us to pursue our objective of divesting ourselves of our construction and materials operations and becoming a large regional provider of electronic security services. These acquisitions and divestitures are described in detail elsewhere in this annual report.

Compensation Program Objectives and Rewards

Devcon’s compensation and benefits programs are driven by Devcon’s business environment and are designed to enable us to achieve our strategic goals. The programs’ objectives are to:

•

Reflect Devcon’s position as an emerging leader in the Southeast and New York metro area for providing electronic security services;

•

Enable Devcon to fulfill its strategic goals of becoming a “pure play” electronic security services company with the orderly divestiture of its construction and materials operations, as well as the completion of acquisitions sufficient to create a platform on which Devcon may build its electronic security services operation;

•

Grow this platform organically by leveraging the customer relationships obtained via these various acquisitions;

•

Ensure Devcon has ready access to the capital markets and other financing avenues to obtain funds to implement its strategic planning;

•

Attract, engage and retain the workforce to promote growth and ensure our future success;

•

Motivate and inspire employee behavior that fosters a high-performance culture;

•

Support a one-company culture as well as a lean and flexible business model;

•

Support overall business objectives; and

•

Create a management structure that creates the best opportunity to provide shareholders with a superior rate of return.

Consequently, the guiding principles of our programs are:

•

Enabling a high-performance organization;

•

Competitiveness in the marketplace in which we compete for talent;

•

Optimization of cost to our company and value to employees; and

•

Company-wide consistency with business-driven flexibility.

To this end, we will measure success of our programs by:

•

Overall business performance and employee engagement;

•

Ability to attract and retain key talent;

•

Costs and business risks that are limited to levels that optimize risk and return; and

•

Employee understanding and perceptions that ensure program value equals or exceeds program cost.

All of Devcon’s compensation and benefits for its named executive officers described below have as a primary purpose our need to attract, retain and motivate the highly talented individuals who will engage in the behaviors necessary to enable us to implement and accomplish each of the strategic goals described above while upholding our values in a highly competitive marketplace. Beyond that, different elements are designed to engender different behaviors.

•

Base salary and benefits are designed to attract and retain employees over time.

•

Long-Term Incentives—stock options and other equity compensation under our shareholder-approved incentive compensation plans—focus executives’ efforts on the behaviors within the recipients’ control that they believe are necessary to ensure our long-term success, as reflected in increases to our stock prices, growth in our earnings per share and other elements.

•

Annual cash bonuses, which are individually designed to address business needs related to attracting and retaining employees and to provide incentives to achieve the short-term goals our management and board of directors establish for the one year period in question.

•

Severance and change in control provisions are designed to facilitate our ability to attract and retain executives as we compete for talented employees in a marketplace where such protections are commonly offered.

The Elements of Devcon’s Compensation Program

With the exception of our Acting Chief Executive Officer and our President, each of the named executive officers was party to an employment agreement with our company (except Mr. Hare, who was subject to an employment offer letter), which set forth the base salary for the respective named executive officer, subject to adjustment by the committee and the Board. The agreements stipulated an annual base salary with merit increases and bonuses as determined by the committee. The initial base salary under each of these employment agreements was based upon determinations representing multiple factors, including to some extent in certain cases:

the base salary being earned by the executive at their last place of employ;

salaries paid to executives at comparable companies;

individual negotiations between the company and the executive; and

appropriate adjustments made to take into account the growing nature of our company.

Base Salary

Executive officer base salaries are based on job responsibilities and individual contribution, with reference to base salary levels of executives at comparable companies, based upon a combination of both size/market capitalization, geographical location and industry.

Base salaries for individual executive officers are informally compared by our compensation committee to various companies within the electronic security services industry, as well as companies of similar size/market capitalization and growth strategies as those currently being employed by Devcon. These peer groups were based on the committee’s general knowledge of the industry and other companies of similar size/market capitalization to our company as well as guidance from certain other advisors. No independent consulting firm was retained to conduct these reviews. Given the level of our executive officers’ compensation, our compensation committee did not believe that it was necessary to incur the expense of formal studies or market analysis. In general, we target base salaries for executive officers, including our chief executive officer, at the 50 ^th percentile compared to the peer companies we examined.

With the exception of our Acting Chief Executive Officer and our President, the committee determines base salaries for other executive officers, including the named executive officers, towards the end of every year. Our acting chief executive officer proposes new base salary amounts based on:

•

his evaluation of individual performance and expected future contributions;

•

job level, individual performance and overall company performance (including our historic and projected performance, sales, earnings, financial condition and return on equity and economic conditions);

•

a review of the survey data discussed above to ensure competitive compensation against the external market generally defined as the peer companies;

•

our chief executive officer’s own knowledge of the electronic security services industry ; and

•

comparison of the base salaries of the executive officers who report directly to the chief executive officer to ensure internal equity.

Base salaries paid to executive officers are deductible for federal income tax purposes except to the extent that the executive is a covered employee under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code—generally, the named executive officers from year to year—the executive’s aggregate compensation which is subject to Section 162(m) exceeds $1 million. No employee received base salary in excess of $1 million in 2007.

Base salary and bonus payments are the only elements of compensation that are used in determining the amount of contributions permitted under our 401(k) Plan.

Bonus Awards

In the first quarter of 2007, we paid each of Messrs. Ruzika, Hare and Lakey certain severance or consulting payments in connection with their separation from the Company. In addition, in the first quarter of 2008, we paid Mr. Schiller certain separation payments in connection with his separation from the Company. See “Separation, Consulting and Change in Control Arrangements” below. These payments were negotiated amounts determined by management to be necessary to retain certain covenants (e.g., noncompete, nonsolicit, nondisparagement, confidentiality, etc.) and to help obtain releases from liability and obligations that management felt were useful to helping Devcon continue the pace of its growth efforts. In addition, each agreement contained an agreement from the executive to continue to provide certain consulting services to Devcon for a period after termination of the executive’s employment. We believe these consulting arrangements will allow for a smoother transition, providing less disruption to Devcon’s main focus and the achievement of its strategic goals.

Long-Term Incentive Plan

Our 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan provides for the granting of long-term incentive awards; however, to date, we have not granted any such long-term incentive awards. The committee continues to examine the desirability of implementing such a plan to more appropriately align the interests of our executive officers with our long-term success.

Stock Options

In December 2005, we approved, and recommended to our board of directors for adoption, the Devcon International Corp. 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan which provides for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock, other stock-related awards and performance awards that may be settled in cash, stock or other property. In September 2006, the Devcon International Corp. 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan was approved by our shareholders. We adopted this new equity compensation plan for two reasons: a) no awards were available for grant under our previously adopted equity compensation plans and b) we believed the wide variety of awards authorized under this new plan gave us greater flexibility in terms of how to structure our employees’ compensation allowing for a greater tailoring of compensation to our company’s and the individual employee’s situation. In addition, our board of directors felt equity incentives were particularly important at this stage of Devcon’s growth given its recent entry into a completely new industry and its need for dedicated employees who possessed the knowledge and experience within the electronic security services industry to ensure Devcon’s success in it.

Stock options provide for financial gain derived from the potential appreciation in stock price from the date that the option is granted until the date that the option is exercised. The exercise price of stock option grants is set at fair market value on grant date. Under our shareholder-approved equity compensation plans, we may not grant stock options at a discount to fair market value or reduce the exercise price of outstanding stock options, except in the case of a stock split or other similar event. We do not grant stock options with a so-called “reload” feature, nor do we generally loan funds to employees to enable them to exercise stock options. Our long-term performance ultimately determines the value of stock options, because gains from stock option exercises are entirely dependent on the long-term appreciation of our stock price. The stock options granted by the committee are generally exercisable in equal installments on the first through third anniversaries of the grant date and expire ten years from the grant date.

Because a financial gain from stock options is only possible after the price of Devcon common stock has increased, we believe grants encourage executives and other employees to focus on behaviors and initiatives that should lead to an increase in the price of Devcon common stock, which benefits all Devcon shareholders.

No Backdating or Spring Loading: Devcon does not backdate options or grant options retroactively. On February 23, 2007, June 25, 2007, June 29, 2007, October 4, 2007 and October 11, 2007, we granted options to purchase an aggregate of 215,000 shares of our common stock to various directors, officers, employees and advisors, which options were made at the fair market value on the grant date. In addition, we do not plan to coordinate grants of options so that they are made before announcement of favorable information, or after announcement of unfavorable information. Devcon’s options are granted at fair market value on a fixed date or event, with all required approvals obtained in advance of or on the actual grant date. All grants to executive officers require the approval of the committee. The timing of such grants is at the discretion of the committee; however, traditionally, initial grants of options occur at the date of initial employment.

Fair market value has been consistently determined as the closing price on the grant date. In order to ensure that its exercise price fairly reflects all material information—without regard to whether the information seems positive or negative—every grant of options is contingent upon a determination by the committee that Devcon is not in possession of material undisclosed information. If we are in possession of such information, grants are suspended until the second business day after public dissemination of the information.

Grants are generally made to the named executive officers as part of an annual process. In October, 2007, annual grants of options described in the Summary Compensation Table were made by the committee to the named executive officers. The stock option grants were immediately vested and expire in ten years from the grant date.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

Although we encourage members of our senior management to hold positions in our common stock, we do not currently have requirements in place to this effect. Notwithstanding the lack of requirements, as disclosed in this annual report, our Acting Chief Executive Officer, Richard C. Rochon, beneficially owns, via direct ownership and control over RPCP Investments LLLP, 83,333 shares of our common stock (863,999 shares when taking into account immediately exercisable warrants and options which are beneficially held by Mr. Rochon and RPCP), further aligning his interests with those of our shareholders. See “New Executive Officers; Royal Palm Management Agreement” below.

Derivatives Trading. We grant stock-based incentives in order to align the interests of Devcon’s employees with those of its shareholders. Accordingly, we strongly discourage executive officers from buying or selling derivative securities related to Devcon common stock such as puts or calls on Devcon common stock since such securities may diminish the alignment that we are trying to foster. Company-issued options are not transferable during the executive’s life, other than certain gifts to family members (or trusts, partnerships, etc. that benefit family members).

Return of Incentive Compensation by an Executive . The committee has not adopted formal policies to address the possibility that incentive compensation may be provided to certain executives, including named executive officers, based on financial results that may become the subject of a significant restatement. We anticipate, in the case of a significant restatement of financial results caused by executive fraud or willful misconduct, the Board will require the return of such incentive compensation in accordance with and to the extent required by applicable law.

Benefits

With the exception of our Acting Chief Executive Officer and our President who are not employees of Devcon and are therefore not eligible to participate, as salaried, U.S.-based employees, the named executive officers participate in a variety of retirement, health and welfare, and paid time-off benefits designed to enable us to attract and retain our workforce in a competitive marketplace. Health and welfare and paid time-off benefits help ensure that we have a productive and focused workforce through reliable and competitive health and other benefits. Savings plans help employees, especially long-service employees, save and prepare financially for retirement.

Devcon’s qualified 401(k) Plans allow highly compensated employees to contribute up to 60 percent of their compensation (base salary plus bonus payments), up to the limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code—$15,500 for 2007 (excluding any Catch-Up contributions, as allowed by the Internal Revenue Code)—on a pre-tax basis. We provide matching contributions between three percent and four percent of employee contributions, which vest over a five year period. Participants choose to invest their account balances from an array of investment options as selected by plan fiduciaries from time to time. The 401(k) Plans are designed to provide for distributions in a lump sum or in periodic installments after termination of service. However, loans—and in-service distributions under certain circumstances such as a hardship, attainment of age 59 1/2 or a disability—are permitted.

We do not currently have in place any form of pension plan in which any of our executive officers participate.

Perquisites

Given its status as an emerging player within its industry and the necessity of carefully marshaling cash flows to achieve its strategic goals, Devcon generally provides only a very limited slate of perquisites to its senior management employees, including the named executive officers. To the extent offered by Devcon, the primary purpose of perquisites is our desire to minimize distractions from the executives’ attention to important Devcon initiatives. An item is not a perquisite if it is integrally and directly related to the performance of the executive’s duties. An item is a perquisite if it confers a direct or indirect benefit that has a personal aspect, without regard to whether it may be provided for some business reason or for the convenience of our company, unless it is generally available on a non-discriminatory basis to all employees. Certain perquisites have been in place for many years and generally were not reviewed by members of this committee.

We provided the following perquisites during 2007, all of which are quantified in the Summary Compensation Table:

•

Automobile allowances are provided to certain senior management. The total monthly expense incurred with respect to the associated lease payments or other allowance is a function of the executive’s position within our company and can include payments for the automobile, insurance and gas. For leases, we calculate the executive’s personal use value of the automobile and include that portion of the total in the executive’s reportable taxable compensation. The taxable compensation is then grossed up to cover the executive’s taxes on such amount. In other situations, we provide a direct allowance to the executive through our normal payroll cycles. All of the allowance is included in the executive’s taxable compensation. We believe that this benefit allows executives to devote additional time to Devcon’s business.

We do not generally provide the named executive officers with other perquisites such as reimbursement for legal, counseling for personal matters or tax reimbursement payments. We do not provide loans to executive officers.

Separation, Consulting and Change in Control Arrangements

The named executive officers may be eligible for certain benefits and payments if employment terminates under certain circumstances, as described under “Employment Agreements” below.

Severance Benefits . From time to time, we may terminate employment due to reorganization or a reduction in our workforce and, in such circumstances, we may consider payment of severance. Any such payment is entirely discretionary on our part and would be accompanied by a general release from the separated employees. As we consider it likely that it will take more time for higher-level employees to find new employment, and therefore senior management generally are paid severance. Such severance may provide an amount measured by previous annual bonuses to recognize the separated employee’s efforts undertaken during the time he or she was employed by us. It also may provide different levels of protection from a health and welfare benefit perspective, taking into account a person’s age and service, and also whether or not he or she is then eligible to retire. Additional payments may be permitted in some circumstances as a result of negotiations with executives, especially where we desire particular nondisparagement, cooperation with litigation, noncompetition and nonsolicitation terms and releases.

For example, as previously disclosed and discussed below, on January 22, 2007, Mr. Ruzika resigned from his position as our Chief Executive Officer. On January 26, 2007, we entered into an Advisory Services Agreement with Mr. Ruzika, which became effective on January 22, 2007, and outlined the terms of his separation as well as a consulting arrangement under which Mr. Ruzika would remain involved with us in an advisory capacity. Under the terms of this Advisory Services Agreement, effective as of January 22, 2007, the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, dated as of June 7, 2004, by and between Mr. Ruzika and Devcon terminated and Mr. Ruzika resigned all of his positions as an officer of Devcon and as an officer and director, as applicable, of each of Devcon’s affiliates. Mr. Ruzika will be paid salary earned and reasonable expenses reimbursable under the Employment Agreement incurred through January 22, 2007, which amounts equaled $38,667.38 and an amount equal to $10,416.67 per month for a term of one year under the Advisory Services Agreement. In addition, to the extent permitted under our welfare benefit plans, Mr. Ruzika will remain a participant until the Advisory Services Agreement terminates. At the end of such term, the Advisory Services Agreement shall be automatically renewed on a month to month basis unless terminated by either us or Mr. Ruzika upon sixty (60) days notice. The Advisory Services Agreement includes a release by each of us and Mr. Ruzika of claims that either party may have against the other in respect of Mr. Ruzika’s employment or the termination of such employment, as well as covenants relating to non-competition or non-solicitation of employees by Mr. Ruzika, protection of our proprietary and confidential information, non-disparagement by each of Mr. Ruzika and Devcon and other matters. We incurred charges of $114,583.37 in connection with the Advisory Services Agreement in 2007. The Advisory Services Agreement was not renewed and expired on its anniversary.

Also, as previously disclosed and discussed below, on February 9, 2007, Mr. Hare resigned from all positions held by him with us and our subsidiaries, including as Chief Financial Officer of Devcon. On February 14, 2007, we entered into a Separation Agreement with Mr. Hare outlining the terms of his separation from Devcon as well as a consulting arrangement pursuant to which Mr. Hare would be available to us in a consulting capacity. Under the terms of the Separation Agreement, the Employment Letter issued as of November 28, 2005 to Mr. Hare by Devcon terminated, effective as of February 9, 2007, and Mr. Hare resigned all of his positions as an officer of ours and as an officer and director, as applicable, of each of our affiliates. Under the terms of the Separation Agreement, Mr. Hare will be paid salary earned and reasonable expenses reimbursable under the Employment Letter incurred through February 14, 2007, which amounts equaled $36,541.18 and an aggregate amount equal to $100,000 payable in installments the timing of which shall be monthly over a six month period. The Separation Agreement includes a release by each of Devcon and Mr. Hare of claims that either party may have against the other in respect of Mr. Hare’s employment or the termination of such employment, as well as covenants relating to non-competition or non-solicitation of employees by Mr. Hare, protection of our proprietary and confidential information, non-disparagement by Mr. Hare and other matters. We incurred charges of $136,541.18 in connection with the Separation Agreement in 2007.

Also, as previously disclosed and discussed below, on January 16, 2008, Mr. Schiller resigned from all positions held by him with us and our subsidiaries, including as Chief Financial Officer of Devcon. On January 30, 2008, we entered into a Separation

Agreement with Mr. Schiller outlining the terms of his separation from Devcon as well as a consulting arrangement pursuant to which Mr. Schiller would be available to us in a consulting capacity. Under the terms of the Separation Agreement, Mr. Schiller’s employment with Devcon terminated, effective as of January 30, 2008, and Mr. Schiller resigned all of his positions as an officer of ours and as an officer and director, as applicable, of each of our affiliates. Under the terms of the Separation Agreement, Mr. Schiller will be paid salary earned and reasonable expenses reimbursable incurred through January 30, 2008, which amounts we estimated equaled $16,357.46 and an aggregate amount equal to $31,576.92 payable in installments the timing of which shall be biweekly over a two month period. The Separation Agreement includes a release by Mr. Schiller of claims that he may have against the company in respect of Mr. Schillers’ employment or the termination of such employment, as well as covenants relating to non-competition or non-solicitation of employees by Mr. Schiller, protection of our proprietary and confidential information, non-disparagement by Mr. Schiller and other matters. We anticipate taking a charge of $31,576.92 in connection with the Separation Agreement in the first quarter of 2008.

In June 2000, we entered into an amended Life Insurance and Salary Continuation Agreement with Donald L. Smith, Jr., our former Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. Mr. Smith will receive a retirement benefit upon the sooner of his retirement from his position after March 31, 2003, or a change in control of Devcon. Benefits to be received will equal 75 percent of his base salary and will continue for the remainder of his life. In the event that a spouse survives him, then the surviving spouse will receive a benefit equal to 100 percent of his base salary for the shorter of five years or the remainder of the surviving spouse’s life. Mr. Donald L. Smith, Jr. retired in 2005 and we recognized in 2005 the net present value of the retirement obligation based on Mr. Smith’s then current salary of $338,400 per annum. During 2007, Mr. Smith received $256,303 in retirement payments under this agreement.

Change in Control . The employment agreements to which the named executive officers are party generally have change of control severance provisions. These provisions represent the Board’s recognition of the importance to Devcon and its shareholders of avoiding the distraction and loss of key management personnel that may occur in connection with rumored or actual fundamental corporate changes. We believe properly crafted change in control provisions protect shareholder interests by enhancing employee focus during rumored or actual change in control activity through:

•

Incentives to remain with company despite uncertainties while a transaction is under consideration or pending;

•

Assurance of severance and benefits for terminated employees; and

•

Access to equity components of total compensation after a change in control.

Devcon’s stock options generally vest upon a change in control. The remainder of benefits generally requires a change in control, followed by a termination of an executive’s employment. In adopting the so-called “single” trigger treatment for equity vehicles, we were guided by three principles:

•

Be consistent with current market practice among peers . Most if not all of the peer companies we evaluated had change in control protection providing for single trigger equity vesting.

•

Keep employees relatively whole for a reasonable period but avoid creating a “windfall.”

•

Single trigger vesting ensures that ongoing employees are treated the same as terminated employees with respect to outstanding equity grants.

•

Single trigger vesting provides employees with the same opportunities as shareholders, who are free to sell their equity at the time of the change in control event and thereby realize the value created at the time of the deal.

•

The company that made the original equity grant will no longer exist after a change in control and employees should not be required to have the fate of their outstanding equity tied to the new company’s future success.

•

Single trigger vesting on performance-contingent equity, in particular, is appropriate given the difficulty of replicating the underlying performance goals.

•

Support the compelling business need to retain key employees during uncertain times .

•

A single trigger on equity vesting can be a powerful retention device during change in control discussions, especially for more senior executives where equity represents a significant portion of their total pay package. A double trigger on equity provides no certainty of what will happen when the transaction closes.

Mr. Ruzika’s employment agreement provided that, if we terminated the agreement (which includes failing to renew the agreement after its initial three year term) without cause, Mr. Ruzika terminated the agreement with cause or Mr. Ruzika failed to renew the agreement, we were required to pay Mr. Ruzika severance payments at the rate of his salary in effect on the date of termination for two years, payable in accordance with our usual payroll schedule. If Mr. Ruzika terminated his employment with us within one year of a change in control with cause, he would be entitled to the two years of severance payments described above. However, no transaction would be considered to be a change in control for purposes of triggering these severance obligations if the transaction in question involved the security services industry or if procured by Mr. Ruzika, Richard C. Rochon, Mario B. Ferrari, Coconut Palm Capital Partners, Ltd. or any affiliate of theirs.

Mr. Lakey’s employment agreement provided that, if within one year of a change of control, Mr. Lakey’s employment was terminated by us without cause or Mr. Lakey terminated his employment voluntarily, he would receive a lump sum payment equal to the sum of his current annual base salary and his average bonus and other average compensation during the last two years. The Employment Agreement defines a “Change of Control” as (i) our selling or transferring substantially all of our assets or (ii) any consolidation or merger or other business combination involving us where our shareholders would not, immediately after such business combination, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, shares representing fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the surviving entity.

Mr. Godsey’s employment agreement with one of our subsidiaries provides that, if we terminate the agreement (which includes failing to renew the agreement after its initial three year term) without cause, Mr. Godsey terminates the agreement with cause or Mr. Godsey fails to renew the agreement, we are required to pay Mr. Godsey severance payments at the rate of his salary in effect on the date of termination for one year, payable in accordance with our usual payroll schedule. If Mr. Godsey terminates his employment with us within one year of a change in control with cause, he would be entitled to the one year of severance payments described above. However, no transaction would be considered to be a change in control for purposes of triggering these severance obligations if the transaction in question involved the security services industry or if procured by Mr. Ruzika, Richard C. Rochon, Mario B. Ferrari, Coconut Palm Capital Partners, Ltd. or any affiliate of theirs.

Mr. Schiller’s employment agreement with one of our subsidiaries provided that, if within three months of a change of control, Mr. Schiller’s employment was terminated by us without cause or Mr. Schiller terminated his employment voluntarily, he would receive a lump sum payment equal to his current base salary. The Employment Agreement defines a “Change of Control” as (i) our selling or transferring substantially all of our assets or (ii) any consolidation or merger or other business combination involving us where our shareholders would not, immediately after such business combination, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, shares representing fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the surviving entity.

Mr. McIntosh’s employment agreement with one of our subsidiaries provides that, if within three months of a change of control, Mr. McIntosh’s employment is terminated by us without cause or Mr. McIntosh terminates his employment voluntarily, he would receive a lump sum payment equal to his current base salary. The Employment Agreement defines a “Change in Control” as (i) our selling or transferring substantially all of our assets or (ii) any consolidation or merger or other business combination involving us where our shareholders would not, immediately after such business combination, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, shares representing fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the surviving entity.

With the exception of Mr. Godsey’s and Mr. McIntosh’s agreements, none of these employment agreements are in effect any longer because, as described above and below, Mr. Ruzika resigned from his position with Devcon., Mr. Lakey’s employment agreement expired by its own terms on January 31, 2007, and Mr. Schiller resigned from his position with Devcon.

We agreed to provide gross-ups for the named executive officers from any taxes due under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code. The effects of Section 4999 generally are unpredictable and can have widely divergent and unexpected effects based on an executive’s personal compensation history. Therefore, to provide an equal level of benefit across individuals without regard to the effect of the excise tax, we determined that 4999 gross up payments were appropriate for our most senior level executives.

New Executive Officers; Royal Palm Management Agreement

As previously disclosed, on January 22, 2007, Stephen J. Ruzika resigned from his position as our chief executive officer. On January 22, 2007, our Board of Directors appointed Richard C. Rochon, our Chairman of the Board, to the position of Acting Chief Executive Officer. As Acting Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Rochon is expected to conduct Devcon’s business in a manner commensurate with the position of Chief Executive Officer in accordance with our Bylaws. Mr. Rochon has been our Chairman since January 24, 2006 and a director of ours since 2004. Mr. Rochon is currently Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Royal Palm Capital Partners, a private investment and management firm and a principal of Royal Palm Capital Management, LLLP, an affiliate of Royal Palm Capital Partners. We had previously entered into a Management Services Agreement with Royal Palm Capital Management on August 12, 2005 pursuant to the terms of which Royal Palm Capital Management would provide us with certain management services. Royal Palm Capital Management is an affiliate of Coconut Palm Capital Investors I Ltd. with whom we completed a transaction on July 31, 2004, whereby Coconut Palm invested $18 million in our company for the purpose of our entrance into the electronic security services industry. Mario Ferrari, one of our other directors, is also a principal of Coconut Palm and Royal Palm.

Also, as previously disclosed, on February 9, 2007, George M. Hare resigned from all positions held by him with us and our subsidiaries, including as our Chief Financial Officer. On February 13, 2007, our Board of Directors appointed Robert C. Farenhem, a principal of Royal Palm Capital Management to the position of our Chief Financial Officer.

On April 30, 2007, our Board of Directors appointed Mr. Farenhem to the position of our President. Also on April 30, 2007, our Board of Directors appointed Mr. Schiller to the position of our Chief Financial Officer.

As previously disclosed, on January 16, 2008, Mr. Schiller resigned from all positions held by him with us and our subsidiaries, including as Chief Financial Officer of Devcon. On January 23, 2008, our Board of Directors appointed Mark M. McIntosh to the position of our Chief Financial Officer.

Except for the Management Services Agreement with Royal Palm Capital Management described above, neither Mr. Farenhem nor Mr. Rochon have employment, severance or any other type of agreement with Devcon. Mr. Rochon and Mr. Farenhem do not currently collect a salary in connection with their roles as Acting Chief Executive Officer and President.

Employment Agreements

In June 2000, we entered into an amended Life Insurance and Salary Continuation Agreement with Donald L. Smith, Jr., our former Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. Mr. Smith will receive a retirement benefit upon the sooner of his retirement from his position after March 31, 2003, or a change in control of Devcon. Benefits to be received will equal 75 percent of his base salary and will continue for the remainder of his life. In the event that a spouse survives him, then the surviving spouse will receive a benefit equal to 100 percent of his base salary for the shorter of five years or the remainder of the surviving spouse’s life. Mr. Donald L. Smith, Jr. retired in 2005 and we recognized the net present value of the retirement obligation based on Mr. Smith’s then current salary of $338,400 per annum. During 2007, Mr. Smith received $256,303 in retirement payments under this agreement.

In June 2004, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Stephen J. Ruzika, effective April 2, 2004. Under the terms of Mr. Ruzika’s employment agreement, we agreed to pay Mr. Ruzika an annual salary equal to $325,000 plus any bonuses which the compensation committee of our board of directors determined to pay him in its sole discretion. In addition to this salary, Mr. Ruzika was entitled to participate in any bonus plan, incentive compensation program or incentive stock option plan or other employee benefits we provided to our other similarly situated executives, on the terms and at the level of participation determined by our compensation committee. In addition, Mr. Ruzika was granted 50,000 options with an exercise price of $9.00 per share upon the effectiveness of the employment agreement. Any options granted under these plans vested in equal annual installments from the grant date until the expiration date under the employment agreement. The employment agreement had a term of three years; however, this term could be extended by the parties in writing in a separate instrument. Either Mr. Ruzika or our company could terminate the employment agreement for any reason upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to the other. However, if we terminated the agreement (which includes failing to renew the agreement after the initial three years) without cause, Mr. Ruzika terminated the agreement with cause or Mr. Ruzika failed to renew the agreement, we were required to pay Mr. Ruzika severance payments at the rate of his salary in effect on the date of termination for two years, payable in accordance with our usual payroll schedule. In the event of specified changes in control of us, all options previously granted to Mr. Ruzika would automatically vest and if Mr. Ruzika terminated his employment with us within one year of this change in control with cause, he would be entitled to the two years of severance payments described above. However, no transaction would be considered to be a change in control for purposes of triggering these severance obligations if the transaction in question involved the security services industry or if procured by Mr. Ruzika, Richard C. Rochon, Mario B. Ferrari, Coconut Palm Capital Partners, Ltd. or any affiliate of theirs. Mr. Ruzika was also subject to a three-year

noncompete covenant to the extent his employment is terminated (including not renewing his employment agreement) in a manner that does not entitle him to the severance payments described above. Mr. Ruzika was also subject to a two-year noncompete covenant to the extent his employment is terminated (including not renewing his employment agreement) in a manner that does entitle him to the severance payments described above; however, if we fail to make these severance payments, Mr. Ruzika’s noncompete obligations will no longer be in effect.

On January 22, 2007, Mr. Ruzika resigned from his position as our Chief Executive Officer. On January 26, 2007, we entered into an Advisory Services Agreement with Mr. Ruzika, which became effective on January 22, 2007, and outlined the terms of his separation from us as well as a consulting arrangement pursuant to which Mr. Ruzika would remain involved with us in an advisory capacity. Under the terms of the Advisory Services Agreement, effective as of January 22, 2007, Mr. Ruzika’s employment agreement with us terminated and Mr. Ruzika resigned all of his positions as an officer of Devcon and as an officer and director, as applicable, of each of our affiliates. Mr. Ruzika will be paid salary earned and reasonable expenses reimbursable under his employment agreement incurred through January 22, 2007, which amounts we estimate equal $38,667.38 and an amount equal to $10,416.67 per month for a term of one year under the Advisory Services Agreement. In addition, to the extent permitted under our welfare benefit plans, Mr. Ruzika will remain a participant until the Advisory Services Agreement terminates. At the end of this term, the Advisory Services Agreement shall be automatically renewed on a month to month basis unless terminated by either us or Mr. Ruzika upon sixty (60) days notice. The Separation Agreement includes a release by each of us and Mr. Ruzika of claims that either party may have against the other in respect of Mr. Ruzika’s employment or the termination of such employment, as well as covenants relating to non-competition or non-solicitation of employees by Mr. Ruzika, protection of our proprietary and confidential information, non-disparagement by each of Mr. Ruzika and us and other matters.

On February 9, 2007, Mr. Hare resigned from all positions held by him with us and our subsidiaries, including as Chief Financial Officer. On February 14, 2007, we entered into a Separation Agreement with Mr. Hare outlining the terms of his separation from us as well as a consulting arrangement under the terms of which Mr. Hare would be available to us in a consulting capacity. Under the terms of the Separation Agreement, the Employment Letter issued as of November 28, 2005 to Mr. Hare by us terminated, effective as of February 9, 2007, and Mr. Hare resigned all of his positions as an officer of Devcon and as an officer and director, as applicable, of each of our affiliates. Under the terms of the Separation Agreement, Mr. Hare will be paid salary earned and reasonable expenses reimbursable under the Employment Letter incurred through February 14, 2007, which amounts equaled $36,541.58 and an aggregate amount equal to $100,000 payable in installments the timing of which shall be monthly over a six month period. The Separation Agreement includes a release by each of Devcon and Mr. Hare of claims that either party may have against the other in respect of Mr. Hare’s employment or the termination of such employment, as well as covenants relating to non-competition or non-solicitation of employees by Mr. Hare, protection of our proprietary and confidential information, non-disparagement by Mr. Hare and other matters. We incurred charges of $136,541.58 in connection with the Separation Agreement in 2007.

On January 27, 2005, we entered into an employment agreement with Ron G. Lakey under the terms of which Mr. Lakey would become our Chief Financial Officer. On April 13, 2005, Mr. Lakey became our Vice President – Business Development. On January 23, 2006, Mr. Lakey became our President of Construction and Materials. The Lakey Employment Agreement was effective on February 1, 2005 and provides for a term of two years, which term may be automatically renewed each year unless three months advance notice of nonrenewal is given. In addition, the Lakey Employment Agreement provided for an annual base salary of $200,000, discretionary bonuses to be determined at the discretion of our compensation committee, participation by Mr. Lakey in all benefit programs made available to other executive officers and eligibility for grants of options in accordance with our stock option plans. If within one year of a change of control, Mr. Lakey’s employment would have been terminated by us without cause or Mr. Lakey terminated his employment voluntarily, he would have received a lump sum payment equal to the sum of his current annual base salary and his average bonus and other average compensation during the last two years, and his stock options will immediately vest. The Lakey Employment Agreement defined a “Change of Control” as (i) our selling or transferring substantially all of our assets or (ii) any consolidation or merger or other business combination involving us where our shareholders would not, immediately after such business combination, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, shares representing fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the surviving entity. The Employment Agreement also included covenants lasting for a term of two years relating to noncompetition and non-solicitation of employees and clients by Mr. Lakey. The Lakey Employment Agreement expired according to its own terms on January 31, 2007.

On April 27, 2007, Mr. Lakey resigned from his position as our Chief Operating Officer and President—Construction and Materials. On April 27, 2007, we entered into an Advisory Services Agreement with Mr. Lakey, which became effective on such date, and outlined the terms of his separation from us as well as a consulting arrangement pursuant to which Mr. Lakey would remain involved with us in an advisory capacity. Under the terms of the Advisory Services Agreement, Mr. Lakey resigned all of his positions as an officer of Devcon and as an officer and director, as applicable, of each of our affiliates. Mr. Lakey will be paid salary, automobile insurance and accrued vacation earned in the amounts of $4,134.62, $150.00 and $13,230.77, respectively, and reasonable expenses reimbursable under his employment agreement incurred through April 27, 2007, which amounts we estimate equal $355. In addition, in return for the Advisory Services, the Advisory Services Agreement provides that we will pay Mr. Lakey the following amounts:

(i) a one-time $50,000 lump sum payment paid at the time of execution of the Advisory Services Agreement;

(ii) during an initial three-month term of the Advisory Services Agreement, we are obligated to pay Mr. Lakey monthly payments equal to $17,916.66;

(iii) during 30-day renewal terms of the Advisory Services Agreement, we will be obligated to pay Mr. Lakey monthly payments equal to $6,000.00; and

(iv) upon transfer of a 8,335 square meter parcel in Sint Maarten from Bouwbedrijf Boven Winden, N.V. to St. Maarten Masonry Products, both of which are our wholly-owned subsidiaries of ours, we will be obligated to pay to Mr. Lakey an additional one-time $50,000 lump sum payment.

At the end of the initial three-month term, the Advisory Services Agreement renewed on a month to month basis until its termination on October 16, 2007. The Advisory Services Agreement includes a release by each of us and Mr. Lakey of claims that either party may have against the other in respect of Mr. Lakey’s employment or the termination of such employment, as well as covenants relating to protection of our proprietary and confidential information, non-disparagement by each of Mr. Lakey and us and other matters.

On October 19, 2006, we entered into an employment agreement with J. Keith Godsey. Under the terms of Mr. Godsey’s employment agreement, we agreed to pay Mr. Godsey an annual salary equal to $207,000 plus any bonuses which the compensation committee of our board of directors determined to pay him in its sole discretion. In addition to this salary, Mr. Godsey is entitled to participate in any bonus plan, incentive compensation program or incentive stock option plan or other employee benefits we provided to our other similarly situated executives, on the terms and at the level of participation determined by our compensation committee. In addition, Mr. Godsey was granted 20,000 options with an exercise price of $5.51 per share in November, 2006. These options vest in equal annual installments from the grant date over a three year period. The employment agreement has a term of three years; however, this term could be extended by the parties in writing in a separate instrument. Either Mr. Godsey or our company can terminate the employment agreement for any reason upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to the other. However, if we terminate the agreement (which includes failing to renew the agreement after the initial three years) without cause, Mr. Godsey terminates the agreement with cause or Mr. Godsey fails to renew the agreement, we are required to pay Mr. Godsey severance payments at the rate of his salary in effect on the date of termination for one year, payable in accordance with our usual payroll schedule. In the event of specified changes in control of us, all options previously granted to Mr. Godsey would automatically vest and if Mr. Godsey terminated his employment with us within one year of this change in control with cause, he would be entitled to the one year of severance payments described above. However, no transaction would be considered to be a change in control for purposes of triggering these severance obligations if the transaction in question involved the security services industry or if procured by Mr. Ruzika, Richard C. Rochon, Mario B. Ferrari, Coconut Palm Capital Partners, Ltd. or any affiliate of theirs. Mr. Godsey is also subject to a two-year non-compete covenant to the extent his employment is terminated (including not renewing his employment agreement) in a manner that does not entitle him to the severance payments described above. Mr. Godsey is also subject to a one-year non-compete covenant to the extent his employment is terminated (including not renewing his employment agreement) in a manner that does entitle him to the severance payments described above; however, if we fail to make these severance payments, Mr. Godsey’s non-compete obligations will no longer be in effect.

As previously disclosed, on February 13, 2007, we entered into an employment agreement with Robert W. Schiller as our Vice President of Finance. Under the terms of Mr. Schiller’s employment agreement, we agreed to pay Mr. Schiller an annual salary equal to $175,000 (later amended to $200,000 upon his appointment by our board of directors to the position of our Chief Financial Officer) plus any bonuses which the compensation committee of our board of directors determined to pay him in its sole discretion. In addition to this salary, Mr. Schiller was entitled to participate in any bonus plan, incentive compensation program or incentive stock option plan or other employee benefits we provided to our other similarly situated executives, on the terms and at the level of participation determined by our compensation committee. In addition, Mr. Schiller was granted 15,000 options with an exercise price of $4.15 per share upon the effectiveness of the employment agreement. Upon his appointment to the position of our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Schiller was granted a further 10,000 options with an exercise price of $3.10 per share. Any options granted under these plans vested in equal annual installments over a three year period from the date of initial option grant issuance. The employment agreement had no termination date as Mr. Schiller was an “at will” employee. However, in the event of specified changes in control of us, all options previously granted to Mr. Schiller would automatically vest and if Mr. Schiller terminated his employment with us within one year of this change in control with cause, he would be entitled to a lump sum severance payment equal to one year’s salary.

On January 16, 2008, Mr. Schiller resigned from his position as our Chief Financial Officer. On January 30, 2008, we entered into a Separation Agreement with Mr. Schiller outlining the terms of his separation from Devcon as well as a consulting arrangement pursuant to which Mr. Schiller would be available to us in a consulting capacity. Under the terms of the Separation Agreement, Mr. Schiller’s employment with Devcon terminated, effective as of January 30, 2008, and Mr. Schiller resigned all of his positions as an officer of ours and as an officer and director, as applicable, of each of our affiliates.

The Separation Agreement includes a release by Mr. Schiller of claims that he may have against the company in respect of Mr. Schillers’ employment or the termination of such employment, as well as covenants relating to non-competition or non-solicitation of employees by Mr. Schiller, protection of our proprietary and confidential information, non-disparagement by Mr. Schiller and other matters.

On February 11, 2008, we entered into an employment agreement with Mark M. McIntosh as our Chief Financial Officer. Under the terms of Mr. McIntosh’s employment agreement, we agree to pay Mr. McIntosh an annual salary equal to $200,000 plus any bonuses which the compensation committee of our board of directors determine to pay him in its sole discretion. In addition to this salary, Mr. McIntosh is entitled to participate in any bonus plan, incentive compensation program or incentive stock option plan or other employee benefits we provide to our other similarly situated executives, on the terms and at the level of participation determined by our compensation committee. In addition, Mr. McIntosh was granted 15,000 options with an exercise price of $2.57 per share upon the effectiveness of the employment agreement. Any options granted under these plans vest in equal annual installments over a three year period from the date of initial option grant issuance.

However, in the event of specified changes in control of us, all options previously granted to Mr. McIntosh would automatically vest and if Mr. McIntosh terminates his employment with us within one year of this change in control with cause, he would be entitled to a lump sum severance payment equal to one year’s salary.

Stock Option Plan

On September 22, 2006, our board of directors adopted the Devcon International Corp. 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan, which was approved by our shareholders on November 10, 2006. This plan is the only plan under which we currently issue stock options. Under this plan, our compensation committee has the authority to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock, other stock-related awards and performance awards that may be settled in cash, stock or other property to key employees, directors, consultants and independent. The effective date of this plan was September 22, 2006. As of March 31, 2007, options to purchase an aggregate of 346,500 shares of our common stock were outstanding under this plan, and options to purchase an aggregate of 59,700 shares of our common stock were outstanding under our other stock option plans.

Shares Available for Awards; Annual Per-Person Limitations. Under the 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan, the total number of shares of common stock that may be subject to the granting of options under the plan at any time during the term of the plan is equal to 800,000 shares, plus the number of shares with respect to which awards previously granted thereunder that terminate without being exercised, and the number of shares that are surrendered in payment of any awards or any tax withholding requirements. The total number of shares of our common stock that may be granted under the 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan represents approximately 13.2% of the issued and outstanding shares, on a fully diluted, fully converted basis as of March 7, 2008.

Of the total number set forth above, not more than 400,000 may be used for awards under the 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan other than stock options or stock appreciation rights. Awards with respect to shares that are granted to replace outstanding awards or other similar rights that are assumed or replaced by awards under the 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan pursuant to the acquisition of a business are not subject to, and do not count against, the foregoing limit. In addition, the 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan imposes individual limitations on the amount of certain awards in part to comply with Code Section 162(m). Under these limitations, during any fiscal year no participant may be granted (i) options or stock appreciation rights with respect to more than 200,000 shares, or (ii) shares of restricted stock, shares of deferred stock, performance shares and other stock based-awards with respect to more than 200,000 shares, subject to adjustment in some circumstances. The maximum amount that may be earned by any one participant as a performance unit in respect of a performance period of one year is $1,500,000 and the maximum amount that may be earned by one participant as a performance unit in respect of a performance period greater than one year is $1,500,000 multiplied by the number of full years in the performance period.

Our compensation committee administers the 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan. The compensation committee is authorized to adjust the limitations described in the two preceding paragraphs and is authorized to adjust outstanding awards (including adjustments to exercise prices of options and other affected terms of awards) in the event that a dividend or other distribution (whether in cash, shares of our common stock or other property), recapitalization, forward or reverse split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase, share exchange or other similar corporate transaction or event affects our common stock so that an

adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of participants. The compensation committee is also authorized to adjust performance conditions and other terms of awards in response to these kinds of events or in response to changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles.

Our compensation committee is authorized to select eligible persons to receive awards, determine the type and number of awards to be granted and the number of shares of our common stock to which awards will relate, specify times at which awards will be exercisable or settleable (including performance conditions that may be required as a condition thereof), set other terms and conditions of awards, prescribe forms of award agreements, interpret and specify rules and regulations relating to the 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan and make all other determinations that may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan.

Eligibility. The persons eligible to receive awards under the 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan are our officers, directors, employees, consultants and other persons who provide services to us or any related entities. An employee on leave of absence may be considered as still in our employ or in the employ of a related entity for purposes of eligibility for participation in the 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan. As of March 7, 2008, approximately 690 persons are eligible to participate in the plan.

On April 1, 1999, our board of directors adopted the Devcon International Corp. 1999 Stock Option Plan, which was approved by our shareholders on June 10, 1999. The 1999 Stock Option Plan was subsequently amended by our board of directors on April 21, 2003, which amendment was approved by our shareholders on June 6, 2003. Under this plan, our compensation committee had the authority to grant incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to key employees, directors, consultants and independent contractors and these options may be exercised using loans from us or shares of our common stock that are already owned by the holder. The effective date of this plan was April 1, 1999. As of March 7, 2008, options to purchase an aggregate of 54,000 shares of our common stock were outstanding under this plan. The 1999 Stock Option Plan has been superseded by the 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan.

Voting Arrangements

Coconut Palm Voting Arrangements

On April 4, 2005, one of the Company’s shareholders, Coconut Palm Capital Partners I, Ltd., distributed an aggregate of 396,674 shares of the Company’s common stock plus warrants to purchase 396,674 additional shares of common stock to certain of its limited partners in exchange for the redemption of their respective limited partnership interests. In accordance with Coconut Palm’s limited partnership agreement, Coconut Palm’s limited partners who had requested redemption paid to Coconut Palm an aggregate of $1,000.00 for legal fees incurred by Coconut Palm in connection with the redemption of the limited partnership interests. Coconut Palm’s limited partners include Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Inc., CSS Group, Inc., RPCP Investments, LLLP, as well as Messrs. Ruzika, Rochon, Ferrari and Karnes. Messrs. Rochon and Ferrari also are officers and directors of Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Inc. Mr. Ruzika is an officer and director of CSS Group, Inc. None of the above named limited partners were involved in the first distribution. In connection with the first distribution of shares, Coconut Palm’s limited partners who had been deemed granted to Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Inc. a proxy to vote, in its sole discretion, a significant portion of the securities owned by the limited partners at any meeting of Devcon’s shareholders as well as in any action by written consent of Devcon’s shareholders.

On April 14, 2005, Coconut Palm distributed an aggregate of 19,992 shares of the Company’s common stock plus warrants to purchase 19,992 additional shares of common stock to its limited partners in exchange for the redemption of their respective limited partnership interests. In accordance with Coconut Palm’s limited partnership agreement, Coconut Palm’s limited partners who had requested redemption paid to Coconut Palm an aggregate of $250.00 for legal fees incurred by Coconut Palm in connection with the redemption of the limited partnership interests. Similar to the first distribution of shares, in connection with the second distribution of shares, Coconut Palm’s limited partners who had been deemed granted to Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Inc. a proxy to vote, in its sole discretion, a significant portion of the securities owned by the limited partners at any meeting of Devcon’s shareholders, as well as in any action by written consent of Devcon’s shareholders.

On June 28, 2005, Coconut Palm distributed 1,583,334 shares of the Company’s common stock plus warrants to purchase 3,583,334 additional shares of common stock to its limited partners in exchange for the redemption of their respective limited partnership interests. This third distribution represented all of the remaining common stock and warrants held by Coconut Palm. No payment was made by the limited partners to Coconut Palm in connection with the third distribution of shares. Coconut Palm’s limited partners who had been redeemed did, however, grant to Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Inc. a proxy to vote, in its sole discretion, a significant portion of the securities owned by the limited partners at any meeting of Devcon’s shareholders as well as in any action by written consent of Devcon’s shareholders.

Arrangements Possibly Resulting in a Change in Control

Upon exercise of the unexpired warrants it holds, Coconut Palm Capital Partners I, Ltd. would beneficially own but not own of record 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock giving it beneficial ownership of approximately 49.5% of Devcon’s common stock outstanding as of March 7, 2008. Accordingly, if Coconut Palm were to exercise its warrants, it would have enough shares of our common stock to control our company.

The terms of the Preferred Stock and the warrants issued in connection with their issuance limit the number of shares that may be issued in the aggregate upon conversion or exercise of these securities to 9.99% of our outstanding common stock. However, should this limitation not apply, upon such conversion or exercise, HBK would own 5,852,830 shares of our common stock or 39.1%on a fully-diluted as converted basis, net of treasury shares held by the Company. In addition, under the terms of the governing Certificate of Designations, we may issue additional shares of our common stock in satisfaction of our dividend obligations with respect to the Preferred Stock. Accordingly, if HBK were to convert its shares of Preferred Stock and exercise its warrants without application of the aforementioned limitations and we issued a sufficient number of additional shares in satisfaction of our dividend obligations, HBK could acquire enough shares of our common stock to control our company.

Tax Fees		—		—
All Other Fees		—		—

Total Fees	$	504,400	$	520,600

⁽¹⁾

Audit fees consist principally of the audit of the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K and the review of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. The 2007 audit fee includes a $200,000 estimate to complete.

⁽²⁾	Audit-related fees include review of the Company’s 8-K filings and proxy statement and SEC comment letters and responses.

All audit-related services, tax services and other services were pre-approved by the audit committee, which concluded that the provision of these services by BSS&S was compatible with the maintenance of the firms’ independence in the conduct of auditing functions. The audit committee’s charter provides the audit committee with authority to pre-approve all audit and allowable non-audit services to be provided to the Company by its external auditors.

In its performance of these responsibilities, prior approval of some non-audit services is not required if:

(i)

these services involve no more than 5% of the revenues paid by the Company to the auditors during the fiscal year;

(ii)

these services were not recognized by the Company to be non-audit services at the time of the audit engagement, and

(iii)

these services are promptly brought to the attention of the audit committee and are approved by the audit committee prior to completion of the audit for that fiscal year.

The audit committee is permitted to delegate the responsibility to pre-approve audit and non-audit services to one or more members of the audit committee as long as any decision made by that member or those members is presented to the full audit committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

The audit committee annually reviews the performance of its independent registered public accounting firm and the fees charged for its services.

The audit committee of the Company’s board of directors has considered whether the provision of the above-described services is compatible with maintaining BSS&S’s independence and believes the provision of such services is not incompatible with maintaining this independence.
