NKL Edge Software Released

Released: 12-9-02
NKL Edge software, Version 1.0 has been released to assist in generating on-demand reporting from
NKL cash management systems. The software allows the exporting of data from NKL master-slave
controllers to generate exceptions reporting and related financial tracking of operations at
multiple locations. It is designed to work with NKL Auditlok XLV money manager which is exclusive
to the NKL cash handling product line. The new software runs on all Windows operating systems,
including Windows 95, 98, 2000 and XP.

“NKL Edge software makes it so easy to generate financial reports on the fly. We export the data
into Microsoft Access and can show immediately where exceptions have occurred. This makes my job
much easier as I can audit or track transactions on demand and I can look at the company’s history
at specific locations and probe further into their daily financials,” said Senior Manager Sue
Simons of SODEXHO.

Raw data can be formatted for presentation in Microsoft Access for corporate reports. Reports
direct from NKL Edge software can be seen with ease on the PC and printed on standard-size paper.
Basic reporting with NKL Edge software includes enrolled user reports, operator reports, cash
reports, buy change receipts, load receipts report, audit reports, partial deposit reports, past
end of day reports and void reports. There are more than 100 event filters and some can be set for
duress activation. Autocalls for key data can be set up system wide to automate the reporting
process or manual calls can be made into system data at will.

For administrators, NKL Edge PLUS software addresses the need for restoring accounting defaults,
setting up door delays, finding or reassigning PINs, and restoring store defaults through
administrator level security options.

NKL Edge software retails for under $500 per individual user for small businesses. Site licenses
are available for corporations that have multiple locations. Companies who have purchased the
software for internal trials to date include SODEXHO, and Kaiser Permanente.

The software can be activated through direct cable hookups, via modems. Or through a network
interface card. Each safe gets an IP address per device by region. For example, in a four store
franchise, there would be four NKL cash handling systems with AuditLok XLV running in the four
stores. The software can be used at the corporate headquarters and can pull data from each of the
four store NKL systems twenty-four hours a day/seven days a week.

“The NKL Edge software options will impress CEOs and CFOs looking at their cash in various
operations. Employee theft concerns and old-fashioned errors are reviewed and financial decisions
can be made within the work day. No more waiting for month-end numbers. With this software you
know exactly what was removed after the door was opened and when,” said Mike Smith, NKL’s Vice
President of Research and Development. The NKL Edge PLUS software connects instantly into safes
for total programming and key master authority.

“We believe an NKL system and software install pays for itself in the fast food franchise or
similar retail establishment in less than six months,” he added.

NKL is a brand of the FKI Security Group, (formerly Fire King International) based in New Albany.

FKI Forms Locksmith Council

Released: 12-9-02

FKI Security Group (formerly Fire King International) has formed its first FKI Security Locksmith
Council to advise the company on overall industry demand, trends, and product development, among
other priorities, laying groundwork for an expanded Service Partner Network. Council members have
agreed to serve a two-year term and participate in several regular meetings designed to track
market needs, particularly in the areas of product innovation, customer service and technical
support on all product lines, including Meilink® safes, Gary® safes, and NKL® cash handling
systems.

The six-member locksmith council will look to enhance and refine procedural approaches to repair,
technical support tips, peer-to-peer expertise, and pricing guidelines for the company’s Service
Partner Network.

“We are looking to these key industry players for their personal knowledge of what will assist
them best in their everyday duties of servicing our client base. They hear customer feedback,
understand what drives product development, and can offer a hands-on approach to technical
support,” said David Goffinet, VP of Operations for FKI Security Group.

Today’s security environment calls for educations regarding technology, members agreed in their
first organized meeting on November 13, 2002 at FKI Security Group. FKI Security Group now offers
software solutions for backend reporting; 24/7 audit trails; and even biometrics, placing emphasis
on the new categories of smart safes and cash management systems. FKI Security Group will focus on
combination security and surveillance in 2003, Goffinet said to the attendees of the Council’s
first official meeting. “The ultimate question for the end user remains, ‘How much are you willing
to lose?’ In many restaurants, the ice cream machine gets more attention than the security
components. FKI Security Group is one of the best brands in providing the end user with simplified
systems that deliver intelligence,” said Council member Jim Curry, CEO of Mobile Lock in Chicago,
IL.

Other appointed members of the FKI Security Group Locksmith Council include: John McErlean,
Freedom Locksmiths, NY, NY; Gary Hardigee, Georgia Safe and Lock, Central Georgia; Debbie Barker,
Kenton Brothers, Kansas City, MO; Joe Jacob, Arapahoe/Clark County, Aurora, CO; and Dave
Diederich, Diederich Security, Southern California.

FKI Security Group (formerly Fire King International) has been committed to loss prevention since
its beginning in 1951 as a manufacturer of high-quality fireproof files. After acquiring Meilink
in 1991 and Gary Safe Company and NKL Industries in 1999, FKI Security Group evolved from records
protection into a broad-based security company. The company is recognized as one of the premier
security and loss prevention companies in the nation.
