Flawless balance sheet with solid track record
NSSC delivered a bottom-line expansion of 57% in the prior year, with its most recent earnings level surpassing its average level over the last five years. Not only did NSSC outperformed its past performance, its growth also exceeded the Electronic industry expansion, which generated a 40% earnings growth. This is what investors like to see! NSSC is financially robust, with ample cash on hand and short-term investments to meet upcoming liabilities. This implies that NSSC manages its cash and cost levels well, which is a key determinant of the company’s health. Looking at NSSC’s capital structure, the company has no debt on its balance sheet. This means it is running its business only on equity capital funding, which is typically normal for a small-cap company. Therefore the company has plenty of headroom to grow, and the ability to raise debt should it need to in the future.

2018 Annual Report
Corporate Presentation
The ability of the educational administrative community to
secure adequate, objective advice and counsel on how to address the mass
shooting crisis, from the current configuration of the security industry, has
been compromised by several factors. First of all, there has been a large
duplication of effort, with thousands of school districts across the country
acting locally in trying to secure knowledge and expertise in security.
Additionally, there is no single certified body of specialized, education
sector security professionals in existence, that can be assured in supplying
education officials with objective, accurate, unbiased and above all, cost-effective
guidance in ameliorating the mass shooting threat at their schools. Finally,
there is no universally accepted process for auditing a school facility for
security vulnerability and no quantitative measurement tool to be utilized in
conducting that audit. This paper outlines the need for a national school
security association or body to be created, as well as the unification of the
security industry, in creating a comprehensive process and clearing house for
expertise to be constructively applied to the school active shooter problem.
