TROUBLED TIMES FUEL GROWTH AT SECURITY FIRM Investors Business Daily 7-31-02 Fear and anger are making a comeback after a decade of being kicked around by wealth and prosperity. The threat of terrorism has done a lot of folks on edge. So do corporate scandals, economic woes and tanking stock markets. For most companies it makes for a dreary picture. But for security firms it means blues skies and black ink. Kroll, Inc is one of them. It's a risk consulting company that specializes in security services, including business intelligence, and investigations, forensic accounting and employee background checks. --- Kroll's business segments: Investigations/intelligence data recovery forensic accounting litigation support asset searching due diligence employee background checks executive screening disability claims integrity drug testing vendor screening surveillance computer forensics architectural security consulting/crisis management travel and political risk executive protection information security --- KROL earned 14 cents a share in Q2, vs a 25-cent loss a year ago. That beat views by a penny. But the stock fell after the company incorrectly stated 2nd half sales forecasts. KROL sees sales up 41-47% to $152-159 mil.
