PROSPECTUS
SUMMARY
The
Company
We
were
formed as a blank check company under the name “Argyle Security Acquisition
Corporation” to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or
other similar business combination with an operating business in the security
industry. On January 24, 2006, we completed an initial public offering of our
securities.
On
December 8, 2006, Argyle, its wholly owned subsidiary ISI Security Group, Inc.
and ISI Detention Contracting Group, Inc., or ISI, entered into a merger
agreement pursuant to which Merger Subsidiary would merge into ISI, and ISI
would then become the wholly owned subsidiary of Argyle. ISI is a provider
of
physical security solutions to commercial, governmental, and correctional
customers. On July 30, 2007, our stockholders voted to approve the merger,
the
merger was consummated and we changed our name from “Argyle Security Acquisition
Corporation” to Argyle Security, Inc. , Holders of 232,565 shares issued in our
initial public offering elected to have their shares redeemed.
On
July
31, 2007, Argyle’s wholly owned subsidiary merged into ISI and ISI became a
wholly owned subsidiary of Argyle. Pursuant to terms of the merger agreement,
the security holders of ISI received an aggregate amount of cash of $18,600,000,
1,180,000 shares of our common stock (valued at approximately $9,180,000, based
on the closing price of the common stock on June 25, 2007) and unsecured
promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $1,925,000 convertible into our
common stock at a conversion price of $10 per share.
In
addition, the merger consideration paid by the Company also included (i) payment
of $1.9 million to an entity created by two executive officers of ISI in
connection with the issuance of performance and payment bonds to ISI; and (ii)
approximately $1.0 million in ISI transaction costs. The Company also paid
$.24
million in success fees to certain service providers in connection with the
merger and approximately $.45 million to a service provider, which payment
was
contingent on the business combination being consummated.
The
Company also assumed approximately $6.0 million of long-term debt, approximately
$7.6 million outstanding pursuant to a $9.0 million line of credit, and $2.0
million of capitalized leases as of July 31, 2007.
A
summary
of our business and operations, including the business and operations of ISI,
is
included in our definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on July 13, 2007
which is incorporated herein by reference, and our Current Report on Form 8-K
filed with the SEC on August 6, 2007, which is also incorporated herein by
reference.
Our
principal executive offices are located at 200 Concord Plaza, Suite 700 San
Antonio, Texas 78216. The telephone number at our executive office is (210)
828-1700. Our operating subsidiary maintains a website at www.isidet.com. The

CAUTIONARY
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We
believe that some of the information in this prospectus constitutes
forward-looking statements within the definition of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. However, the safe-harbor provisions of that
act
do not apply to statements made in this prospectus. You can identify these
statements by forward-looking words such as "may," "expect," "anticipate,"
"contemplate," "believe," "estimate," "intends," and "continue" or similar
words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because
they discuss future expectations, contain projections of future results of
operations or financial condition or state other "forward-looking" information.
We
believe it is important to communicate our expectations to our security holders.
However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to predict
accurately or over which we have no control. The risk factors and cautionary
language discussed in this prospectus provide examples of risks, uncertainties
and events that may cause actual results to differ materially from the
expectations described by us in such forward-looking statements, including
among
other things:
|
Ÿ
|
outcomes
of government reviews, inquiries, investigations and related litigation;
|
|
Ÿ
|
continued
compliance with government regulations;
|
|
Ÿ
|
legislation
or regulatory environments, requirements or changes adversely affecting
the business in which we are engaged;
|
|
Ÿ
|
fluctuations
in client demand;
|
|
Ÿ
|
management
of rapid growth;
|
|
Ÿ
|
general
economic conditions;
|
|
Ÿ
|
our
business strategy and plans; and
|
|
Ÿ
|
the
results of future financing
efforts.
|
You
are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements,
which
speak only as of the date of this prospectus.
All
forward-looking statements included herein attributable to us are expressly
qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred
to in this section. Except to the extent required by applicable laws and
regulations, we do not undertake any obligation to update these forward-looking
statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this prospectus
or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
RISK
FACTORS
A
discussion of the risk factors relating to an investment in us is included
in
our proxy statement filed with the Commission on July 13, 2007, which is
incorporated herein by reference. You should carefully consider the risk factors
discussed in the proxy statement, together with all of the other information
included in this prospectus, before you decide whether to exercise your
warrants.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
Assuming
the exercise of the underwriters’ unit purchase option and all the warrants, we
will receive gross proceeds of $23,031,503. We intend to use the proceeds from
the exercise of the warrants for working capital, operating expenses and other
general corporate purposes. If we have indebtedness at the time the warrants
are
exercised, we may also use proceeds to repay indebtedness. We may also use
the
proceeds to acquire other companies. There is no assurance that the holders
of
the unit purchase option or the warrants will elect to exercise any or all
of
the unit purchase option or the warrants.
DETERMINATION
OF OFFERING PRICE
The
offering price of the shares of common stock offered hereby is determined by
reference to the exercise price of the applicable security. The exercise price
of the 3,887,546 warrants (including the warrants underlying the underwriters’
unit purchase option) is $5.50 per share and the exercise price of the unit
purchase option is $8.80. Each offering price was determined at the time of
the
initial public offering.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
Pursuant
to the terms of the warrants, shares of common stock will be distributed to
those warrant holders who surrender the certificates representing the warrants
and provide payment of the exercise price through their brokers to our warrant
agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 59 Maiden Lane, New York,
New York 10038. We do not know if or when the warrants will be exercised. We
also do not know whether any of the shares acquired upon exercise will be
sold.

INDEMNIFICATION
Our
certificate of incorporation provides that the Company, to the full extent
permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended
from time to time, shall indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant
thereto. It further provides that expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred
by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative,
or
investigative action, suit or proceeding for which such officer or director
may
be entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be paid by the Company in advance
of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of
an
undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount
if
it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified
by
the Company as authorized thereby.
Our
bylaws provide the Company with the power to indemnify its officers, directors,
employees and agents or any person serving at the Company’s request as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware
law.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933
may
be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed that
in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification
is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore
unenforceable.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Our
amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that all directors,
officers, employees and agents of the registrant shall be entitled to be
indemnified by us to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law.
Section
145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law concerning indemnification of
officers, directors, employees and agents is set forth below.
“Section
145. Indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents;
insurance.
(a)
A
corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party
or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the
fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if
the
person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to
be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect
to
any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the
person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding
by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere
or
its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person
did
not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed
to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect
to
any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the
person’s conduct was unlawful.
(b)
A
corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party
or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action
or
suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor
by
reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee
or
agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the
defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith
and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall
be
made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall
have
been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent
that
the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought
shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability
but
in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery
or such other court shall deem proper.
(c)
To
the
extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this section, or in defense
of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such
person in connection therewith.
(d)
Any
indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of this section (unless ordered
by
a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific
case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former
director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because
the
person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections
(a)
and (b) of this section. Such determination shall be made, with respect to
a
person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (1)
by a
majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or
proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) by a committee of such
directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than
a
quorum, or (3) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct,
by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the
stockholders.
(e)
Expenses
(including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding
may
be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action,
suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such
director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined
that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as
authorized in this section. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred
by former directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid
upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems
appropriate.
(f)
The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant
to,
the other subsections of this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any
other
rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may
be
entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and
as to action in another capacity while holding such office.
(g)
A
corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of
any
person who is or was director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation,
or
is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
or
other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred
by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as
such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such
person against such liability under this section.
(h)
For
purposes of this section, references to “the corporation” shall include, in
addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including
any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which,
if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority
to
indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person
who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position
under
this section with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such
person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate
existence had continued.
(i)
For
purposes of this section, references to “other enterprises” shall include
employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes
assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and references
to “serving at the request of the corporation” shall include any service as a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties
on,
or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect
to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person
who
acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in
the
interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan
shall
be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation” as referred to in this section.
(j)
The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant
to,
this section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified,
continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee
or
agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators
of such a person.
(k)
The
Court
of Chancery is hereby vested with exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine
all actions for advancement of expenses or indemnification brought under this
section or under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors, or otherwise. The Court of Chancery may summarily determine a
corporation’s obligation to advance expenses (including attorneys’
fees).”
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion
of
the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in a successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer
or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to the court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.
Paragraph
B of Article Eighth of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation
provides:
“The
Corporation, to the full extent permitted by Section 145 of the GCL, as amended
from time to time, shall indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant
thereto. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director
in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action,
suit
or proceeding for which such officer or director may be entitled to
indemnification hereunder shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the
final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount
if
it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified
by
the Corporation as authorized hereby.”

Undertakings.
The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended;
(ii)
To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration
Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)
To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to
such information in the registration statement;
provided,
however, that
(A)
subparagraphs
(i) and (ii) above do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8,
and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
these subparagraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration
statement.
(B)
subparagraphs
(i), (ii) and (iii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3
or
Form F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by these subparagraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished
to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d)
of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this
registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant
to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
(2)
That,
for
the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
as
amended, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona
fide offering thereof.
(3)
To
remove
from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each filing of the
Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in this
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933,
as
amended, may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of
the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in
the
successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities
being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant has duly
caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of San Antonio, State of
Texas, on the 22nd
