</TABLE>

   As consideration to the Company for its issuance of the Series D
Preference Stock, Messrs. Roenigk and Markowitz transferred to the Company
all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of MicroAssembly Systems,
which capital stock had been held as personal assets by each of them.

   Messrs. Roenigk and Markowitz paid to the Company $300,000 and $100,000,
respectively, for the Company's issuance to them of its Senior Convertible
Promissory Notes in like amount.  Funds used to acquire the $400,000
aggregate principal amount of Senior Convertible Promissory Notes were
derived from the personal funds of Messrs. Roenigk and Markowitz,
respectively.

   The Company issued to Mr. Roenigk options to purchase 200,000 shares of
its Common Stock as an inducement for him to become its Chairman, President
and Chief Executive Officer.  The exercise price under the options is $1.50
per share of Common Stock, and the options expire on August 20, 2005.


Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.

   Messrs. Roenigk and Markowitz effected the acquisition of the shares
with the intent of assuming control of the Company after negotiating and
consummating the Stock Purchase Agreement with the Company's Board of
Directors.  In connection with the consummation of the Stock Purchase
Agreement on August 21, 1995, Norman Silberdick resigned as a director of the
Company and as its Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.  The
Company's Board of Directors elected Mr. Roenigk to fill Mr. Silberdick's
seat on the Company's Board of Directors and to become its Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer.  Mr. Markowitz was also elected to the
Company's six member Board of Directors.

   Except as noted above with respect to the issuance to Mr. Roenigk of the
options to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock already
included in this statement, neither Mr. Roenigk nor Mr. Markowitz have any
present plans or proposals to purchase additional shares of Common Stock or
to dispose of the rights to acquire shares of Common Stock currently held. 
However, additional shares may be purchased from time to time as investment
circumstances warrant.

   There are no present plans or proposals which relate to, or would result
in, an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization
or liquidation of the Company, the sale or transfer of a material amount of
the assets of the Company, any change in the present management of the
Company, any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy
of the Company, any other material change in the Company's business or
corporate structure, any changes in the Company's charter or by-laws which
may impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any person, causing
any class of securities of the Company to cease to be authorized or to be
quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national
securities association, causing any class of equity securities of the Company
becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section
12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any action
similar to those enumerated above.


Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

   (a)  Mr. Roenigk has beneficial ownership of rights to acquire 1,345,345
shares of the Company's Common Stock, which rights are derived from the right
(i) to convert at any time 945,345 shares of the Company's Series D
Preference Stock into 945,345 shares of Common Stock, (ii) to convert at any
time $300,000 principal amount of the Company's Senior Convertible Promissory
Notes into 200,000 shares of Common Stock, and (iii) to exercise at any time
(within 10 years from August 21, 1995) options to purchase up to 200,000
shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $1.50 per share, all of which
were acquired pursuant to the consummation of the Stock Purchase Agreement as
set forth in Item 3.

   The Series D Preference Stock currently held by Mr. Roenigk has rights
to vote on a share for share basis with the Common Stock on all corporate
issues other than the election of directors.  For election of directors each
share of Series D Preference Stock is entitled to 1/3.08 of a vote as
compared to the Common Stock, which is entitled to one vote per share.  As of
August 21, 1995, the Company had 1,749,622 shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding.  Accordingly, Mr. Roenigk's 945,345 shares of Series D
Preference Stock represent approximately 31.4% of the voting power of issued
and outstanding shares (including the Series D Preference Stock) for all
issues other than the election of directors, and approximately 14.2% of such
voting power for the election of directors.  Assuming the conversion of all
of the shares of Series D Preference Stock, the conversion of the entire
principal amount of the Senior Convertible Promissory Notes and the exercise
by Mr. Roenigk of his options to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock, Mr. Roenigk would hold 1,345,345 shares of the Company's Common
Stock, or approximately 37.8% of such Common Stock on a fully diluted basis. 
Mr. Roenigk does not own or have the right to acquire, directly or
indirectly, any other shares of the Company's Common Stock.  Mr. Roenigk
does, however, own 70,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share,
of Corcap, Inc. ("Corcap") and the right to acquire 450,000 additional shares
of such common stock at an exercise price of $.15 per share.  He is also a
director of Corcap.  Corcap currently owns 670,881 shares of the Company's
Common Stock, which represents approximately 22.3% of the voting power of
issued and outstanding shares on all issues other than the election of
directors and approximately 30.2% of the voting power of issued and
outstanding shares for the election of directors.  Corcap's 670,881 shares of
Common Stock represent approximately 18.8% of the Company's Common Stock on a
fully diluted basis.  Mr. Roenigk's 70,000 shares of Corcap common stock
represents approximately 2.4% of Corcap's issued and outstanding voting
shares.  Upon exercise of his options to purchase the additional 450,000
shares of Corcap's common stock, he would hold approximately 15.4% of
Corcap's common stock.

  (b)  Mr. Markowitz has beneficial ownership of the rights to acquire
381,782 shares of the Company's Common Stock, which rights are derived from
the right (i) to convert at any time 315,115 shares of the Company's Series D
Preference Stock into 315,115 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) to convert at
any time $100,000 principal amount of the Company's Senior Convertible
Promissory Notes into 66,667 shares of Common Stock, all of which were
acquired pursuant to the consummation of the stock Purchase Agreement as set
forth in Item 3.

   The Series D Preference Stock currently held by Mr. Markowitz has rights
to vote on a share for share basis with the Common Stock on all corporate
issues other than the election of directors.  For election of directors each
share of Series D Preference Stock is entitled to 1/3.08 of a vote as
compared to the Common Stock, which is entitled to one vote per share.  As of
August 21, 1995, the Company had 1,749,622 shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding.  Accordingly, Mr. Markowitz's 315,115 shares of Series D
Preference Stock represent approximately 10.5% of the voting power of issued
and outstanding shares (including the Series D Preference Stock) for all
issues other than the election of directors, and approximately 4.7% of such
voting power for the election of directors.  Assuming conversion of all of
the shares of Series D Preference Stock and the conversion of the entire
principal amount of the Senior Convertible Promissory Notes, Mr. Markowitz
would hold 381,782 shares of the Company's Common Stock, or approximately
10.7% of such Common Stock on a fully diluted basis.  Mr. Markowitz does not
own or have the right to acquire, directly or indirectly, any other shares of
the Company's Common Stock.


Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With
          Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

   Mr. Roenigk and Mr. Markowitz have no contracts, arrangements,
understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between themselves with
respect to any securities of the Company which relate to such matters as
transfer or voting of any such securities, finder's fees, joint ventures,
loan or option agreements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of
profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies, and no such
contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship exists between or among
them and the Company.  However, Messrs. Roenigk and Markowitz have in the
past consulted, and can in the future be expected to consult between
themselves and with other members of the Company's management concerning
their respective investments in the Company.

    (1)   Stock Option Agreement dated August 21, 1995 by and between Martin
          Roenigk and the Company.

                      NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION TERMS


   CompuDyne Corporation ("CompuDyne") hereby grants to the Grantee the
option (the "Option") to purchase on or before the Expiration Date at the
Purchase Price per Share the Option Shares, which shall be fully paid and
non-assessable shares of the Common Stock of CompuDyne, par value $.75 per 
share (the "Common Stock").

   The Option is granted subject to the following terms and conditions:

   1.   The Option is immediately exercisable and shall expire on the
Expiration Date.

   2.   The Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, by written
notification delivered in person or by mail to CompuDyne's Corporate 
Secretary at CompuDyne's executive offices in Hartford, Connecticut or at 
such other location of its executive offices.  Such notification shall be 
effective upon its receipt by the Corporate Secretary of CompuDyne on or 
before the Expiration Date, and shall be in substantially the form attached 
as Exhibit A, specifying the number of shares with respect to which the 
Option is then being exercised and accompanied by payment for such shares.  
The Option may not be exercised with respect to a fractional share or with 
respect to fewer than 100 shares.  In the event the Expiration Date falls on 
a day which is not a regular business day at CompuDyne's executive offices, 
then such written notification must be received at such office on or before 
the last regular business day prior to the Expiration Date.  Payment is to 
be made by check payable to the order of CompuDyne.  No shares shall be 
issued on exercise of the Option until full payment for such shares has 
been made and all checks delivered in payment therefor have been collected.  
The Grantee shall not have any rights of a shareholder upon exercise of the 
Option, including but not limited to, the right to vote or to receive 
dividends, until stock certificates have been issued to the Grantee.

   3.   CompuDyne shall not be required to issue any certificate or
certificates for shares purchased upon the exercise of any part of the Option
prior to (i) the admission of such shares to listing on any stock exchange on
which the stock may then be listed, (ii) the completion of any registration or
other qualification of such shares under any state or federal law or rulings 
or regulations of any governmental regulatory body, if required prior to such
exercise unless an exemption from registration is available, as determined by
CompuDyne in its sole discretion, (iii) the obtaining of any consent or 
approval or other clearance from any governmental agency which CompuDyne 
shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable, and 
(iv) the payment to CompuDyne, upon its demand, of any amount requested by 
CompuDyne for withholding, federal, state or local income or earnings taxes 
or any other applicable tax or assessment (plus interest or penalties 
thereon, if any, caused by a delay in making such payment) incurred by reason
of the exercise of the Option or the transfer of such shares.  The Option 
shall be exercised and shares issued only upon compliance with the 
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and any other applicable 
securities laws, and the Grantee shall comply  with any requirements imposed 
by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities commission 
under such laws.   

  If the Grantee qualifies as an "affiliate" (as that term is defined in
Rule 144 ("Rule 144" promulgated under the Act), upon demand by CompuDyne, the
Grantee (or any person acting on his or her behalf) shall deliver to the
Corporate Secretary of CompuDyne at the time of any exercise of the Option a
written representation that upon exercising the Option he will acquire shares
for his own account, that he is not taking the shares with a view to
distribution and that he will dispose of the shares only in compliance with
Rule 144.

   4.   The Option is not transferrable by the Grantee otherwise than by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable, during the 
life of the Grantee, only by him or by his guardian or legal representative.  
More particularly (but without limiting the generality of the foregoing), 
the Option may not be assigned, transferred (except as provided above), 
pledged or hypothecated in any way, shall not be assignable by operation of 
law and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.  

   5.   Notwithstanding any other provisions:
  
   (a)  If the Grantee should die during the term of the Option, the Option
may be exercised by the person designated in the Grantee's last will and
testament or, in the absence of such designation, by the Grantee's estate, to
the full extent that the Option could have been exercised by the Grantee
immediately prior to the Grantee's death, but not later than the second
anniversary of the Grantee's death until the expiration of its original term. 

   In the event the Option is exercised by the executors, administrators,
legatees or distributees of the estate of the Optionee, CompuDyne shall be 
under no obligation to issue shares unless CompuDyne is satisfied that the 
person or persons exercising the Option are the duly appointed legal 
representatives of the Optionee's estate or the proper legatees or 
distributees thereof. 

   (b)  In the event of a merger, consolidation, reorganization,
recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split or other changes in corporate
structure or capitalization affecting the Common Stock, the number of shares
remaining to be exercised under the Option and the Purchase Price shall be
appropriately adjusted.  If, as a result of any adjustment under this
