                 DETECTION SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                        AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Net sales for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 1995
increased $627,000 and $1,246,000, respectively as compared to the sales for
the comparable periods ended September 30, 1994. These increases were
primarily attributable to increased sales in most product categories and
increased sales to domestic and international wholesale distribution
accounts. 

         The Company sells a variety of electronic security and fire equipment
that has a significant range in both sales price and gross product margin. 
Based on customer demand, sales of different product types have historically
shown noticeable shifts on a quarter to quarter basis. It is projected that
average prices will continue to decline in fiscal 1996.  The Company is
adding reduced featured versions of its standard product line to accommodate
this trend.

         Gross profit margins on sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1995
fell by approximately two percentage points as compared with the same
quarter a year ago.  This decline is attributable to special startup pricing
for the Company's international sales offices as well as increased domestic
labor costs associated with the build up of inventory levels to support the
increase in international sales.  Gross profit margins remained consistent
during the six month period ended September 30, 1995 versus the same period
one year ago.

         Internationally, the Company now has sales offices in Australia,
China, France and Hong Kong.  The Company has obtained several product
approvals from the appropriate agencies within these and other targeted
countries.  This process is similar to that provided by UL and the FCC in
the United States. The Company's southeast Asia manufacturing facility
equipment and management are in place.  Procedures are being developed and
training is underway.  Manufacturing operations at this facility are
targeted to commence later this year.

         Other income decreased for the three and six month periods ended
September 30, 1995 as compared with the same periods ended September 30,
1994 due to decreases in funds available for investment.

         Production expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1995
increased 11.5% as compared with the same three month period a year ago. 
This increase is attributable to the Southeast Asia manufacturing facility
startup.  Production expenses for the six months ended September 30, 1995
increased at a rate consistent with sales activity as compared with  the
same period one year ago.

         Development expenses for the three and six months periods ended
September 30, 1995 remained consistent with that of the same periods ended
September 30, 1994.

         Marketing, administrative and general expenses increased $624,000 and
$1,259,000 in the three and six month periods ended September 30, 1995 as
compared with the same periods a year ago.  These increases were primarily
due to the startup of the Company s international venture.

         Interest expenses remained constant for the three and six month
periods ended September 30, 1995 versus the same periods a year ago.  

         Pretax income was $46,000 and $520,000 for the three and six month
periods ended September 30, 1995, respectively as compared with $719,000 and
$1,450,000 for the same periods a year ago.  The decrease was primarily due
to the full expensing of the international startup costs.

         The Company s effective tax rates for the three and six months periods
ended September 30, 1995 were 250.9% and 81.9%  as compared with  36.0% and
36.7% for the three and six months ended September 30, 1994.  These
significant increases were due to the inability of the Company to write off
certain subsidiary losses at this time.  The Company will benefit from these
losses on a carry forward basis when the subsidiaries becomes profitable.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

         At September 30, 1995, the Company had net working capital of $14.3
million, including approximately $2.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments.  This compares to net working capital of
approximately $15.0 million and $7.0 million in cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments at March 31, 1995.  Operations for the six-month
period ended September 30, 1995 used net cash of $2,952,000.  The cash
outflow was primarily due to startup costs associated with the Company s
international initiative.  

         The Company has bank commitments for revolving credit facilities
totaling $9,000,000, that extend into fiscal 1998. These commitments include
an interest rate based on either the bank's stated prime rate or the London
Interbank Offered Rates (LIBOR) and a five year term loan provision for
repayment of balance due, if necessary.  At September 30, 1995, the Company
had short-term loans of $500,000 from these lines of credit.  The Company
believes that current levels of cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments, together with available lines of credit, will be sufficient to
meet its foreseeable working capital needs.  On a long-term basis, most cash
requirements of the international initiative are expected to be derived from
operations of overseas subsidiaries. 

         The Company continually reviews its capital assets and upgrades them
as required to insure that its technical and manufacturing capabilities stay
on the leading edge of the industries it serves.  During the quarter ended
September 30, 1995, the Company purchased manufacturing equipment for its
Southeast Asia manufacturing facility and committed to the purchase of
business system software to enhance its ability to communicate in a global
market place.  The Company believes it has the resources to fund these
expenditures internally.

         Although the Company has a broad customer base, it does have several
customers who individually account for large amounts of business.  A
significant change in purchases by one of these customers could result in
significant fluctuations in sales and profit.  To minimize these
fluctuations, the Company has increased its emphasis on partnership
opportunities with its national and regional accounts.  In addition, the
Company has increased its support of domestic and international wholesale
distribution companies.  The Company s international initiative is also
expected to minimize fluctuations in sales.

         The Company expects to continue expenditures on the development of new
products and markets.  These expenditures will include continued investment
in security detection, fire detection, alarm control products and several
wireless projects, as well as the expansion of the Company s international
marketing efforts. 

         The Company, in conjunction with its Emergency Communications
subsidiary, has initiated a nationwide promotional campaign of its Security
Escort personal safety system to engineered systems dealers.  This is the
first time the system has been offered to markets other than colleges and
universities.  Potential opportunities for the system exist in areas such as
health care facilities, shopping malls, high rise residential facilities and
corporate campuses.  Additional interest has also been expressed in certain
government applications. 

         Accounts receivable increased $1,173,000 from the March 31, 1995
level.  This increase was partially attributable to the increased sales
during the quarter ended September 30, 1995 to the Company s distributors
and national accounts.  It was also impacted by special promotional startup
terms offered to the Company's international sales offices.  The Company s
standard credit terms are net 30 days.

         Inventories increased $2,245,000 from the March 31,1995 level due to
the build-up of inventory to support the Company's international venture. 
The Company regularly reviews its reserve for obsolescence and adjusts it
accordingly.  Occasionally, a new product will render another obsolete. 
However, it has been the Company s policy to time the release of new
products to minimize this impact.

         Prepaid expenses and other assets increased $582,000 from the March
31, 1995 due to the payment of several deposits associated with the
Southeast Asia manufacturing facility as well as the payment of school taxes
and prepaid health care insurance premiums.

         Accounts payable increased $908,000 from the March 31, 1995 level due
to timing of payments on inventory purchases to finance our international
venture.

         Accrued payroll and benefits decreased $440,000 from March 31, 1995,
primarily due to the payment of fiscal 1995 year-end performance bonuses.
