         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                    AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net sales for the three month period ended June 30, 1995,
increased $617,000 as compared to the comparable year ago quarter. 
This increase was attributable to increased unit sales in most
product categories as well as increased sales to distribution
accounts.  The Company has recently increased its support of
domestic wholesale distribution companies in the promotion of its
products.  The Company sells a variety of electronic security and
fire detection equipment that has a significant range in both sales
price and gross product margin.  Based on customer demand, sales of
different product types have shown noticeable shifts on a quarter
to quarter basis. It is projected that average prices will continue
to decline in fiscal 1996, consistent with historical trends.  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 June 30,
1995 improved slightly as compared with the same period a year ago. 
Fluctuations in gross profit margin are usually attributable to
product mix.  Gross profit margins in fiscal 1996 are also
projected to be impacted by the Company's international initiative.

     During fiscal 1995, an international subsidiary was
established to address international markets.  An experienced
international executive was appointed to lead this operation. 
Subsidiaries were established in Hong Kong and Australia.  A branch
office was established in France.  A manufacturing facility in
Southeast Asia has been leased and manufacturing operations at this
facility are targeted to commence later this year.  The Company
believes this facility will allow the Company to achieve reduced
manufacturing costs in the future when associated volumes increase.

     Other income increased during the quarter.  This was partially
due to increased sales from the Company s foreign sales corporation. 
It was also impacted by increased moneys available for investment
during the majority of the quarter ended June 30, 1995.

     Production expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1995
increased at a rate consistent with sales activity as compared with 
the same period one year ago.  The Company expects production
expenses to increase in fiscal 1996, primarily due to the start-up
of the Southeast Asia manufacturing facility.

     Development expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 1995
remained consistent with that of the quarter ended June 30, 1994.

     Marketing, administrative and general expenses increased
$636,000 in the three month period ended June 30, 1995 as compared
with the same period a year ago.  This increase was primarily due
to the start-up of the Company's international venture.

     Interest expenses remained constant for the three month period
ended June 30, 1995 versus the same period a year ago. 

     Pretax income was $474,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995
compared to $731,000 for the equivalent year ago quarter.  The
decrease was primarily due to the full expensing of international
start-up costs. 

     The Company s effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30,
1995 was 65.6% as compared to 37.3% for the same quarter a year
ago.  The higher rate results from the tax impact of subsidiary
consolidation. If and when the Company's subsidiaries become
profitable, loss carryforwards will be utilized to offset earnings. 


FINANCIAL CONDITION

     At June 30, 1995, the Company had net working capital of $14.9
million, including approximately $4.6 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 and cash equivalents at March 31, 1995.  Operations for the
three-month period ended June 30, 1995 used net cash of $1,663,000.
The cash outflow results from start-up costs associated with the
Company's international initiative.  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 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.

     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.  The Company expects to make a substantial
expenditure for manufacturing equipment for its new southeast Asia
manufacturing facility and for business system software to enhance
the Company's 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 substantial 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
large regional accounts.  In addition, the Company is increasing
its support of domestic wholesale distribution companies.  The
Company's international initiative is also expected to minimize
fluctuations in sales.

     During the past several years, the Company has made
substantial expenditures on the development of new products and
markets.  The Company expects to continue this trend for the
foreseeable future.  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.
 
     Accounts receivable increased $605,000 from the prior quarter. 
This increase was attributable to the increased sales volumes for
the quarter ended June 30, 1995.  The Company s standard credit
terms are net 30 days.

     Inventories increased $853,000 from the March 31,1995 level
due to the build-up of inventory to support our 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 $271,000 from
March 31, 1995 due to the prepayment of the Company s comprehensive
insurance premium for fiscal year 1996.
 
     Accounts payable decreased $243,000 from the March 31, 1995
level due to timing of payments on inventory purchases to finance
our international initiative.

     Accrued payroll and benefits decreased $326,000 from March 31,
1995, primarily due to the payment of fiscal 1995 year-end
performance bonuses.
