                    DISTINCTIVE DEVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                                  May 31, 1998



NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements.  In the opinion of management all adjustments considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the
three-month period ended May 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of results
that may be expected for the year ended February 28, 1999.  For further
information refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year
ended February 28, 1998.


NOTE B - CURRENT AND LONG-TERM RECEIVABLES FROM COVENANT NOT
         TO COMPETE
As discussed in its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended February
28, 1997, the Company's operating assets and businesses were sold on July 12,
1996.  Upon closing, the Company received cash equal to the approximate book
value of receivables, inventories and equipment.  Added consideration is
payable monthly, over a four-year term following the sale date, in exchange for
the Company's commitment not to compete with the buyer.  Such payment amounts
are subject to reduction if control of the Company changes during the four-year
term.

The date of such control change cannot be predicted.  In the interim, financial
statements reflect amounts received under non-compete provisions of the
business sale agreement and the discounted value of probable future payments,
based upon management's best estimate.


NOTE C - NON-CASH INVESTING ACTIVITY
Investments available-for-sale are 4-3/4% U.S. Treasury Notes par value
$100,000 due October 31, 1998, valued at market.  Market value rose $188 during
the three-month period ended May 31, 1998.


Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL 
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:  Since the sale of its businesses on July 12, 1996, the
Company has had no operating revenues.  As a consequence, a loss resulted from
continuing operations for the three-month periods ended May 31, 1998 and 1997.
For information regarding the business sale agreement, reference is made to the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended February 28, 1997.

Revenues include noncompete consideration and interest earned on cash
equivalents and investments.  Noncompete consideration earned during the latest
three-month period does not include receipt of $2,250, which represents the
value of payments received which were previously classified (on a discounted
basis)as receivable from the covenant not to compete.

FINANCIAL CONDITION:  Except for estimated amounts to be received from the
buyer of the Company's businesses, assets consist of cash and marketable
investments.  Liabilities represent routine administrative expenses, either
payable or accrued at the balance sheet date.  The Company has no debt and no
financial commitments outstanding.  

CURRENT ACTIVITIES:  The Company is actively continuing efforts to identify a
suitable merger partner, preferably a profitable, privately-held business
seeking public ownership.
