                     Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)




1.         General:

           These  financial  statements  should be read in conjunction  with the
           notes to the  financial  statements  contained  in the latest  annual
           report for the year ended December 31, 1995.


2.         Results of Operations:

           In the opinion of management,  the accompanying  unaudited  condensed
           financial  statements  contain all  adjustments  (consisting  only of
           normal recurring  accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial
           position as of September 30, 1996, the condensed statements of income
           for the three and nine month  periods  ended  September  30, 1996 and
           1995,  and the  statements  of cash flows for the nine  months  ended
           September 30, 1996 and 1995.

           The  condensed  statements  of income  for the nine and  three  month
           periods ended  September 30, 1996 are not  necessarily  indicative of
           the results to be expected for the full year.

3.         Income Per Share:

           Income per share is computed  using the  weighted  average  number of
           common shares and common share  equivalents  outstanding  during each
           period. In 1996 and 1995, the dilutive effect of outstanding  options
           and warrants was  included in the weighted  average  number of common
           shares.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan
           of Operation.

The following  discussion and analysis  provides  information  which  management
believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company's results
of  operations  and  financial  condition.  The  discussion  should  be  read in
conjunction  with  the  consolidated   financial  statements  contained  in  the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1995.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

On December 1, 1995, the Company  renegotiated its $1,500,000 credit note (based
upon 75% of eligible accounts  receivable and 25% of inventory,  as defined) and
extended  it until  April  30,  1997.  As of  October  25,  1996,  $300,000  was
outstanding under this note. The Company's working capital on September 30, 1996
was $2,413,634.  During 1996 the Company  anticipates  that it will make capital
investments of approximately $1,000,000 of which approximately $619,000 has been
expended  through  September  30,  1996  for  the  purchase  and  production  of
additional  systems  which the  Company  intends to rent to its  customers.  The
Company  believes  that its  present  cash and  working  capital  position,  its
borrowing  availability and future anticipated income will be sufficient to meet
its cash and working capital needs for the foreseeable future.


Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Revenue from services increased $690,129 for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 as compared to the same period in 1995,  an increase of 18%.  This increase
resulted from  expansion of the Company's  customer base for monthly  monitoring
and  leasing  services.  Costs  related to services  for the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 were 33% and 34%, respectively.

Revenue from services  increased  $185,432 for the three months ended  September
30,  1996 as compared  to the same  period in 1995,  an  increase  of 13%.  This
increase  resulted  from  expansion of the  Company's  customer base for monthly
monitoring and leasing services.  Costs related to services for the three months
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 were 33% and 39%, respectively.

Revenue  from  product  sales  increased  $233,449  for the  nine  months  ended
September  30, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995,  an increase of 35%.
This  increase was primarily  due to the increase in sales to  distributors  and
retirement  communities.  The gross profit on product  sales for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 was 31% and 30%, respectively.


Revenue from product sales increased $8,623 for the three months ended September
30,  1996 as  compared  to the same  period in 1995,  an  increase  of 2%.  This
increase  was  primarily  due to the  increase  in  sales  to  distributors  and
retirement communities. The gross profit on product sales for

the  three  months  ended   September  30,  1996  and  1995  was  30%  and  44%,
respectively.  Product sales gross profit  decreased for the quarter as a result
of competitive pricing for distributors and retirement communities.

Interest  expense  for the nine  months  ended  September  30, 1996 and 1995 was
$33,635 and $42,510, respectively.  Selling, general and administrative expenses
as  compared  as a  percentage  of  total  revenues  for the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 were 34% and 37% respectively.

Interest  expense for the three  months  ended  September  30, 1996 and 1995 was
$8,399 and $13,114,  respectively.  Selling, general and administrative expenses
as  compared  as a  percentage  of total  revenues  for the three  months  ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 were 32% and 34% respectively.
