3.     In March of 1993, the Company entered into a long-term
revolving line of credit agreement with People's Bank providing for
domestic borrowings of up to $8,000,000, of which $5,750,000 was
available as of September 30, 1995 based on a formula of eligible
receivables (as defined).  The credit facility is collateralized by
a first lien on substantially all of the Company's assets, and the
agreement contains, among other provisions and covenants, the
following:  (1) subordination of all existing and future
indebtedness (as defined) of the Company to the indebtedness under
the credit facility; (2) limitations on dividend payments, stock
purchases and subordinated debt repurchases; (3) maintenance of
levels of Consolidated Adjusted Tangible Net Worth (as defined) and
(4) achievement of various financial ratios.  The Company is
required to pay a commitment fee equal to 1% of the unused
borrowings under the line of credit.  The loans mature on March 1,
1996, and bear interest at the People's prime rate plus 1-1/4%.

     In March 1995, the Company entered into a new international
overdraft line of credit with National Westminster Bank Plc,
enabling its foreign subsidiaries to borrow up to an aggregate of
$2,250,000 of which $1,324,000 was available as of September 30,
1995.  Borrowings under this line of credit are payable upon
demand, are available until December 31, 1995, and are secured by
a standby letter of credit and the cross guarantees of the Company
and its subsidiaries.  The loans bear interest at the rate of
National Westminster's prime rate plus 1%.  As the letter of credit
securing this loan was funded under the Company's domestic credit
line, the Company's borrowing ability under its domestic line of
credit has been reduced for the aggregate amount of $2,250,000 so
long as this facility remains available.

     In August 1994 the Company received a grant of $100,000 and a
loan of $100,000 from the state of Connecticut in connection with
the relocation of its manufacturing facility to Orange, Connecticut
in 1992.  The loan is payable monthly over five years at a rate of
5% per annum.

     In March 1995 the Company received a mortgage loan of
$2,500,000 from the State of Connecticut related to the purchase of
its new facility in Shelton, Connecticut.  The loan is payable
monthly over 10 years.  The rate is adjusted annually at 1% below
LIBOR.  The rate for 1995 is 5.75%.

      In January 1995 the Company repurchased $750,000 face amount
of its 8 1/4% convertible subordinated debentures.  This repurchase
resulted in an extraordinary gain of $95,000, net of income taxes
and related deferred issuance costs.

      In April 1995 the Company repurchased $199,000 face amount of
its 9% convertible subordinated debentures.  This repurchase
resulted in an extraordinary gain of $13,000, net of income taxes
and related deferred issuance costs.

4.    In January 1995, the Company made a loan to Mr. Greene,
founder of the Company and former Chairman of the Board of
Directors, in the amount of $500,000, collateralized by a pledge of
400,000 shares of the Company's common stock, to be repaid in
thirty six (36) equal monthly installments commencing on January 1,
1997, plus interest at the rate charged to the Company by its
principal lender, plus 1%, which interest payments began upon the
effective date of the agreement.  In consideration for this loan,
Mr. Greene granted  to the Company an option to purchase 200,000
shares of the pledged stock at a price of $3.00 per share, and a
right of first refusal to purchase any other shares of common stock
which Mr. Greene may desire to sell in a private sale transaction. 
Mr. Greene repaid this loan in full in August 1995 at which time
the option to purchase 200,000 shares of the pledged stock and the
right of first refusal were terminated.

5.    On May 8, 1995 the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan
of Merger ("Merger Agreement") with General Signal Corporation
("General Signal") and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of General
Signal, pursuant to which the Company has agreed, subject to the
approval of the Shareholders of the Company, to an exchange of
shares of the Company into shares of General Signal.  The exchange 
has been established at .14357 shares of General Signal for each
share of the Company.

      The Merger Agreement contains provisions with respect to
representations and warranties and covenants of both parties.  In
the event of termination due to certain circumstances, the Company
may be obligated to pay General Signal's expenses in connection
with the Agreement of up to $1.5 million plus an additional fee of
up to $2.4 million.  In connection with the merger, Richard E.
Greene, the largest single shareholder of the Company, has entered
into a Letter Agreement with General Signal, approved by the
Company, which provides for his support of the Agreement, and his
proxy to vote for the Merger Agreement and against approval or
ratification of any other acquisition proposal.  Mr. Greene also
agreed to repay to the Company the principal amount of all
outstanding loans at least 30 days prior to the consummation of the
merger.  These loans were repaid in full in August 1995.

                         DATA SWITCH CORPORATION
                 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
          OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The Company reported net income for the third quarter of 1995 of
$1,637,000 compared with net income of $1,013,000 in the third
quarter of 1994.  The Company reported net income for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 of $3,546,000, including a $108,000
extraordinary gain on the repurchase of debentures, compared with
$1,585,000 for the same time period in 1994. 

Revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995
increased 9.4% to $25,639,000 and 10.2% to $73,694,000,
respectively, from the comparable 1994 period.  The increase is
attributable to gains in the Company's newer product lines,
partially offset by decreases in traditional product lines.   For
the year, domestic revenues are up 9.5% and international revenues
are up  23.2% over last year.  Service revenues for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1995 were 6.0% and 8.3% higher than
the comparable 1994 periods.

The gross profit margin for the three months ended September 30,
1995 was 45.3%, compared with 46.3% in 1994.  For the year, gross
profit margin was 44.3% compared with 45.2% in 1994.  Margins are
down due to an unfavorable product mix.  Service margins for the
third quarter and nine months of 1995 were 45.6% and 43.6%,
respectively, up from 41.1% and 40.8% for the same time period in
1994 primarily as a result of increased revenues.

Selling, general and administrative expense-to-revenue ratio
decreased to 24.1% in the third quarter of 1995 from 26.7% for the
third quarter of 1994, primarily due to the increased revenue base. 
Actual expenses decreased by $75,000 compared with the third
quarter 1994, due to lower personnel costs partially offset by
higher commission expense and increased promotional activities. 
The expense-to-revenue ratio decreased to 24.9% for the nine months
of 1995, compared with 27.5% for the nine months of 1994, as a
result of the higher revenue base.

Engineering and development expenditures for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1995 decreased to 9.1% and 9.9% of
revenues, respectively, from 10.8% and 12.2% of revenues for
comparable periods in 1994.  Actual expenditures for the third
quarter and nine months of 1995 decreased $207,000 and $866,000,
respectively, compared with the same periods of 1994, due to lower
parts costs and savings from consolidating facilities offset
partially by higher personnel costs.

Costs related to the consolidation of the Company's Connecticut
facilities into one building were $267,000 for the third quarter
and $700,000 for the first nine months of 1995.  No other
significant costs are expected to be incurred.

Interest expense in the third quarter of 1995 increased by 5.5% due
primarily to mortgage interest on the new facility partially offset
by lower debt levels.  Interest expense for the nine months of 1995
decreased by 2.1%.   During the first quarter of 1995 the Company
repurchased $750,000 face amount of 8 1/4% convertible subordinated
debentures which resulted in an extraordinary gain of $95,000, net
of taxes and related deferred issuance costs.  In the second
quarter the Company repurchase $199,000 face amount of 9%
convertible subordinated debentures, which resulted in an
extraordinary gain of approximately $13,000, net of taxes and
related issuance costs.

Other income increased for the third quarter and nine months of
1995 by $149,000 and $367,000 respectively, over the comparable
1994 periods due primarily to short-term investments of cash
reserves.

Provisions for income taxes was $877,000 and $1,851,000 for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively, based
on the estimated annual effective tax rate of 35%, versus a
provision of $585,000 and $853,000 for the comparable 1994 periods. 
The estimated tax rate for 1995 is higher than the federal
statutory rate of 34.0% because of state taxes and higher
international taxes, partially offset by anticipated utilization of
loss carryforwards and tax credits.
 
On May 8, 1995 the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger with General Signal Corporation and a direct wholly-owned
subsidiary of General Signal pursuant to which the Company agreed
to an exchange of shares of the Company into shares of General
Signal (See Note 5).

In March, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to Be Disposed Of".  This statement establishes accounting
standards for the impairment of long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be disposed of.  Implementation of the
statement is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1995.  The Company is in the process of reviewing the statement and
as of this date has not determined its impact.  The Company has not
determined whether it will adopt the statement prior to the
required date.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
_______________________________

The Company generated $2,891,000 of cash before financing
activities in the first nine months of 1995, compared with
generating $11,075,000 in the first nine months of 1994.  Working
capital at September 30, 1995 increased by $5,680,000 from December
31, 1994 as a result of an increase in cash and accounts receivable
partially offset by increased accounts payable and income taxes
payable.  The ratio of current assets to current liabilities is
3.2:1 at September 30, 1995.  In addition to selling its products,
the Company also leases its products under sales-type lease
agreements.  These receivables are available for sale as a source
of financing.

In November 1994, the Company purchased an 83,000 square foot
facility in Shelton, Connecticut for the purchase price of $3.1
million.  This facility serves as the Company's corporate
headquarters and manufacturing plant as the leases for the
Company's facilities in Shelton and Orange, Connecticut expired in
mid-1995.  The Company has spent approximately $1.6 million in
additional capital improvements on the facility, including the
addition of 11,000 square feet of warehouse space.

The Company financed its new Shelton facility with a $2,500,000 low
interest State of Connecticut mortgage loan.  Short-term debt
consisted of $676,000 of international borrowings.  The current
portion of long-term debt consisted of $19,000 of the State of
Connecticut loan and $196,000 of the State of Connecticut mortgage
loan.  Long-term debt consisted of $18,566,000 of convertible
subordinated debentures, $61,000 of the State of Connecticut loan,
and $2,210,000 for the State of Connecticut mortgage loan.  The
Company had $7,324,000 of its $8,000,000 domestic and international
revolving line of credit available at September 30, 1995.

In the opinion of management, existing financial resources,
including cash anticipated to be generated by operations and
available under existing credit facilities, will be adequate to
meet current and expected operating and capital requirements.

Impact of Inflation
___________________

Inflation did not have a significant impact on the Company during
1994 and is not expected to do so in 1995.
