                FIGGIE INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          June 30, 1994 and 1993


The summarized financial information included herein has been prepared by
the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and properly reflects all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary to present a fair statement of the financial results for the
periods covered by this report.  The results of operations for the six
months ended June 30, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the entire year.


(1) Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies:

    The Company's financial information for the six months ended June 30,
    1994 and 1993 has been prepared in accordance with the accounting
    policies described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
    Statements appearing in Figgie International Inc.'s Form 10-K for the
    year ended December 31, 1993.


(2) Inventories:

    Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and include cost
    of material, labor and overhead. The first-in, first-out method of
    inventory accounting is used in the determination of cost of sales.

    The Company conducts physical inventories of its raw materials, work in
    process and finished goods between September 30 and December 31.  The
    amounts shown for inventories at June 30, 1994 have been determined
    under the Company's regular accounting system.

    It is impractical to segregate inventories into major classes due to
    the nature of the items and the businesses carried on by the Company.


(3) Federal Income Taxes:

    The Company provides for Federal income taxes for interim reporting
    purposes using applicable statutory tax rates and considering available
    tax credits.  Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No.
    109, Accounting for Income Taxes, the effect of which was to increase
    first quarter 1993 net income by $5.8 million.


(4) Commitments and Contingent Liabilities:

    As reported under Item 3 "Legal Proceedings" in the Company's 1993 Form
    10-K Annual Report, the Company appealed to the United States Court of
    Appeals for the Ninth Circuit a Federal District Court's summary
    judgment against the Company in a suit brought by the Federal Trade
    Commission seeking consumer redress in connection with the sale of heat
    detectors manufactured by the Company's Interstate Engineering
    division.  The Court of Appeals held that the District Court had
    committed error in ordering the Company to pay a minimum amount of
    approximately $7,600,000 but held that the Company could be required to
    <PAGE>
<PAGE> 9

    pay refunds to those buyers who, after notification, can make a valid
    claim for redress.  The Company is working with the Federal Trade
    Commission toward the completion of a redress program.  The Company had
    established an accrual and no additional material charge to earnings is
    anticipated.

    In a class action suit filed on April 18, 1994 in the U.S. District
    Court for the Northern District of Ohio against the Company and two
    former officers and directors, the plaintiff stockholder alleged that
    the defendants disseminated false and misleading information to the 
    investing public concerning the Company's business, management, 
    financial condition, and future prospects in violation of Section 
    10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  A separate
    class action suit was filed by another stockholder on May 11, 1994, in
    the same court against the Company, certain former and present 
    officers and directors, and the Company's auditing firm, setting forth
    similar allegations.  Both suits seek monetary damages and costs.

    The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are defendants in various
    other lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business.  In the
    opinion of Company management, the outcome of the litigation will not
    have a material adverse effect on the operations or financial position
    of the Company.  Costs incurred by the Company in the performance of
    U.S. Government contracts are subject to audit.  In the opinion of
    management, the final settlement of these costs will not result in
    significant adjustments to recorded amounts.


(5) Reclassification of Amounts:

    Certain amounts for 1993 have been reclassified to reflect
    comparability with account classifications for 1994.


(6) Discontinued Operations:

    In December of 1993, the Company instituted a divestiture program of
    certain businesses as part of its debt restructuring efforts.  These
    entities represent separate major lines of business, classes of
    customers, or non-reportable business segments and, accordingly, have
    been treated as discontinued operations as required by generally
    accepted accounting principles.  In June 1994, this program was amended
    to include the Fred Perry and Casi-Rusco businesses.  The accompanying
    consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to report as
    discontinued operations the net assets and operating results of the
    following operations:  Rawlings Sporting Goods, Sherwood-Drolet Corp.
    Ltd., Advance Security, American Lafrance, Safety Supply America,
    Medical Devices, Huber/Essick/Mayco Pump, Cardinal Casualty Co., Colony
    Insurance Co., Hamilton Insurance Co., Waite Hill Services, Fred Perry,
    and Casi-Rusco.

    Net assets of the discontinued operations at June 30, 1994 and 
    December 31, 1993 consisted primarily of accounts receivable, inventory
    and machinery and equipment, offset by payables, accruals and insurance
    loss reserves.
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 10

    Discontinued operations represented sales volumes of $176.7 million for
    the first six months of 1994 compared to $209.3 million for the same
    period in 1993, and are excluded from the reported sales amounts. 
    Income from discontinued operations includes provisions for federal and
    state taxes at the statutory rates for the applicable period.

    No provision for loss on disposal of discontinued operations has been 
    provided as the Company does not expect its divestiture plan to result
    in a net loss.  During the first six months of 1994, the Company
    completed the sale of Advance Security and Casi-Rusco.  In July 1994,
    the Company completed the sale of Rawlings Sporting Goods and Safety
    Supply America.


(7) Debt Restructuring and Divestitures:


    Subsequent to June 30, 1994, the Company executed agreements with its
    lenders to restructure approximately $315 million in debt and
    commitments, of which $277 million was outstanding, and $172 million in
    leases.  The restructuring resulted in the repayment of $97 million in
    debt and leases on August 1, 1994.  The Company had disposed of certain
    businesses under a divestiture program and used sale proceeds to pay
    down debt.  The agreements require, in addition to the normally
    scheduled debt payments, a further reduction of approximately $115
    million in debt and lease obligations based upon debt amortization
    payments to be made through June 30, 1995.  The agreement, which
    matures on June 30, 1995, consolidated 26 previous credit facilities
    into one and restructured a series of lease agreements.  The agreement
    bears interest at base rate plus 2%.  This agreement also contains
    restrictions and financial covenants on capital expenditures, cash flow
    and consolidated tangible net worth.


    As a result of this refinancing, the debt has been classified as long-
    term debt on the balance sheet as of June 30, 1994 and December 31,
    1993 based on revised maturity schedules.

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


Results of Operations - Six Months Ended June 30, 1994

CONTINUING OPERATIONS:

Consolidated net sales in the first six months of 1994 were $361.4 million,
which is $3.5 million (1%) below the net sales of $364.9 million reported
in the first six months of 1993.
<TABLE>

</TABLE>

The Consumer Products segment's increase of $1.6 million is due to a volume
increase at Interstate Engineering in the United States, attributable to
improved distribution programs and expansion in Japan, and new product
introduction at Interstate Engineering and Taylor.

Fire Protection and Safety segment's sales declined $5.6 million or 5.4%. 
The decline was primarily attributed to Automatic Sprinkler's lower non-
residential construction contracts, offset somewhat by service and
inspection sale increases.

The Machinery and Allied Products segment's sales increased by $1.2 million. 
Snorkel's sales increased significantly due to improved market conditions
for elevating work platforms.  Scaffolding product increases were due to
several large distributor orders, earthquake-related work in Los Angeles,
and several industrial maintenance contracts.  Offsetting most of this
favorable performance were reduced shipments of packaging machinery.

The Technical Products segment's sales decreased $4.1 million due to a
reduction in airline orders and a decline in government spending.

The Service segment's sales increased by $3.5 million due primarily to
increased volume in the vehicle fleet as well as equipment financing at
Financial Services.

Other Expense for the first six months of 1994 was $6.9 million compared to
Other Income of $1.8 million for the same period last year.  1993 includes
a $2.6 million recovery of a canceled mask contract with the U.S.
government.  1994 includes a loss on sale of assets of $3.9 million and
royalty and contract payments of $.9 million as the primary components.

Costs of sales were $307.8 million (85.2% of sales) in the first six months
of 1994, an increase of $34.7 million from $273.1 million (74.9% of sales)
during the same period in 1993.  The major reasons for these variances to
prior year are:  (1) competition between contractors and a revision of cost 
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 13

estimates of approximately $12.2 million at Automatic Sprinkler; (2) higher
production costs at Packaging Systems and Hartman ($5.6 million, the
majority of which occurred in the first three months); and (3) increased R&D
expenses of approximately $7.9 million for new product development.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses were $79.2 million (21.9% of
sales) for the first six months of 1994, an increase of $13.3 million from
$65.9 million (18.1% of sales) in 1993.  Selling expenses were lower by $1.2
million as compared to 1993.  General and Administrative expenses increased
by $14.5 million, of which $10.9 million is due to legal and professional
fees as a direct result of debt restructuring and the defense of lawsuits.

Interest expense during the first six months of 1994 was $20.9 million as
compared to $16.8 million for the same period in 1993.  The increase in debt
and a rise in variable interest rates caused the increase.

The Company reported restructuring costs associated with the consolidation
and modernization of production facilities, equipment, and support systems
of $51.0 million, $8.8 million, and $5.9 million for the years 1993, 1992,
and 1991, respectively.  The Company completed the major portions of this
program in prior years; however, some work is still continuing.  Charges
reflected in the first six months of 1994 are $921 thousand compared to $8.7
million for the same period last year.

</TABLE>

The Consumer Products segment's operating profits for the first six months
of 1994 were $3.8 million compared to profits of $4.1 million for the same
period in 1993.  The profit from increased sales was mitigated by the cost
to establish and introduce new product lines.  Also, at Taylor, the 1994
effect of expensing world class conversion costs as incurred lowered
profits.
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 14

Fire and Safety Products segment operating losses were $3.1 million for the
first six months of 1994 as compared to operating profits of $9.2 million
during the same period in 1993.  The substantial decline in profits is
primarily at Automatic Sprinkler and is due to lower volume, competition
between contractors for fewer jobs, and revised estimates of contract
completion costs.

The Machinery and Allied Products segment had a slight operating profit for
the first six months of 1994 compared to operating income of $3.8 million
for the same period in 1993.  At Packaging Systems sales volume reductions
and machinery cost increases caused the profit decline.

The Technical Products segment operating loss was $5.4 million for the first
six months of 1994 as compared to an operating income of $12.8 million for
the same period in 1993.  A volume reduction at Scott Aviation and the mask
contract recovery proceeds in 1993 contributed to the profit decline. 
Interstate Electronics profits declined due to substantial product R&D costs
related to the Global Positioning System.  Hartman has begun to stabilize
and is showing improved performance.

The Services segment operating profits were $1.0 million for the first six
months of 1994 compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 1993.  The
decline in profits is due to higher financing costs at Financial Services.

General corporate expenses during the first six months of 1994 were $31.0
million which is $15.6 million higher than the same period last year.  The
increase is primarily due to a $10.9 million increase in legal and
professional fees as a direct result of debt restructuring and defense of
lawsuits.

The loss from continuing operations before provisions for taxes amounted to
$55.6 million in the first six months of 1994 compared to income of $1.3
million for the same period in 1993.

The income tax benefit is 31.3% compared to a 42.1% tax rate during the same
period last year.

Income from discontinued operations for the first six months of 1994 is
being deferred on the balance sheet in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.  The Company does not expect a loss on the disposal
of the discontinued operations and, therefore, no provisions for losses are
required.

As of June 30, two additional divisions, Casi-Rusco and Fred Perry, have
been reclassified from Continuing Operations to Discontinued Operations. 
The net loss of $1.1 million from discontinued operations is comprised of
the six month results for Casi-Rusco and Fred Perry prior to being
discontinued.

Results of Operations - Second Quarter 1994

CONTINUING OPERATIONS:

Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 1994 were $190.3 million,
which is $4.6 million (2%) below the net sales of $194.9 million reported
in the second quarter of 1993.

</TABLE>

The Consumer Products segment's sales increased slightly.  Interstate
Engineering domestic sales and the introduction of new products are the
primary reasons consumer sales increased.

Fire Protection and Safety Product segment's sales declined $2.6 million or
4.7% during the second quarter of 1994.  The decline was primarily
attributed to Automatic Sprinkler's lower non-residential construction
contracts, offset somewhat by service and inspection sale increases.

The Machinery and Allied Products segment's sales increased slightly. 
Snorkel's sales increased significantly due to improved market conditions
for elevated work platforms.  Scaffolding product increases were due to
several large distributor orders, earthquake-related work in Los Angeles,
and several industrial maintenance contracts.  Offsetting this favorable
performance were reduced shipments of packaging machinery.

The Technical Products segment's sales decreased by $4.3 million due to a
reduction in airline orders and a decline in government spending.

The Service segment's sales for the second quarter of 1994 were $7.6 million
compared to sales of $5.8 million for the same period in 1993, due to
increased volume in the vehicle fleet as well as equipment financing at
Financial Services.

Other Expense for the second quarter of 1994 was $3.7 million compared to
Other Income of $848 thousand for the same period last year.  1994 includes
a loss on the sale of assets of $1.6 million and royalty and contract
payments of $.3 million as the primary components.

Costs of sales were $163.1 million (85.7% of sales) in the second quarter
of 1994, an increase of $17.3 million from $145.8 million (74.8% of sales)
during the same period in 1993.  The major reasons for these variances to
prior year are:  (1) increased R&D expenses of approximately $6.9 million
for new product development and (2) competition between contractors and a
revision of cost estimates of approximately $4.7 million at Automatic
Sprinkler.
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 16

Selling, General and Administrative expenses were $36.9 million (19.4% of
sales) for the second quarter of 1994, an increase of $2.4 million from
$34.5 million (17.7% of sales) in 1993.  Selling expenses were lower by $.8
million as compared with 1993.  General and Administrative expenses
increased by $3.2 million of which $3.7 million is due to legal and
professional fees as a direct result of debt restructuring and the defense
of lawsuits.

Interest expense during the second quarter of 1994 was $10.2 million as
compared to $8.3 million for the same period in 1993.  The increase in debt
and a rise in variable interest rates caused the increase.

The Consumer Products segment's operating profits for the second quarter of
1994 were $1.8 million compared to profits of $2.3 million for the same
period in 1993.  The profit from increased sales was mitigated by the cost
to establish and introduce new product lines.  Also, at Taylor, the 1994
effect of expensing world class conversion costs as incurred lowered
profits.

Fire and Safety Products segment's operating losses were $139 thousand for
the second quarter of 1994 as compared to operating profits of $6.4 million
during the same period in 1993.  The substantial decline in profits is
primarily at Automatic Sprinkler and is due to lower volume, increased
competition between contractors for fewer jobs, and revised estimates of
contract completion costs.  Fire Protection also adjusted a freight accrual
that reduced income.

The Machinery and Allied Products segment's operating profit for the second
quarter of 1994 was $674 thousand compared to an operating loss of $591
thousand for the same period in 1993.  Higher conversion costs at Packaging
Systems in 1993 caused the profit increases.
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 17

The Technical Products segment operating loss was $4.3 million for the
second quarter of 1994 as compared to an operating income of $6.6 million
for the same period in 1993.  Interstate Electronics profits declined due 
to substantial product R&D costs related to the Global Positioning System. 
Hartman has begun to stabilize and is showing improved performance; but it
remains unfavorable as compared to last year.

The Services segment operating profits were $520 thousand for the second
quarter of 1994 compared to $2.4 million for the same period in 1993.  The
decline in profits is due to higher financing costs at Financial Services.

General corporate expenses during the second quarter of 1994 were $13.0
million which is $5.0 million higher than the same period last year.  The
increase is primarily due to a $3.7 million increase in legal and
professional fees as a direct result of debt restructuring and defense of
lawsuits.

The Company reported restructuring costs associated with the consolidation
and modernization of production facilities, equipment, and support systems. 
The Company completed the major portion of this program in prior years; but
some work is still continuing.  Charges reflected in the second quarter of
1994 are $374 thousand when compared to $4.4 million for the same period
last year.

The loss from continuing operations before provisions for taxes amounted to
$24.7 million in the second quarter of 1994 compared to income of $803
thousand for the same period in 1993.

The net loss of $937 thousand from discontinued operations is comprised of
the second quarter 1994 results for Casi-Rusco and Fred Perry prior to being
discontinued.

The income tax benefit is 31.3% compared to a 42.1% tax rate during the same
period last year.

Financial Position and Liquidity


Receivables increased $3.1 million to $138.4 million and reflect a
combination of more aggressive collection efforts by the Company offset by
customers' holdbacks on contract retentions until completion and acceptance
of long-term projects.  Inventories decreased by $5.3 million, reflecting
the Company's concerted efforts to reduce inventory and concentrate on
purchasing only essential products during the period before the
restructuring.


As to cash flow, operations and working capital required $15.2 million and
capital expenditures, net of disposals, required $11.2 million which were
funded by short-term borrowings.


Liquidity is provided by the Company's cash and marketable securities,
ongoing operations, a $20 million facility secured by certain receivables
and a portion of divestiture proceeds.  As discussed in the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company completed a complex debt
restructuring, which was initiated in December, 1993 and completed July 29,
1994.  This new refinancing does not provide additional financing to the
Company; rather, it specifies repayment and other terms.  This refinancing
will allow the Company to develop a long-term capital structure reflective
of the restructured Company's longer-term financing requirements.


This debt restructuring principally consists of an override agreement with
its previously unsecured domestic and foreign lenders, incorporating 26
previous credit facilities into one, and a series of amended lease
agreements.  The agreement does not affect all of the Company's mortgage,
lease and credit arrangements, which the Company continues to service in
accordance with their respective terms.

                PART II.   OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    In two separate suits reported in the Company's 1993 Form 10-K Annual
    Report, three stockholders of the Company filed derivative complaints
    during 1993 in the Common Pleas Court of Lake County, Ohio seeking
    recovery on behalf of the Company for alleged self-dealing, waste of
    corporate assets, financial statement over-statements, gross
    mismanagement and participation or acquiescence in such practices by
    Directors of the Company, all of whom were named as defendants.  The
    Court consolidated the two suits and subsequently dismissed them with
    respect to all defendants.  The plaintiffs have appealed the Court's
    decision.   See also Footnote (4) of Notes to Consolidated Financial
