                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. The information furnished has been prepared from the accounts without audit.
   In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying consolidated financial
   statements contain all adjustments necessary, consisting only of those of a
   normal recurring nature, to present fairly its consolidated financial
   position as of September 30, 1995 and the consolidated results of its
   operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30,
   1995 and 1994.

   While the Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to
   make the information not misleading, these statements should be read in
   conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes
   included in the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended
   December 31, 1994.

   The results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 1995
   are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

3. In May, 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of Tele-Response &
   Support Services, Inc. of Raynham, Massachusetts, an affiliate of Martha's
   Vineyard Hospital Foundation of Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts.  Tele-Response was
   a distributor of Lifeline's response monitoring services.  The purchase price
   was approximately $1,000,000 of which $900,000 was paid at the closing, and
   the remainder paid during the third quarter of 1995.  The acquisition was
   accounted for as a purchase transaction, and, as a result, the Company
   recorded goodwill of approximately $631,000 which is being amortized over the
   estimated life of seven years.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
   The results of the acquired business have been included in the Company's
   consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition.  The
   Company does not expect the acquisition to have a material impact on its 1995
   operating results.

4. In connection with the September, 1993 acquisition of Carepartners, Inc., the
   Company issued a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's common
   stock at $4.78 per share.  In September 1995, an agreement was entered into
   whereby the Company, in exchange for payment of $539,000, received the right,
   title and interest in and to the warrant, including the ability to exercise
   all the shares issued as part of the warrant.  The price paid for the warrant
   approximated the fair market value and therefore the purchase was recorded as
   a reduction of retained earnings.


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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Total revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 were $11,416,000, 19%
higher than total revenues of $9,573,000 earned for the quarter ended September
30, 1994.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, total revenues
increased 21% to $32,207,000 compared with $26,508,000 for the same period in
1994.

Service revenues for the third quarter of 1995 increased by 39% to $5,033,000,
compared with $3,617,000 for the third quarter of 1994.  For the nine  months
ended September 30, 1995, service revenues were $13,459,000, 32% higher than the
$10,194,000 recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 1994.  With the
May, 1995 acquisition of Tele-Response and Support Services, Inc. and overall
growth in the number of monitored subscribers, the Company continues to
transition to a service-oriented recurring revenue business.  This transition
also includes the conversion of subscribers from existing self-monitored health
care provider programs to Lifeline Central(TM).

Product sales increased 10% for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 to
$6,056,000  from $5,510,000 for the comparable period in 1994.  For the nine
months ended September 30, 1995, product sales were $17,705,000, an increase of
19% from the $14,865,000 reported for the nine months ended September 30, 1994.
These increases were attributable to health care providers increasing the volume
of the Communicator Plus(TM) product purchased as they continue to upgrade their
existing inventory of older products, plus higher accessory sales relating to
the wide acceptance of the Slimline(TM) button introduced in the third quarter
of 1994. Also, the introduction of the new CarePartner(TM) product in the third
quarter of 1995 contributed to the positive results. This enhanced communicator
model is designed to incorporate the latest technology. The product utilizes
digitized speech technology, called VoiceAssist(TM), which clarifies alarm
messages and instructs users in a friendly reassuring manner. While product
sales during 1995 continue to be strong, the Company's ability to sustain the
current level of product sales growth in the long run depends upon its ability
to expand the market for its personal response services. The Company believes
that its new products will be a supporting factor in meeting this challenge.

Finance and rental income, representing income earned from the Company's
portfolio of sales-type leases, decreased by 27% to $327,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1995 from $446,000 for the same period in 1994.  For
the nine months ended September 30, 1995, finance and rental income decreased by
$406,000 to $1,043,000 compared with $1,449,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1994.  The decline is due to the overall aging of the lease
portfolio in addition to a 1994 arrangement to direct new lease activity to a
third party leasing agent.

                                      -7-
<PAGE>
 
Cost of sales was 35% of product sales for the third quarter of 1995, a
significant improvement from 41% for the third quarter of 1994.  For the nine
months ended September 30, 1995, cost of sales represented 37% of product sales
compared with 40% for the nine months ended September 30, 1994.  The improvement
is a result of higher costs in 1994 associated with the introduction of the
Communicator Plus(TM) product, coupled with a higher selling price in 1995 for
the Slimline(TM) button. Also, continued production efficiencies, resulting from
an increased volume of shipments in 1995, have had a favorable impact, but may
not repeat at the same level.

Cost of services, as a percentage of service revenue, improved to 40% for the
third quarter of 1995 from 42% for the third quarter of 1994. For the nine
months ended September 30, 1995, cost of services decreased to 39% of service
revenues compared with 43% for the comparable period in 1994.  The improvement
is attributable to continued operating efficiencies achieved with the higher
subscriber volume. Also, in 1994, the higher operating expenses associated with
the Communicall business were significantly reduced during 1995 by integrating
its monitoring center and management and administrative functions at the
Company's headquarters.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were 48% of total revenues for the
three months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to 47% for the same period in
1994. For the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, selling, general
and administrative expenses were 49% of total revenues.  As the Company
continues to expand its service offerings, which are designed to optimize the
strengths of our local Lifeline programs, expenditures related to employee
training programs, customer satisfaction, and sales and marketing strategies
remain high.  Management and administrative expenses associated with projects
undertaken to strengthen the business also occurred.  For the remainder of the
year, selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to remain stable
or improve slightly as a percentage of total revenues.

For both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1995, research and
development expenses were 4% of revenues compared with 5% for the same periods
in 1994.  Research and development efforts are focused on ongoing product
improvements and technological enhancements.  The Company intends to maintain
1995 research and development expenses, as a percentage of total revenues, at
approximately the same level as in the first nine months of the year.

The Company's effective tax rate was 42% for the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Company's cash and cash
equivalents increased  $3,300,000 to $12,900,000 at September 30, 1995 from
$9,600,000 at December 31, 1994.  The increase in cash was provided by
profitable operations and $2,400,000 received from the Company's existing lease
portfolio, combined with the timing of the payment of accounts payable and
accrued expenses.  Offsetting these favorable changes was $2,000,000 utilized to
purchase property and equipment for use in the operations of the business and in
the development and manufacture of products and services.  Additionally, in
September, 1995, the Company paid $539,000 under an agreement to receive the
right, title and interest in and to the warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of
the Company's common stock, which was issued in connection with the acquisition
of Carepartners, Inc. in September, 1993.

In May, 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of Tele-Response & Support
Services, Inc. of Raynham, Massachusetts.  Tele-Response was a distributor of
Lifeline's response monitoring services.  The purchase price was approximately
$1,000,000 of which $900,000 was paid at the closing, and the remainder paid in
the third quarter of 1995.  The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase
transaction, and, as a result, the Company recorded goodwill of approximately
$631,000 which is being amortized over the estimated life of seven years.  The
results of the acquired business have been included in the Company's
consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition.  The Company
does not expect the acquisition to have a material impact on its 1995 operating
results.

In October, 1993, the Company's Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up
to 300,000 shares of the Company's stock from time to time in the open market
for general corporate purposes, including shares for use in connection with the
employee stock option plans and stock purchase plans.  Of the 300,000 shares
approved, the Company has purchased 187,000 shares, excluding warrants,  through
September 30, 1995.  No shares were purchased during the first nine months of
1995.

Given the Company's current cash, cash equivalents and revenue levels, funding
requirements for operations and in support of future growth are expected to be
met primarily from existing cash balances and funds generated from operations.
The Company currently believes that cash provided from these sources will be
sufficient to meet its operating and investing requirements, including any
potential acquisitions.
