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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Total revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 were $9.7 million, an
increase of 21% compared with the total revenues of $8.0 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1994.  

Service revenues grew 24% to $4.0 million for the first quarter of 1995 from
$3.2 million for the first quarter of 1994.  The growth is due to an increased
recurring revenue base, attributable to the continued increase in the number of
the Company's monitored subscribers.  The subscribers resulted from additional
conversions to Lifeline Central of health care providers' programs that had
been locally monitored, as well as from increased numbers served by health care
providers that already use Lifeline Central.

Product sales increased 24% to $5.3 million for the three months ended March
31, 1995 from $4.3 million for the same period in 1994.  The growth in the
current quarter is attributable to an increase in the volume of communicator
products sold as the CommuniCator Plus/TM/, introduced during 1994, continues to
be well received by the Company's customer base of health care providers.  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 the CommuniCator Plus and other new
products will be a factor in meeting this challenge.

Finance and rental income, representing income earned from the Company's
portfolio of sales-type leases, decreased $151,000 to $386,000 for the first
quarter of 1995 from $537,000 for the 1994 quarter.  The decline is due to the
overall aging of the lease portfolio as well as to the arrangement, entered
into in 1994, to direct new lease activity to a third party leasing agent.

Cost of sales was 39% of product sales for the three months ended March 31,
1995, compared with 37% for the same period a year ago.  The increase is due to
ongoing higher overhead expenses in the Company's new facility, which it
occupied in April 1994.  

Cost of services improved as a percentage of service revenues, to 40% for
the first quarter of 1995 from 43% for the first quarter of 1994.  The
improvement is attributable to operating efficiencies achieved with the higher
subscriber volume as well as to cost savings that resulted from the integration
of the acquired CommuniCall business, which was relocated to the Company's
headquarters in the third quarter of 1994.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 14% to $4.8 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1995 from $4.2 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1994. The primary reasons for the increase were higher
spending associated with sales and marketing strategies aimed at the health
care channel and related referral networks as well as ongoing higher rent and
building expenses in the new facility. As a percentage of total revenues,
however, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 50% for the
current quarter from 53% in the 1994 period.  

Research and development expenses increased $53,000 to $411,000 for the
first quarter of 1995 from $358,000 for the same period a year ago, due to
ongoing product development efforts.  As a percentage of  total revenues,
research and development remained constant at 4% for each period.

The Company's effective tax rate was 42% for the three months ended March
31, 1995 and 1994.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the three months ended March 31, 1995 the Company's cash and cash
equivalents increased $1.3 million to $10.9 million at March 31, 1995 from $9.6
million at December 31, 1994.  The increase in cash resulted from positive cash
flows from profitable operations, including payments of $.9 million received
from the Company's portfolio of sales-type leases, as well as cash received
from the assignment of new leases to a third-party leasing agent.  Offsetting
these favorable changes was $.6 million paid in the first quarter for sales and
management bonuses relating to 1994 performance.  In addition, for the three
months ended March 31, 1995, the Company used $.8 million to purchase property
and equipment for use in the development and manufacture of its products and
services.

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 employee stock option plans and stock purchase plans.  Of the 300,000
shares approved, the Company has purchased 187,000 shares through March 31,
1995.  No shares were purchased during the first quarter of 1995.

Given the Company's current cash and 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 anticipated acquisitions, and fund any stock buyback through at 
least 1995.
