                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Plan Administrator of the
Lifeline Systems, Inc. Employee Savings
 and Investment Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Lifeline Systems, Inc. Employee Savings and Investment Plan (the
"Plan") as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of changes
in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as
of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in net assets available for plan
benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules listed in the
index on page 1 are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not
a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974.  The fund information in the statement of net assets available for plan
benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits
is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net
assets available for plan benefits and changes in net assets available for plan
benefits of each fund.  The supplemental schedules and fund information have
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

The investments held by the Plan are stated at current value as required for
presentation on Form 5500.  As explained in Note D to the financial statements,
the information provided by the custodian does not include the historical cost
of investments.  Therefore, the schedule of assets held for investment purposes
and the schedules of reportable transactions do not disclose the historical cost
of investments.  Disclosure of this information is required by the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

A.  Description of the Plan:
    ----------------------- 

    The following description of the Lifeline Systems, Inc. Employee Savings and
    Investment Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information.
    Participants should refer to the plan document for a more complete
    description of the Plan's provisions.

      General

      The Plan is a defined contribution profit-sharing plan covering all
      employees of Lifeline Systems, Inc. (the "Company") who work at least
      1,000 hours during the plan year.  Employees become eligible to
      participate on the entry date following six months of service.  The Plan
      was established in 1984 to provide participants an opportunity to defer
      taxes on their savings and is intended to be a "qualified cash or deferred
      arrangement" under certain sections of the Internal Revenue Code.  It is
      subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
      of 1974 (ERISA).

      Contributions

      Participants may contribute from 1% to 15% of their pay on a pretax basis
      subject to the annual dollar limits established by the Internal Revenue
      Service (IRS) and plan limitations.  Participants are immediately vested
      in their contributions and earnings thereon.  Rollover contributions from
      qualified 401(k) plans are also allowed.  Withdrawals are permitted as
      specified by IRS regulations.

      Employer contributions may vary from year to year in such amounts as have
      been voted by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.  For the
      years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company matched 100% of the
      first 2% contributed and 50% of the next 2% contributed up to a maximum of
      $250 per quarter, or $1,000 per year.

      Loans

      With the approval of the plan administrator, participants may borrow from
      their vested interest attributable to employee pre-tax, matching,
      discretionary, and rollover contributions.  The maximum amount that may be
      borrowed is 50% of a participant's vested interest or $50,000, whichever
      is less.  The minimum loan is $1,000.  The interest rate is fixed and will
      be equal to the prime rate plus one and one-half percent.  The maximum
      loan period is five years.  The interest rate charged on participant loans
      ranged from 10.00% to 10.50% in 1995 and 7.00% to 10.50% in 1994.

      Benefits and Withdrawals

      The Plan allows benefits to be paid in the form of a cash payment or an
      in-kind distribution for employees who invest in the Company Stock Fund.
      Several annuity options may be selected by participants (or their
      beneficiaries) with account balances exceeding $3,500 as of December 1,
      1990.

      The Plan also provides for a preretirement survivor annuity to
      participants of the Plan with account balances exceeding $3,500 as of
      December 1, 1990, which allows 100% of a married participant's benefits to
      be used to provide benefits to his/her spouse if the participant dies
      before benefit payments commence.  This provision may be waived once the
      participant reaches age 35 and obtains written consent from his/her
      spouse.  Benefits to participants not married who die before retirement
      will be distributed to designated beneficiaries.  No death benefits were
      paid in 1995 or 1994.

      Hardship withdrawals are allowed under the provisions of the Plan.

      Vesting

      Beginning in 1991, Plan participants are 100% vested in the value of their
      own contributions, rollovers and employer matching contributions.
      Previously, plan participants became vested in employer matching
      contributions over a three-year vesting schedule.  Prior to 1991,
      forfeitures were used by the Company to offset employer contributions.

      The Plan allows that, upon disability, normal retirement age or death, an
      employee is 100% vested in all contributions.

      In May 1995, when the Company acquired Tele-Response & Support Services,
      Inc., the Plan was amended.  An employee's months of service with Tele-
      Response were credited towards meeting the Company's service requirements
      for eligibility in the Plan.

      Investment Options

      Participants may invest in the following investment options at December
      31, 1995:

       . The Income Fund -

           Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company Group Annuity Contract.
           The interest rate is declared in advance and credited monthly.  The
           interest rate was 8.02% for the years ended December 31, 1995 and
           1994.

           Bankers Trust Company Pyramid Guaranteed Investment Contracts Fund -
           This fund invests in Guaranteed Investment Contracts and Bank
           Investment Contracts issued by life insurance companies or banks.
           The estimated range of returns for the fund is announced at the
           beginning of each year.  Interest is credited monthly.  The interest
           rate

          LIFELINE SYSTEMS, INC. EMPLOYEE SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED


           ranged from 5.91% to 6.14% and 5.90% to 6.50% for the years ended
           December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

       . Fidelity Balanced Fund - Funds are invested in shares of a registered
         investment company that invests in stocks and bonds.  This is a
         "moderate risk" mutual fund investing no greater than 75% of its assets
         in common stocks and no less than 25% in bonds.

       . Fidelity Asset Allocation Fund - Funds are invested in shares of a
         registered investment company that invests in stocks, bonds and short-
         term fixed income investments.  The assets will normally be invested
         within the following ranges:  10% - 60% in stocks; 20% - 60% in bonds;
         and 0 - 70% in short-term fixed income instruments.

       . Fidelity Blue Chip Growth Fund - Funds are invested in shares of a
         registered investment company that invests in stocks, seeking long-term
         earnings growth.  At least 65% of its assets are invested in the common
         stocks of large blue chip growth companies.

       . Lifeline Systems, Inc. Common Stock - The Plan was amended during 1993
         to permit plan participants to invest in the Company's common stock.
         The Plan's trustee purchases the stock on the open market.  For the
         year ended December 31, 1995, purchases and sales of Lifeline Systems,
         Inc. Common Stock amounted to $211,119 and $0, respectively.

     Participants may allocate their individual accounts among the five
     investment alternatives and may make transfers as specified in the plan
     document.  At December 31, 1995, there were 136 employees participating in
     the Income Fund, 110 employees participating in the Balanced Fund, 52
     employees participating in the Asset Allocation Fund, 148 employees
     participating in the Blue Chip Growth Fund, and 53 employees participating
     in the Stock Fund.  The Plan also has a Conduit Account which is invested
     with PNC Bank and is utilized as a "pass-through" holding account for
     employer and employee contributions. Funds are deposited into this account
     and allocated to other investment options based on participant's elections.

B.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
    ------------------------------------------ 

      Basis of Presentation

      The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared under the accrual
      basis of accounting and in conformity with generally accepted accounting
      principles.  Interest and dividend income is recorded as earned on the
      accrual basis.  Benefit payments are recorded when paid.

      Investment Valuation

      Investments in mutual and pooled funds and the Company's common stock are
      valued at fair market value using year-end closing prices.  Investments in
      group annuity contracts are valued at the contract value (see Note C).
      Participant loans are valued at cost which approximates fair value.

      The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets the net
      appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments which
      consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation
      (depreciation) on those investments.

      Contributions

      Contributions from the Company are accrued as of December 31 based upon
      the contribution formula.  Employee contributions are recorded in the
      period in which the employee payroll deductions are made.

      Expenses

      All administrative expenses and fees are paid by the Company except for
      loan fees which are paid by the Plan.

      Estimates

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
      accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
      assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
      disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
      financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses
      during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those
      estimates.

      Reclassifications

      Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the
      current year's presentation.



C. Investment Contracts with Insurance Company and Bank:
   ---------------------------------------------------- 

   In 1991, the Plan entered into an investment contract with Massachusetts
   Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Mass Mutual").  This investment is maintained
   in a pooled account.  The account is credited with earnings on the underlying
   investments and charged for plan withdrawals and administrative expenses.
   The contract is included in the financial statements at contract value, which
   approximates fair value, as reported to the Plan by Mass Mutual.  Contract
   value represents contributions made under the contract, plus earnings, less
   plan withdrawals and administrative expenses.  Withdrawals are allowed under
   the terms of the contract.  The withdrawal method used for administrative
   purposes is the Current Contract Pro Rata Withdrawal Method.

                                   Continued

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED


   In January 1992 the Plan entered into an investment agreement with Bankers
   Trust Company to enter into the Bankers Trust Pyramid Guaranteed Investment
   Contracts Fund, a separate pooled fund established and managed by Bankers
   Trust Company.  The Fund invests primarily in Guaranteed Investment Contracts
   ("GICs") and Bank Investment Contracts issued by life insurance companies,
   banks or other financial institutions, and any of the Bankers Trust
   Commingled short-term investments funds.  The Fund's assets are valued at
   fair market value, provided, however, assets for which there is no readily
   ascertainable market value are valued at fair value determined in good faith
   by the Trustee of the Fund.  The Fund expects to maintain a constant unit
   value of $1.00.  Withdrawals are permitted and are subject to a deferred
   payout schedule which may have an average maturity of no greater than 2.5
   years and a final payment no later than 5 years from the receipt of such
   notice by the Trustee of the Fund.

F.   Tax Status:
     ----------

     The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a
     letter dated July 10, 1995 that the Plan and related trust are designed in
     accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The
     Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However,
     the plan administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is
     designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable
     requirements of the IRC.

G.   Plan Termination:
     ----------------

     The Company intends to continue the Plan indefinitely but reserves the
     right to terminate the Plan at any time without any liability whatsoever
     for such discontinuance or termination. After payment of expenses by the
     trustee, the Plan would be liquidated and each participant would receive
     his or her interest in the form of a lump-sum payment.
