               NORTH PITTSBURGH SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
             NOTE TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)     GENERAL
        -------

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared by the Registrant, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Consolidated herein are the
financial results of the Registrant's wholly-owned subsidiaries, North
Pittsburgh Telephone Company, Penn Telecom, Inc., and Pinnatech, Inc.  Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Nevertheless, the
Registrant believes that its disclosures herein are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading and, in the opinion of management, all
adjustments (which consisted only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to
present fairly the results of operations for the interim periods have been
reflected.  It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes
thereto included in the Registrant's latest annual report to the Securities and
Exchange Commission on Form 10-K.


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


1.  Financial Condition
    -------------------

 (a) General
     -------

There were no material changes in the Registrant's consolidated general
financial condition from the end of its preceding fiscal year on December 31,
1994 to March 31, 1995, the end of the three-month period reported herein.


 (b) Liquidity and Capital Resources
     -------------------------------

Consolidated capital expenditure commitments for the purchase and installation
of communications and other equipment at March 31, 1995 amounted to
approximately $3,127,000 with such amount being part of the 1995 Construction
Program.  Funds for financing construction expenditures in the three-month
period ended March 31, 1995 were generated from internal sources.  In the
foreseeable future, based on projected construction budgets and cash flows,
North Pittsburgh Telephone Company anticipates financing all telephone plant
construction from cash reserves and internally generated funds.  At March 31,
1995,  construction work in progress is $5,216,000.  An additional $8,281,000
will be  expended to complete these projects.

The Registrant and its subsidiaries have not experienced any difficulty in the
past meeting either long-term or short-term cash commitments.  Cash flow
generated through regular operations has been adequate to not only finance the
capital requirements of the Registrant as discussed in the previous paragraph
but also to meet principal and interest payments on long-term debt and all
working capital requirements.  It is anticipated that future long-term interest
and principal payments will be made from the same source of internally generated
funds.

2.  Results of Operations
    ---------------------


Total operating revenues increased $206,000 (1.7%) in the three-month period
ended March 31, 1995, over the comparable period in 1994.  This change was due
to increases in long distance and access services of $360,000 (4.0%), local
network services of $92,000 (5.4%) offset by a decrease in telecommunications
equipment sales of $319,000 (39.4%).  Higher long distance and access service
revenues were generally the result of an increase in the number of customers and
in minutes of use.  However, the rate of growth of revenues slowed in 1995 as
compared to 1994 due to the expansion in the first quarter of 1995 of an
optional flat rated calling plan to meet customer calling needs.  Increased
local network service revenues were attributable to customer growth.  The
decrease in telecommunications equipment sales reflects a decrease in the number
of systems sold in 1995 as compared to 1994.

Total operating expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 1995,
increased $30,000 (.38%) over the preceding year.  That change is principally
the result of an increase in network and other operating expenses of $426,000
(9.3%) offset by a decrease in  telecommunication equipment expenses of $333,000
(43.0%).  The increase in network and other operating expenses is the result of
expanded operations to serve customer growth as noted above.  In addition,
increased computer software expenditures related to call processing and
increased marketing expenses associated with the expansion of the optional
calling plan discussed above, along with increased community awareness
advertising campaigns account for the overall increases.  The decrease in
telecommunication equipment expenses is related to the decrease in equipment
sales discussed above.  The increase in total operating revenues discussed above
coupled with a smaller increase in total operating expenses resulted in a 4%
increase in net operating revenues in 1995 as compared to the same period in
1994.

Other expense (income), net, for the three-month period declined $161,000
(61.2%) compared to the preceding year.  Interest income increased $187,000
(105.1%) due to the recognition of unrealized losses on marketable securities in
1994.

The increase in net operating revenues for the three-month period ended March
31, 1995, in conjunction with the decline in other expense (income), net,
resulted in an increase of $337,000 (8.2%) in earnings before income taxes.
