             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY:

     Griffin's current policy of selling its new card reading
terminals and various other equipment with an optional service
contract has had a material effect on the Statement of Cash Flows
for the nine months ended March 31, 1995.  Net cash provided by
operating activities amounted to $1,491,000 in 1995 compared with
$4,521,600 one year ago as a result of a decrease in net income
and unearned service fees of $450,000 and $350,000, respectively.
During the first nine months a comparison of activity between
1994 and 1995 reflects an increase in accounts receivable,
inventory and other miscellaneous deferred costs of $1,990,000.

     The change in policy has also had a significant impact on
working capital.  As of March 31, 1995, working capital amounted
to $3,204,000 compared to $408,100 at March 31, 1994.  The
increase in accounts receivable and inventories resulted in
$1,200,000 additional monies being borrowed in 1995 under the
Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement.  As of May 11,
1995, borrowings under the agreement amounted to $6,150,000 with
$1,000,000 of additional monies available.  Management believes
these funds, and those projected from cash flow from operations,
will be adequate to support future operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995, AS COMPARED TO
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994

     Griffin's net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 1995,
amounted to $110,000, or $.05 per share compared to net income of
$15,700, or $.01 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 1994.
Total revenues for the quarter were up 5%, which is the same
percentage increase as the previous quarter.  The sales pattern
reported in the first and second quarters continued to affect the
total revenue mix.  Once again, the policy to sell various system
equipment resulted in a 6% decrease in service fees and a 70%
increase in net sales for the third quarter.  The increase came
entirely from vending and card reader terminal sales.

     Costs and expenses for the three months ended March 31,
1995, increased $377,400 over the quarter ended March 31, 1994.
Approximately $250,000 is in cost of sales and related to
equipment sales described above, and $75,000 is related to
service costs associated with the new POS systems sold.

     Interest expense during the third quarter of Fiscal 1995
increased $47,700 due to a higher average balance of long-term
debt outstanding of $835,000 and an increase of 2 1/2% in the
average annual rate of interest paid as compared with the same
period one year ago.

NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995, AS COMPARED TO
THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994

     Net earnings for the nine months ended March 31, 1995,
amounted to $73,200, or $.03 per share, compared to $527,800, or
$.22 per share, for the same period one year ago.

     Several factors caused service fee revenues to decrease by
$570,400 during the first nine months of Fiscal 1995.  These
include competitive pressures and associated pricing and
customers' taking advantage of Griffin's new policy of selling
card reader terminals and systems rather than leasing them.  The
latter caused an increase in net sales for the 1995 period of
$1,005,600, or 41%.

     Costs and expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 1995,
increased $1,079,900 over the first nine months of Fiscal 1994.
Approximately $500,000 is related to cost of sales associated
with the net sales increase.  Costs related to realignment of
sales and marketing functions and housing information systems
division amounting to $280,000 occurred during the first two
quarters.  The increase in service costs is related to
management's realignment of certain of these functions and higher
than expected costs for changing Griffin's method of selling its
system equipment.

     Interest expense increased $119,300 over 1994.  As a result
of the additional monies required for borrowing, as described
above, the average balance outstanding was up $700,000, and the
annual rate of interest paid increased 2%.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     Results for the period ended March 31 are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for the year because
Griffin's sales generally reach a seasonal peak during the months
of July through September and again during the months of April
through June.

     The Company is involved in developing a plan for the
environmental clean-up of a solvent formerly used in the
manufacture of its photo identification cards.  Although the
level of future expenditures for environmental matters, including
clean-up obligations, is impossible to determine with any degree
of certainty, it is management's opinion that when the costs are
finally determined, they will not have a material adverse effect
on the financial position of the Company.

     Information furnished reflects all adjustments which are, in
the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of
results for interim periods presented.  All such adjustments are
of a normal recurring nature.

     Net income per share was computed on the basis of the
weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares
outstanding during each period.  The common equivalent shares
represent shares contingently issuable under Griffin's stock
option plan.  Common stock equivalents were not included in the
computation of the per share loss amount for the quarter ended
March 31, 1995, because the result would have been anti-
dilutive.
