ITEM 1.     CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(i)         BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
incorporate the financial statements of ADT Limited ("ADT"), a company
incorporated in Bermuda, and its subsidiaries (the "Company") and have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States. Accordingly, these unaudited interim consolidated
financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles for annual consolidated financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary
for fair presentation have been included; all such adjustments are of a normal,
recurring nature, except for the acquisition of Automated Security (Holdings)
PLC ("ASH") as discussed in note (ii), and except as discussed in note (iv)
where, effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 121, and except for the acquisition of Alert Centre,
Inc. ("Alert") as discussed in note (xi). The preparation of consolidated
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. Certain figures at December 31, 1995 and for the nine months and
three months ended September 30, 1995 have been reclassified to conform to the
1996 presentation. In particular, corporate expenses have been reclassified
from other income less expenses to a separate component of operating income.
This reclassification has had no net effect on the reported earnings for income
before income taxes and net income. Results of operations for the nine months
and three months ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 1996. For
further information, see the Company's consolidated financial statements,
including the accounting policies and notes thereto, included in the Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. ADT Limited is a
holding company with no independent business operations or assets other than
its investment in its subsidiaries, intercompany balances and holdings of cash
and cash equivalents. ADT Limited's businesses are conducted through its
subsidiaries.

(ii)        ACQUISITION OF AUTOMATED SECURITY (HOLDINGS) PLC

In September 1996 ADT acquired the whole of the issued capital of ASH, a United
Kingdom company. Under the terms of the transaction, ASH shareholders received
3 ADT common shares for every 92 ASH ordinary shares, 2 ADT common shares for
every 31 ASH 5 per cent convertible cumulative redeemable preference shares and
2 ADT common shares for every 31 ASH 6 per cent convertible cumulative
redeemable preference shares. The total consideration in respect of the whole
of the issued capital of ASH consisted of the issue of 7,034,940 ADT common
shares.

ASH is engaged in the provision of electronic security services in North
America and Europe. The acquisition of ASH by ADT has been accounted for by
means of the pooling of interests method of accounting pursuant to Opinion No.
16 of the Accounting Principles Board. The pooling of interests method of
accounting assumes that the combining companies have been merged from their
inception, and the historical consolidated financial statements for periods
prior to consummation of the merger are restated as

(ii)     ACQUISITION OF AUTOMATED SECURITY (HOLDINGS) PLC  (continued)

though the companies have been combined from their inception. Accordingly, the
accompanying consolidated financial statements give effect to the transaction
by means of a pooling of interests.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with (a) ADT's consolidated financial statements, including
the accounting policies and notes thereto, included in the Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995, (b) ASH's consolidated
financial statements, including the accounting policies and notes thereto,
included in the Registrant's Current Report dated September 5, 1996 on Form
8-K/A-1 filed October 21, 1996 and (c) the Registrant's Current Report dated
September 5, 1996 on Form 8-K/A-2 filed November 12, 1996.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in United States dollars in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States. The consolidated financial
statements of ASH have previously been presented in pounds sterling, ASH's
functional currency. For the purposes of the accompanying unaudited interim
consolidated financial statements, ASH's consolidated financial statements have
been translated into United States dollars at the appropriate exchange rates.
In addition, ASH's financial year end is November 30, with appropriate
quarterly period ends of February 28, May 31, and August 31. It is these
periods which have been used to give effect to the pooling of interests with
ADT without adjustment. Certain figures at December 31, 1995 and for the nine
months and three months ended September 30, 1995 have been reclassified to
conform to the 1996 presentation. In addition, certain figures of ASH for all
periods presented have been reclassified to conform to the ADT presentation.

Combined and separate results of ADT and ASH for the periods preceding the
merger were as follows:

(vi)        OTHER INCOME LESS EXPENSES

During the nine months ended September 30, 1996 other income less expenses
included non-recurring net gains of $1.2 million (note (x)) (1995 - $5.1
million net losses) relating to the disposal of investment in associates.

During the three months ended September 30, 1995 other income less expenses
included non-recurring net gains of $1.6 million relating to the disposal of
investment in associates.

(vii)       EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS

In September 1996 the Company repaid in full all amounts owed by the ASH group
under its senior notes and existing bank credit agreement, which was financed
from cash on hand and loans drawn under the revolving bank credit agreement.
Extraordinary items included the loss arising on repayment of $4.2 million and
the write off of net unamortized deferred refinancing costs of $0.4 million
relating to the early extinguishment of all amounts outstanding under the
senior notes and bank credit agreement owed by the ASH group, with no
consequential tax effect.

During the second quarter of 1996 and the third quarter of 1995 the Company

million relating to the early extinguishment of all amounts outstanding under

(viii)      EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

The calculation of primary (loss) earnings per common share in the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 was based on the weighted average of 136,823,772 (1995
- - 137,813,540) common shares in issue during the period, which in 1996 did not
allow for the allotment of common shares under executive share option schemes,
which are considered common stock equivalents, because their effect was
anti-dilutive as a consequence of the net loss for the period. Common stock
equivalents included in the weighted average number of common shares in issue
during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was 2,554,132. Primary (loss)
earnings per common share was based on adjusted net loss of $657.7 million
(1995 - $52.6 million net income).

allotment of common shares under executive share option schemes and the full
conversion rights attaching to non-voting exchangeable shares which are

(x)         INVESTMENT IN AND LOANS TO ASSOCIATE

In February 1996, the Company disposed of its entire interest in Shareholder
Loan Notes with an issue price of $13.9 million and valued by the Company at
$13.3 million and 33.1 per cent of the ordinary share capital of ITS valued by
the Company at $0.9 million, for an aggregate cash consideration of $15.4
million. The net gain arising on the transaction amounted to $1.2 million which
was included in other income less expenses (note (vi)).

As a result of the above transaction, the Company now holds a 10.0 per cent
interest in the ordinary share capital of ITS, valued by the Company at a
nominal amount, together with the Vendor Note, which at September 30, 1996 is
disclosed as a long-term investment amounting to $81.8 million.

(xi)        MINORITY INTERESTS

In February 1996, following approval by Alert's shareholders, Alert was merged
into the Company and, as a result, those shares then held by the minority
shareholders and not owned by the Company were converted into the right to
receive in cash the price paid per share by the Company in the initial tender
offer. Accordingly, the minority interest outstanding at December 31, 1995 has
been eliminated.

LONG-TERM DEBT - NON-AFFILIATES
Under the terms of the indenture governing the ADT Operations, Inc. senior
subordinated notes a payment blockage prevents ADT Operations, Inc. and its
guarantor subsidiaries and ADT Limited from making any payment of principal,
interest or premium on the senior subordinated notes and from purchasing,
redeeming or otherwise acquiring any senior subordinated notes during the
continuance of any payment blockage period. No payment blockage is currently in
effect.

At September 30, 1996, ADT Operations, Inc. had $381.2 million of Senior
Indebtedness comprised of $50.0 million of Senior Indebtedness related to loans
under the revolving bank credit agreement, $81.2 million of Senior Indebtedness
related to letters of credit issued under the terms of the revolving bank
credit agreement and $250.0 million of Senior Indebtedness related to the
Senior Notes, (in each case as defined in the Senior Subordinated Note
Indenture).

At September 30, 1996, ADT Limited had no Guarantor Senior Indebtedness (as
defined in the Senior Note Indenture, but excluding Indebtedness in respect of
guarantees issued by ADT Limited of debt of ADT Operations, Inc. or its
subsidiaries). At September 30, 1996, the subsidiary guarantors had $47.6
million of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Senior Note
Indenture), in each case ranking pari passu in right of payment with the Senior
Note Guarantees.

All of the subsidiary guarantors under the senior notes and the revolving bank
credit agreement are direct or indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of ADT
Operations, Inc. Separate financial statements and other disclosures for the
subsidiary guarantors are not included herein because the subsidiary guarantors
have guaranteed the senior notes on a joint and several basis, the aggregate
assets, liabilities, earnings and equity of the subsidiary guarantors are
substantially equivalent to the assets, liabilities, earnings and equity of ADT
Operations, Inc. on a consolidated basis and such separate financial statements
and other disclosures are not considered material to investors.

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

ELECTRONIC SECURITY SERVICES - RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1995

Net sales of the division, which represented approximately 82 per cent of the
Company's consolidated net sales, increased 4.3 per cent in 1996 to $1,038.8
million from $996.3 million in 1995. This sales increase was attributable to an
increase of $83.0 million in the sales of the North American operations offset
by a $40.5 million decline in the sales of the European operations, which was
due to the exclusion of sales of the European electronic article surveillance 
operation and certain businesses operating in the ASH group, all of which were 
disposed of during 1995. In North America the increase in sales was due to the 
first time inclusion of the sales of Alert which was acquired in December 1995,
as well as increased recurring monitoring and maintenance revenues arising 
from a larger base of residential security systems. Although unit residential 
security systems sales in North America increased in 1996 compared to 1995, 
due to price competition in the market place, residential installation 
revenues in North America showed a modest decline in 1996 compared with 1995. 
The commercial business in the United States experienced modest growth in new 
system sales and installation revenues, and growth in recurring commercial 
revenues continues to be affected by these factors. In Europe, after allowing 
for business disposals, sales showed a modest increase in 1996 compared with 
1995.

Operating results of the division declined from $139.0 million income in 1995
to a $572.6 million loss in 1996, due to a charge for the impairment of
long-lived assets of $731.7 million.

Operating income of the division before the charge for the impairment of
long-lived assets increased 14.5 per cent in 1996 to $159.1 million from $139.0
million in 1995. Operating income before the charge for the impairment of
long-lived assets as a percentage of net sales ("Operating margin") increased
to 15.3 per cent in 1996 from 14.0 per cent in 1995.  The increase in operating
income before the charge for the impairment of long-lived assets principally 
reflected the first time inclusion of Alert, the disposal of the European 
electronic article surveillance operation in November 1995, and the continuing 
success of the North American residential security system sales program, which 
has achieved further advances in recurring revenues in 1996. However, this 
improvement has been offset by continued price competition, which has caused 
the contribution from residential installation revenues and outright 
residential sales to show a modest decline, and by increased marketing and
selling costs.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

Net sales of the division, which represented approximately 83 per cent of the
Company's consolidated net sales for the quarter, increased 5.2 per cent in
1996 to $355.0 million from $337.5 million in the third quarter of 1995. This
sales increase was attributable to an increase of $28.2 million in the sales of
the North American operations offset by a $10.7 million decline in the sales of
the European operations, which was due to the exclusion of sales of the
European electronic article surveillance operation and certain businesses
operating in the ASH group, all of which were disposed of during 1995. In North
America the increase in sales was due to the first time inclusion of the sales
of Alert which was acquired in December 1995, as well as increased recurring
monitoring and maintenance revenues arising from a larger base of residential
security systems. Although unit residential security systems sales in North
America increased in the third quarter of 1996 compared with the third quarter
of 1995, due to price competition in the market place, residential

            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

installation revenues in North America showed a modest decline in the third
quarter of 1996 compared with 1995. The commercial business in the United
States remained flat in installation revenues, and there was a modest increase
in new system sales, and growth in recurring commercial revenues continues to be
affected by these factors. In Europe, after allowing for business disposals,
sales showed a modest increase in 1996 compared with 1995.

Operating income of the division increased 5.0 per cent in 1996 to $52.5
million from $50.0 million in the third quarter of 1995. Operating margin
remained flat at 14.8 per cent in the third quarter of 1996 compared to the
third quarter of 1995. The continuing success in North America of the
residential security systems sales program and the related increase in
recurring revenues were offset by increased marketing, selling and service 
costs, and by continued price competition, which has caused the contribution
from residential installation revenues and outright residential sales to show a
modest decline.

VEHICLE AUCTION SERVICES - RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1995

Net sales of the vehicle auction services division declined from $329.5 million
in 1995 to $222.8 million in 1996 due to the exclusion of the sales of 
European Auctions which was sold in December 1995.

Net sales of the United States vehicle auction services business, which
represented approximately 18 per cent of the Company's consolidated net sales,
increased 8.3 per cent in 1996 to $222.8 million from $205.8 million in 1995.
The volume of vehicles sold increased by approximately 6 per cent which was
principally due to an increase in the volume of vehicles sold for fleet lease
customers of approximately 34 per cent, while the volume of vehicles sold for
vehicle manufacturers and new and used vehicle dealers declined by
approximately 9 per cent and approximately 1 per cent, respectively.

Operating results of the division declined from $60.2 million in 1995 to $20.4
million in 1996 due to a charge for the impairment of long-lived assets of
$13.0 million and the exclusion of the operating income of European Auctions.

Operating income before the charge for the impairment of long-lived assets of
the United States vehicle auction services business increased to $33.4 million
in 1996 from $29.6 million in 1995. Operating margin increased to 15.0 per cent
in 1996 from 14.4 per cent in 1995. The increases in operating income and
Operating margin were due principally to the increase in volume of vehicles 
sold and to an increase in the ratio of vehicles sold to vehicles entered for 
sale to approximately 57 per cent in 1996 from approximately 56 per cent in
1995 which was due to a higher proportion of vehicles entered for sale by fleet 
lease customers.

            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

Net sales of the vehicle auction services division declined from $106.5 million
in 1995 to $72.9 million in 1996 due to the exclusion of the sales of European 
Auctions which was sold in December 1995.

Net sales of the United States vehicle auction services business, which
represented approximately 17 per cent of the Company's consolidated net sales
for the quarter, increased 9.0 per cent in 1996 to $72.9 million from $66.9
million in the third quarter of 1995. The volume of vehicles sold increased by
approximately 7 per cent which was principally due to an increase in the volume
of vehicles sold for fleet lease customers of approximately 31 per cent, while
the volume of vehicles sold for vehicle manufacturers and new and used vehicle
dealers declined by approximately 5 per cent and approximately 3 per cent,
respectively.

Operating results of the division declined from $17.2 million in 1995 to $9.7
million in 1996 due to the exclusion of the operating income of European
Auctions. 

Operating income of the United States vehicle auction services business
increased to $9.7 million in 1996 from $8.4 million in the third quarter of
1995. Operating margin increased to 13.3 per cent in 1996 from 12.6 per cent in
1995.  The increases in operating income and Operating margin were due
principally to the increase in the volume of vehicles sold.

The Company announced on November 6, 1996 that it intends to sell its vehicle
auction operations in the United States in order to further concentrate on the
expansion of the Company's electronic security services business.

During the nine months and three months ended September 30, 1996 interest
income included $6.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively, relating to the
ITS Vendor Note.

Interest expense declined in 1996, principally due to the effects of the
refinancing which took place in the third quarter of 1995. During the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 interest expense included $15.1 million (1995 -
$4.6 million) relating to Liquid Yield Option Notes discount amortization, $1.5
million (1995 - $0.8 million) relating to yield maintenance amortization -
senior notes and $2.8 million (1995 - $4.4 million) relating to refinancing
costs amortization. During the three months ended September 30, 1996 interest
expense included $5.1 million (1995 - $4.6 million) relating to Liquid Yield
Option Notes discount

amortization, $0.5 million (1995 - $0.3 million) relating to yield maintenance
amortization - senior notes and $0.9 million (1995 - $1.4 million) relating to
refinancing costs amortization.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The net decrease in cash and cash equivalents amounted to $209.1 million, after
the negative effect of currency translation on cash and cash equivalents of
$0.5 million. Net cash of $233.0 million provided by operating activities was
offset by net cash utilized by investing activities of $278.7 million and
$162.9 million utilized by financing activities.

Net cash provided by operating activities of $233.0 million principally
included cash provided by the Company's electronic security services and
vehicle auction services divisions less other expenses and adjusted for the net
increase in working capital. Within the net increase of $39.5 million in
working capital, net increases in accounts receivable of $65.6 million and
other assets of $7.9 million were offset by a net increase in liabilities of
$34.0 million, principally relating to increases in accounts payable and
deferred revenue and a decrease in other liabilities.  The movements in
accounts receivable and accounts payable were principally due to the timing of
cash receipts and payments in the vehicle auction business in respect of
vehicle sales which took place in the latter part of September 1996. The
movement in deferred revenue was principally due to the timing of billings
within the electronic security services division.

Net cash utilized by investing activities of $278.7 million was principally due
to capital expenditures of $223.5 million and $17.0 million in the electronic
security services and vehicle auction services divisions, respectively, $25.5
million relating to the acquisition of the minority interest in Alert and $20.2
million relating to the purchase of customer contracts to provide electronic
security monitoring, which was offset by $15.4 million received on the disposal
of certain investments in and loans to associates.

Net cash utilized by financing activities of $162.9 million was principally due
to the purchase of $23.2 million face value of the Company's senior 
subordinated notes at a cost of $24.0 million and the repayments of long-term 
debt of $208.2 million, which was offset by $19.0 million of proceeds from the 
issue of common shares and the proceeds from long-term debt of $53.7 million.

A market purchase program in respect of Liquid Yield Option Notes due 2010,
with a market value of up to $100 million, was approved by the board of
directors in August 1996, to be carried out at prevailing market prices from
time to time, depending upon market conditions and other considerations.

On October 11, 1996 the Company gave notice to the holders of the Company's
5-3/4 per cent and 6 per cent convertible cumulative redeemable preference
shares, of which 756 and 4,180 respectively were outstanding, that all such
outstanding preference shares, not previously converted, would be redeemed on 
November 11, 1996 at their issue amount of $1,000 per share. All such
preference shares were redeemed.

The Company believes that the working capital at September 30, 1996, its
available credit facilities and the current cash flows from operations are
adequate for the Company's normal growth and operating needs, the

Notes

(i)         A certain number of common stock equivalents resulting from
            executive share option schemes are anti-dilutive in the calculation
            of primary and fully diluted (loss) earnings per common share in
            1996 and 1995.

(ii)        The effect on fully diluted earnings per common share resulting
            from the assumed exchange of Liquid Yield Option Notes, which were
            issued in July 1995, is anti-dilutive in 1996 and 1995. The effect
            on fully diluted earnings per common share resulting from the
            assumed conversion of convertible capital bonds is anti-dilutive
            in 1996 and 1995. The effect on fully diluted earnings per common
            share resulting from the assumed conversion of convertible
            redeemable preference shares is anti-dilutive in 1996 and 1995.
