	INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


	We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of SHELTON SECURITY, 
INC. as of September 30, 1994 and 1995, and the related statements of income, 
stockholder's equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period 
ended September 30, 1995.  These financial statements are the responsibility 
of the Company'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 audits 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 financial position of Shelton Security, 
Inc. as of September 30, 1994 and 1995, and the results of its operations and 
its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 
1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

	As described in Note 8, in March, 1996, the Company distributed to its 
stockholder substantially all of its net assets other than monitoring and 
service contracts, and, all of the outstanding common stock of the Company was 
sold.

1.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

	Nature of Business and Concentration of Credit Risk
 ---------------------------------------------------
The Company's operations consist principally of the sale, installation and
monitoring and maintenance services of security and fire alarm systems for
residential and commercial properties in the Northern New Jersey area. Accounts
receivable are from a large number of customers.

	Use of Estimates
 ----------------
The presentation 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 Revenue Recognition
 -------------------
Revenues under contracts for monitoring and service are deferred and recognized 
ratably over the contract period.  The Company recognizes revenue on the sale 
of alarm systems when installed.

	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 -------------------------------
An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided by the Company, if necessary,
based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of
accounts receivable.  At September 30, 1994 and 1995, all uncollectible 
accounts had been written off and, in the opinion of management, no allowance
is necessary.

	Inventory
 ---------
Inventory, consisting of alarm systems and parts, is stated at the lower of
cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.

	Property and Equipment and Depreciation
 ---------------------------------------
Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Expenditures for additions,
renewals and betterments are capitalized; expenditures for maintenance and
repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  Upon retirement or disposal of
assets, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts
and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations. 
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line and declining balance methods
over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

1.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

	Income Taxes
 ------------
The liability method is used in accounting for income taxes.  Under this 
method,deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences 
between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are 
measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the 
differences are expected to reverse.

The principal differences between the Company's financial reporting and tax 
bases include accounts receivable and property and equipment.

3.	DEMAND NOTE PAYABLE - BANK

 The Company has a $30,000 line of credit.  Loans outstanding, if any, bear 
interest at 1-1/2% over the prime rate, payable monthly, and are collateralized 
by all assets of the Company and certain personal assets of the Company's 
stockholder.

                         	NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          -----------------------------
                                SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
                                ------------------



4.	INCOME TAXES (Continued)

	At September 30, 1994 and 1995, the cumulative temporary differences resulted
in a deferred tax asset of $9,165 and $2,217, respectively, as a result of 
accounts receivable and a deferred tax liability of $1,033 as of September 30,
1995 as a result of depreciation.


5.	RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

	The Company leases office space from its stockholder under a month-to-month 
operating lease.  Rent expense under the lease was $8,021 - 1994 and $6,654 - 
1995.

	The Company also makes and receives noninterest-bearing advances to and from
its stockholder and a Company affiliated by common ownership and management,
and the balances are due on demand.  Management fees of $10,200 were charged to
this affiliate for the year ended September 30, 1995.


6.	CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

	The Company is a defendant in lawsuits incurred in the normal course of
business.  The outcome of the suits is not anticipated to have a material
effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the 
Company. The Company anticipates to be fully covered by insurance for these
lawsuits.


7.	FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

	Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosure about Fair 
Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of estimated fair value 
of all financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair
value.

	The carrying amount of cash approximates its fair value because of its short 
maturity.

	It was not deemed practicable to estimate the fair value of the amounts due 
from and due to stockholder and due from affiliate, since these financial 
instruments are not readily marketable.


8.	SUBSEQUENT EVENT

	On March 29, 1996, the Company distributed to its stockholder substantially 
all of its net assets other than monitoring and service contracts, and, 
simultaneously, all of the outstanding common stock of the Company was sold.
