Response USA, Inc., Effective September 30, 1996, has suspended conversion
of its 1996 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
Unusual trading activity in the Company's Common Stock over the past several
months, coupled with substantial conversions of the Company's 1996 Preferred
Stock, dated June 28, 1996, at conversion prices linked to the market price of
the Common Stock, resulted in the Company suspending conversions pending a full
review of the matter. The Company intends to take whatever action is required
to protect the long-term interests of its stockholders and Preferred Stock-
holders, which may include renegotiation of the terms and conditions of the
Preferred Stock.
