ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         On June 28, 1996, One Alarm Monitoring, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Monitoring"), acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Metrol
Security Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("MSS"), from The Buckey Family
Trust and the other existing stockholders of MSS (collectively, the "Sellers"),
pursuant to an Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Stock dated as of May 23,
1996, as amended (the "Purchase Agreement"), among MSS, the Sellers, Monitoring
and Protection One, Inc. ("POI").

         MSS and its subsidiaries (collectively, "Metrol") sell, install,
service and monitor security alarm systems and provide guard and patrol
services to residential and commercial subscribers in Arizona and New Mexico.

   
         At the closing of the sale (the "Closing"), Monitoring paid to the
Sellers $9,103,591 in cash, subject to certain post-closing adjustments, and
delivered to the Sellers 417,885 shares of POI's Common Stock (the "POI
Shares") having an agreed upon value of $6 million. In addition, at the Closing
Monitoring repaid an aggregate of $15,745,000 of Metrol's bank and other third
party debt.
    

         Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Sellers have agreed to
indemnify Monitoring against certain liabilities and obligations relating to
Metrol, including certain tax and employee claims. In accordance with the terms
of an Escrow Agreement entered into in connection with the Purchase Agreement,
$3 million of the cash portion of the purchase price has been placed in an
escrow to secure such indemnification obligations.

         The cash portion of the purchase price for the Metrol stock and the
refinancing of Metrol's third party debt at the Closing was funded with
borrowings under Monitoring's revolving credit facility with Heller Financial,
Inc. as agent for itself, Banque Nationale de Paris and Merita Bank. The amount
of the purchase price was determined in arm's-length negotiations between
Monitoring and POI and the Sellers, and the acquisition was accounted for under
the purchase method of accounting.

         As required by the Purchase Agreement, the offer and sale of the POI
Shares by the Sellers has been registered by POI under the Securities Act of 
1933.

         The Purchase Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and a Registration Rights
Agreement between POI and the Sellers relating to the registration of the POI
Shares are filed as exhibits to this report and are incorporated herein by this
reference. 


ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

         On June 7, 1996, the Registrants issued a press release announcing
that the maximum amount available for borrowing under the Registrants'
revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") had been increased
to $100 million, that the maturity date of such facility had been extended to
June 3, 2000 and that the terms of such facility had been otherwise amended. A
copy of such press release is filed as an exhibit to this report.
