                     SEPTEMBER 30, 1998


NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The  accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements  have been prepared in accordance with  generally
accepted   accounting  principles  for   interim   financial
information  and  with the instructions  to  Form  10-Q  and
Article  10  of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly,  they  do  not
include  all  of the information and footnotes  required  by
generally   accepted  accounting  principles  for   complete
financial  statements.  In the opinion  of  management,  all
adjustments   (consisting  of  normal  recurring   accruals)
considered  necessary  for  a fair  presentation  have  been
included.   Operating  results for the  three  month  period
ended  September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative  of
the  results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending
June  30,  1999.   For  further information,  refer  to  the
financial  statements  and  footnotes  thereto  included  in
DualStar  Technologies Corporation and Subsidiaries'  Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998.


NOTE B - NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic  income  per  share is  based on  the weighted average
number  of common  shares  outstanding  during  the  period.
Diluted  income  per share  includes the  dilutive effect of
securities  that  can  be   converted  into  common   stock,
including options and warrants,  unless the effect  is anti-
dilutive.

The  weighted average  number of shares  outstanding for the
periods presented is as follows:

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

General

DualStar Technologies Corporation, through its wholly  owned
subsidiaries,  provides  mechanical, electrical,  electronic
and  control,  environmental, security,  telecommunications,
direct  broadcast satellite and cable television, and  high-
speed Internet access systems, services and solutions  to  a
wide  range of customers primarily in the New York Tri-State
area.

Certain   information  contained  in  this  report  includes
"forward-looking  statements"  within  the  meaning  of  the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of  1995, which  is
subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including  those
"Risk   Factors"   set   forth  in  DualStar    Technologies
Corporation and Subsidiaries' (the "Company") Annual  Report
on  Form   10-K  for the fiscal year ended  June  30,  1998.
Readers  are cautioned not to place undue reliance on  these
forward-looking statements which speak only as of  the  date
hereof.   The  Company undertakes no obligation  to  release
publicly  any revisions to these forward-looking  statements
to  reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or
to reflect unanticipated events or developments.


Capital Resources and Liquidity

Cash  balances  at  September 30, and  June  30,  1998  were
approximately  $0.9 million and $1.4 million,  respectively.
The Company's operations used approximately $1.3 million  of
cash  in  the  three months ended September  30,  1998,  and
provided  approximately $0.4 million of cash  in  the  three
months ended September 30, 1997.

Further,  in the three months ended September 30,  1998  and
1997,  the  Company acquired capital assets of approximately
$23,000  and  $326,000, respectively, substantially  all  of
which    represented    investments   in   telecommunication
infrastructure systems for buildings in return for rights to
provide  telephone, cable television and high-speed Internet
services to the buildings' residents.

In  July  1998,  the  Company  entered  a  $1  million  loan
agreement with an investment group.  The loan and any unpaid
interest  is due and payable on demand and bears an interest
rate  of  10% per annum. The loan is collateralized  by  the
Company's  building (which is subordinate to the  building's
first   mortgage)  and  the  Company's  cash  and   accounts
receivable.


Although the Company had net income of approximately $11,000
and  $556,000 for the three months ended September 30,  1998
and  the year ended June 30, 1998, respectively, the Company
experienced  losses of approximately $6.5 million  and  $3.8
million  for  the  years  ended  June  30,  1997  and  1996,
respectively.   At September 30, and June 30, 1998,  working
capital    was   approximately   $409,000   and    $365,000,
respectively.   To  improve  working  capital,  the  Company
continues  to  consolidate certain subsidiaries'  operations
and  is  considering the sale of certain  subsidiaries.   In
addition,  the Company's mechanical contracting and  service
businesses  reorganized  their  engineering,  drafting   and
project  management  departments so  that  overhead  can  be
reduced  and  project costs can be controlled  better.   The
Company  believes  that  based on  the   foregoing,  current
cash on  hand, and future cash from operating  and investing
activities should be sufficient to cover current operations.
There  can  be no assurance, however, that the Company  will
achieve  these  plans. In the event that additional  working
capital becomes necessary to fund operations, there  can  be
no  assurance  that  the  Company will  be  able  to  obtain
financing on terms satisfactory to it.


Results of Operations

Contract revenues decreased 12.2% in the three months  ended
September 30, 1998 to $19.9 million, down $2.8 million  from
the  comparable  period  of  1997.   The  decrease  was  due
primarily  to  the  Company either completing  or  beginning
several   large  contracts.   Since  such  revenue   streams
typically  peak  during  the  middle  of  a  project,   this
depressed contract revenues during this period.

Gross  profit  decreased $0.2 million in  the  three  months
ended September 30, 1998 to $2.1 million from the comparable
period  in  1997.  The gross profit margins were  10.7%  and
10.4%  for  the three months ended September  30,  1998  and
1997,  respectively.  The  decrease  in  gross  profit   was
attributable to the decrease in contract revenues.

General  and administrative expenses increased $0.2  million
in the three months ended September 30, 1998 to $2.1 million
from  the  comparable period of 1997.  As  a  percentage  of
revenue,  general and administrative expenses  increased  to
10.6%  for  the three months ended September 30,  1998  from
8.2%  for  the three months ended September 30,  1997.   The
increase as a percentage of revenue was due primarily to the
decrease in contract revenues.
