Item 1.       Financial Statements


                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of ITI Technologies, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of ITI
Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 1997, and the related
consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 1997, and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 1997. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying 1997 financial statements for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the
consolidated balance sheet of ITI Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1996, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash
flows and stockholders' equity for the year then ended (not presented herein);
and in our report dated February 18, 1997, we expressed an unqualified opinion
on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set
forth in the accompanying consolidated financial statements is fairly stated, in
all material respects, in relation to the consolidated financial statements from
which it has been derived.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the three-month
         and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, reflect, in
         the opinion of management of ITI Technologies, Inc. (the "Company"),
         all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of
         operations for the interim periods. The results of operations for any
         interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full
         year. The consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 1996, were
         derived from audited consolidated financial statements but do not
         include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
         principles. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be
         read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
         notes thereto incorporated in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
         for the year ended December 31, 1996. Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P., the
         Company's independent accountants, have performed a limited review of
         the 1997 interim financial information included herein. Their report on
         such review accompanies this filing.

         The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
         the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant
         intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

         In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
         Statement No. 128, a new standard for earnings per share (EPS)
         calculations. Statement No. 128 requires presentation of "basic"
         instead of "primary" and "diluted" instead of "fully diluted" EPS.
         Basic EPS includes only actual weighted average common shares
         outstanding during the period. Basic EPS would have been $0.44, or
         $0.03 higher, and $0.38, or $0.03 higher in the third quarter of 1996
         and 1997, respectively. Basic EPS would have been $1.25, or $0.08
         higher, and $0.54, or $0.03 higher, for the nine months ended September
         30, 1996 and 1997, respectively. There is no significant difference
         between the Company's diluted and fully diluted EPS. The new standard
         must be adopted in the fourth quarter of 1997.

2.       ACQUISITIONS

         On April 30, 1997, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock
         of CADDX-CADDI Controls, Inc. ("CADDX") for $19.0 million in cash (the
         "Acquisition"). In conjunction with the Acquisition, the Company also
         purchased from the majority shareholder of CADDX the manufacturing
         facility leased by CADDX for $530,000. Immediately following the
         Acquisition, the corporate name was changed to CADDX Controls, Inc.
         CADDX, located in Gladewater, Texas, designs, manufactures and markets
         hardwire electronic security systems in the United States and certain
         international locations.

         The Acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
         accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations of CADDX have
         been included in these financial statements from the effective date,
         April 30, 1997. The Acquisition cost has been allocated to the assets
         acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values
         at the Acquisition date, including $4.0 million to net current assets,
         $1.2 million to property and

<PAGE>


2.       ACQUISITIONS CONTINUED

         equipment, $1.25 million to customer lists, principally related to
         CADDX customers outside the United States, $2.1 million to net
         long-term deferred tax liabilities, $3.75 million to trade names, and
         $5.2 million to technology under development, leaving a $5.7 million
         excess of cash paid (including transaction costs) over net assets
         acquired. The values assigned to the various identifiable intangible
         assets were determined based on anticipated discounted after-tax cash
         flows for the period estimated to encompass the remaining life of the
         technology existing at the Acquisition date and the expected life cycle
         of the next generation of technology under development at the
         Acquisition date. Depreciation periods for property and equipment and
         amortization periods for trade names and the excess of cash paid over
         net assets acquired are consistent with ITI's existing policies. The
         customer list will be amortized over 15 years.

         At the time of the Acquisition, CADDX had under development technology
         related to the NX-8 security system. It is not currently clear whether
         any of this technology will be commercially acceptable or whether it
         will function correctly. The development of the NX-8 requires several
         design and engineering innovations, including the creation of special
         telecom and power interfaces that would be acceptable under any
         country's regulations anywhere in the world, the development of
         software to drive these interfaces and a buss structure to allow high
         speed transmissions over long lines without loss of signal, all within
         the specified physical space and cost structure contemplated. It is not
         certain that these design innovations can be accomplished, and failure
         to achieve any one of these innovations will cause the NX-8 project to
         fail. As a result, in May 1997, the Company made a $5.2 million
         non-recurring charge to operations for the value assigned to NX-8
         technology in process at the time of the Acquisition. Also, subsequent
         to the Acquisition, the Company included in cost of goods sold in the
         second quarter of 1997, a $725,000 non-recurring purchase accounting
         adjustment which resulted from the sale of inventory which had been
         written up to reflect estimated selling price less the sum of estimated
         costs of completion and sale at the time of the Acquisition.

         The following are unaudited pro forma consolidated results of
         operations for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996 and
         1997, as if the Acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of each
         period. The unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations have
         been adjusted to eliminate the effect of the $5.2 million non-recurring
         charge to operations for the value assigned to the in-process NX-8
         technology and the $725,000 non-recurring purchase accounting
         adjustment which resulted from the sale of the purchased inventory. The
         pro forma information also includes adjustments for additional
         depreciation and amortization, the reduction of compensation expense
         for a non-active majority shareholder, the reduction of interest
         income, additional interest expense due to the reduction of cash used
         for the Acquisition and the impact on the tax provision due to these
         adjustments. The unaudited proforma consolidated results of operations
         do not purport to

         represent what the Company's results of operations could actually have
         been if the Acquisition had, in fact, occurred on that date.

               Primary earnings per share      $    1.28      $    1.21

         On May 22, 1997, the Company also completed the cash purchase of the
         Regency product line and dealer program from the Silent Knight Division
         of Willknight, Inc., located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, for $1.8
         million. In the event sales of Regency products over the 36-month
         period ending May 2000 exceed certain levels, then a contingent payment
         of up to $800,000 will be made. This product line allows the Company to
         offer an established product that integrates intrusion protection, fire
         protection and access control. The Regency dealer program consists of
         over 100 Regency dealers throughout North America. The purchase price
         was allocated to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired,
         primarily to customer lists, which will be amortized over its expected
         useful life of 10 years.

3.       LITIGATION

         On August 17, 1995, the Company commenced an action for patent
         infringement against Pittway Corporation and its subsidiary, Ademco
         Distribution, Inc., in the United States District Court for the
         District of Minnesota. The Company intends to vigorously protect its
         patented technology from infringement. Costs associated with this
         action are being capitalized as a patent asset associated with the
         related technology. As of September 30, 1997, the Company has
         capitalized $2.4 million of costs related to this lawsuit.

4.       CREDIT FACILITY

         On April 30, 1997, the Company entered into an unsecured $15.0 million
         bank revolving credit facility. The facility provides for interest
         calculated, at the Company's option, at LIBOR plus 1.0% or a commercial
         bank's base rate less 1.25%. In addition, the facility requires a
         commitment fee of 0.1% per annum on the unused portion of the facility.
         The agreement allows for payment of annual dividends equal to 25% of
         the Company's net income for the immediately preceding fiscal year and
         requires the maintenance of specified ratios and minimum net worth. No
         borrowings were outstanding under the credit facility as of September
         30, 1997.

5.       INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

         At the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 22, 1997, the
         Company received approval to increase the number of shares of Common
         Stock which the Company is authorized to issue from 15,000,000 shares
         to 30,000,000 shares.

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

          When used in this discussion, the words "believe", "anticipates" and
     similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
     Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which could
     cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. 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 publish revised forward-looking statements to reflect events
     or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of
     unanticipated events. Readers are also urged to carefully review and
     consider the various disclosures made by the Company which attempt to
     advise interested parties of the factors which affect the Company's
     business, not only in this report, but also in the Company's periodic
     reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
     Commission.

GENERAL:

          On April 30, 1997, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock
     of CADDX-CADDI Controls, Inc. ("CADDX") for $19.0 million in cash (the
     "Acquisition"). In conjunction with the Acquisition, the Company also
     purchased from the majority shareholder of CADDX the manufacturing facility
     leased by CADDX for $530,000. Immediately following the Acquisition, the
     corporate name was changed to CADDX Controls, Inc. CADDX, located in
     Gladewater, Texas, designs, manufactures and markets hardwire electronic
     security systems.

          The Acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
     accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations of CADDX have been
     included in the financial statements from the effective date, April 30,
     1997. The Acquisition cost has been allocated to the assets acquired and
     liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the Acquisition
     date, including $4.0 million to net current assets, $1.2 million to
     property and equipment, $1.25 million to customer lists, principally
     related to CADDX customers outside the United States, $2.1 million to net
     long-term deferred tax liabilities, $3.75 million to trade names, and $5.2
     million to technology under development, leaving a $5.7 million excess of
     cash paid over net assets acquired. The values assigned to the various
     identifiable intangible assets were determined based on anticipated
     discounted after-tax cash flows for the period estimated to encompass the
     remaining life of the technology existing at the Acquisition date and the
     expected life cycle of the next generation of technology under development
     at the Acquisition date.

          At the time of the Acquisition, CADDX had under development technology
     related to the NX-8 security system. It is not currently clear whether any
     of this technology will be commercially acceptable or whether it will
     function correctly. The development of the NX-8 requires several design and
     engineering innovations, including the creation of special telecom and
     power interfaces that would be acceptable under any country's regulations
     anywhere in the world, the development of software to drive these
     interfaces and a buss structure to allow high speed transmissions over long
     lines without loss of signal, all within the specified

<PAGE>


     physical space and cost structure contemplated. It is not certain that
     these design innovations can be accomplished, and failure to achieve any
     one of these innovations will cause the NX-8 project to fail. As a result,
     in May 1997, the Company made a $5.2 million non-recurring charge to
     operations for the value assigned to NX-8 technology in process at the time
     of the Acquisition. Also, subsequent to the Acquisition, the Company
     included in cost of goods sold in the second quarter of 1997, a $725,000
     non-recurring purchase accounting adjustment which resulted from the sale
     of inventory which had been written up to reflect estimated selling price
     less the sum of estimated costs of completion and sale at the time of the
     Acquisition.

          On May 22, 1997, the Company also completed the cash purchase of the
     Regency product line and dealer program from the Silent Knight Division of
     Willknight, Inc., located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, for $1.8 million. In
     the event sales of Regency products over the 36 month period ending May
     2000 exceed certain levels, then a contingent payment of up to $800,000
     will be made. This product line allows the Company to offer an established
     product that integrates intrusion protection, fire protection and access
     control. The Regency dealer program consists of over 100 Regency dealers
     throughout North America. The purchase price was allocated to the estimated
     fair value of the assets acquired, primarily to customer lists.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

          NET SALES. Net sales increased by $2.0 million, or 8.3%, from $24.4
     million for the three months ended September 30, 1996, to $26.5 million for
     the three months ended September 30, 1997. Net sales increased by $5.7
     million, or 8.2%, from $69.9 million for the nine months ended September
     30, 1996, to $75.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.
     The increase in sales is primarily attributable to volume increases, as
     prices remained relatively stable over these periods.

          Third quarter 1997 net sales include a full quarter of revenue for the
     CADDX acquisition and the Regency product line. Excluding the effect of the
     acquisitions and sales to the Company's largest customer's branch
     operations, sales to all other customers increased over 35% from the third
     quarter of 1996. Sales to the Company's largest customer's branch
     operations declined from 41.7% of total sales in the third quarter of 1996
     to 5.8% of total sales in the third quarter of 1997 and are expected to
     continue to decline in both dollar and percentage terms through the
     remainder of 1997.

          GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased $26,000 from the third quarter of
     1996 to almost $12 million for the third quarter of 1997, but decreased as
     a percentage of net sales from 48.8% to 45.2%. The decrease in gross margin
     percentage is due to a combination of inherently lower gross margins on
     CADDX sales, as those sales are made through distribution rather than
     directly to dealers, excess factory capacity due to the decrease in sales
     to the Company's largest customer, pricing pressure for products sold into
     the highly competitive mass market portion of the industry, and additional
     material and start-up expenses associated with the manufacture of new
     product offerings. Gross profit increased from $33.6 million for the first
     nine months of 1996 to $34.6 million for the first nine months of 1997.
     These increases were primarily due to increased sales volume and were
     partially

<PAGE>


     offset by a $725,000 non-recurring purchase accounting adjustment in the
     second quarter which resulted from the write-up of CADDX inventory at the
     acquisition date to reflect estimated selling price less the sum of
     estimated costs of completion and sale.

          MARKETING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Marketing, general and
     administrative expenses increased from $4.1 million for the third quarter
     of 1996 to $4.7 million for the third quarter of 1997, and increased from
     $11.0 million for the first nine months of 1996 to $13.4 million for the
     first nine months of 1997. The dollar increase in expenses is primarily due
     to the addition of the CADDX subsidiary. As a percentage of net sales,
     marketing, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter
     increased from 16.6% in 1996 to 17.9% in 1997, and for the first nine
     months of the year from 15.8% in 1996 to 17.8% in 1997, due to increased
     employment costs in the sales and marketing areas, costs associated with
     new product introductions, and a $300,000 second quarter 1997 charge for
     anticipated costs associated with a change in distribution arrangements in
     Australia.

          RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE. Research and development expenses
     increased $408,000 to $2.0 million for the third quarter of 1997, and
     increased $815,000 to $5.5 million for the first nine months of 1997. The
     increase was primarily due to the Company's continued emphasis on research
     and new product development. New products introduced in 1997 include the
     Quick Bridge family, a group of wireless receivers equipped with interfaces
     that add on to other manufactures' hardwired panels, thus broadening the
     market opportunities for ITI Learn Mode sensors. Third quarter additions to
     the Quick Bridge family included the interfaces to Prince's HomeLink(R)
     System and to CADDX's new NX-8 security system. Additionally, the Company
     has launched its Simon security system, an entry-level wireless system
     aimed at those in the industry looking for a low-cost wireless solution for
     mass marketing programs. The Company anticipates that it will continue this
     high level of development activity through the remainder of 1997.

          PURCHASED IN-PROCESS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COST. During the second
     quarter of 1997, in conjunction with the Acquisition, the Company made a
     $5.2 million non-recurring charge to operations for value assigned at the
     Acquisition date to purchased technology under development.

          AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS. Amortization of acquisition-related
     intangible assets increased from $228,000 for the third quarter of 1996 to
     $352,000 for the third quarter of 1997, and from $684,000 for the first
     nine months of 1996 to $876,000 for the first nine months of 1997. The
     increase is attributable to the Company's second quarter 1997 acquisitions.

          NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income decreased from $215,000 for
     the third quarter of 1996 to $75,000 for the third quarter of 1997, and
     decreased from $535,000 during the first nine months of 1996 to $466,000
     for the first nine months of 1997 as cash and cash equivalents were used to
     purchase the Company's common stock through its stock re-purchase program
     and for the second quarter 1997 acquisition.

          INCOME TAX EXPENSE. Income tax expense decreased from $2.3 million for
     the third quarter of 1996 to $1.8 million for the third quarter of 1997,
     and from $6.6 million for the

<PAGE>


     first nine months of 1996 to $5.6 million for the first nine months of
     1997. The Company's effective tax rate for these periods varies from the
     federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes, net of federal
     benefit, and the non-deductibility for income tax purposes of the
     amortization of excess of cost over net assets acquired. Additionally, the
     1997 effective tax rate was negatively impacted by the non-deductibility
     for income tax purposes of the $5.2 million non-recurring charge for
     purchased technology under development.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

          On April 30, 1997, the Company entered into an unsecured $15.0 million
     bank revolving credit facility. The facility provides for interest
     calculated, at the Company's option, at LIBOR plus 1.0% or the commercial
     bank's base rate less 1.25%. In addition, the facility requires a
     commitment fee of 0.1% per annum on the unused portion of the facility. The
     agreement allows for payment of annual dividends equal to 25% of the
     Company's net income for the immediately preceding fiscal year and requires
     the maintenance of specified financial ratios and minimum net worth.

          The Company has funded its operations primarily with cash from
     operations. For the first nine months of 1997, the Company generated net
     cash from operating activities of $17.3 million. Net cash provided by
     operating activities resulted primarily from $10.2 million in net income
     excluding non-cash acquisition-related adjustments, $2.2 million in
     depreciation and amortization charges, and $4.6 million from changes in
     operating assets and liabilities, principally accounts receivable, accounts
     payable and income taxes payable.

          During 1997, the Company invested $20.5 million in acquisitions of
     businesses, net of cash acquired. Additionally, the Company made purchases
     of property and equipment totaling $2.2 million. For the year ended
     December 31, 1997, the Company expects that purchases of property and
     equipment will be approximately $3.0 million.

          For the first nine months of 1997, net cash used in financing
     activities was $326,000. This was the net result of proceeds from the
     exercise of stock options of $1.1 million, less the purchase of 90,000
     additional shares of the Company's common stock for $1.4 million. In
     addition, the Company received proceeds from the revolving credit facility
     totaling $6.3 million. All borrowings during the year have been paid. No
     amounts were outstanding under this facility at September 30, 1997.

          A substantial amount of the Company's working capital is invested in
     accounts receivable and inventories. The Company periodically reviews
     accounts receivable for noncollectibility and inventories for obsolescence
     and establishes allowances it believes are appropriate. In addition, the
     Company periodically assesses the recoverability of intangible assets based
     on undiscounted cash flows.

          The Company believes that cash flows from operations and funds
     available through the Company's credit facility will be adequate to fund
     its working capital and capital expenditure requirements at least through
     the end of 1997.

EFFECT OF INFLATION AND FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

          The Company believes that inflation and foreign currency fluctuations
     have not had a significant effect on its operations.
