                    PITTWAY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     (Dollars in Thousands, Unaudited)



Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Pittway and its majority-owned subsidiaries (the
"Company" or "Registrant").  Summarized financial information for
the limited real estate partnership ventures and other affiliates
is omitted because, when considered in the aggregate, they do not
constitute a significant subsidiary.  Certain prior year amounts
have been reclassified to conform to the current year
classification.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited
but reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial statements contained herein. 
However, the financial statements and related notes do not
include all disclosures normally provided in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K.  Accordingly, these financial statements and
related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993.


Note 2.  Changes in Accounting Principles

On January 1, 1994 the Company adopted the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities", which requires the Company to record its investments
in certain debt and equity securities available-for-sale at
market value.  Changes in market value for these securities are
to be reported, net of tax, in a separate component of
stockholders' equity until realized.  Prior to the adoption of
SFAS No. 115, these securities were valued at the lower of
aggregate cost or market.  SFAS No. 115 does not apply to
investments accounted for using the equity method or for which
readily determinable market values are not available.  As a
result of adopting SFAS No. 115, a $141 unrealized gain, net of
tax, was recorded to stockholders' equity at January 1, 1994. 
The adoption of this statement had no impact on net income and
prior year financial statements are not restated.  

On January 1, 1993 the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other
than Pensions", and No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".  The
cumulative effect of the changes in accounting principles on
years prior to 1993 was a $1,965 benefit for income taxes and a
$430 after-tax charge for postretirement benefits.

gain of $17,051.  The Company sold its remaining 195,000 shares
in April, resulting in a pretax gain of $2,454 which will be
recorded in the second quarter of 1994.  The $24,505 proceeds
from the two sales were received in April.  $21,422 is included
in accounts receivable and $3,083 in marketable securities in the

Note 5.  Earnings per Share

Net income per share of common capital stock is based on the
combined weighted average number of Common and Class A shares
outstanding during each period and does not include Class A
shares issuable upon exercise of stock options because the
dilutive effect is not significant.
Note 6.  Discontinued Operations

The Company distributed its investment in the Seaquist packaging
group (now known as AptarGroup, Inc.) to stockholders in a tax-
free spinoff on April 22, 1993.  

Net sales of the discontinued operations were $95,210 for the
three months ended March 31, 1993.


Note 7.  Legal Proceedings

On May 10, 1989, a judgment was entered against Saddlebrook
Resorts, Inc. ("Saddlebrook"), a former subsidiary of the
Company, in a lawsuit which arose out of the development of
Saddlebrook's resort and a portion of the adjoining residential
properties owned and currently under development by the Company. 
The lawsuit alleged damage to plaintiffs' adjoining property
caused by surface water effects from improvements to the
properties.  Damages of approximately $8 million were awarded to
the plaintiffs and an injunction was entered requiring, among
other things, that Saddlebrook work with local regulatory
authorities to take corrective actions.  In December 1990 the
trial court entered an order vacating the judgment and awarding a
new trial, which was affirmed on appeal in March 1992.  On remand
to the trial court, Saddlebrook's motion for summary judgment, on
the ground that plaintiff's claims were fully tried and rejected
in a related administrative proceeding, is pending.  If that
motion is not granted, retrial is currently set for October 1994. 
The Company and Saddlebrook have entered into an agreement to
split equally the costs of the defense of 

                                 9

<PAGE>

the litigation and the costs of certain related litigation and
proceedings, the costs of the ultimate judgment, if any, and the
costs of any mandated remedial work.  Subject to certain
conditions, the agreement permits Saddlebrook to obtain
subordinated loans from the Company to enable Saddlebrook to pay
its one-half of the costs of the latter two items.  No loans have
been made to date.  The Company believes that the ultimate
outcome of the aforementioned lawsuit will not have a material
adverse effect on its financial statements.  



ITEM 2.       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
              CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Sales increased 16% over the first quarter of 1993 due to higher
sales in both the alarm and publishing segments.  Gross profit
grew at a faster rate than sales, 20%, reflecting better coverage
of fixed costs through higher volume.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased 15% due to increased costs
associated with the expanded sales volume.

Alarm product sales increased due to continued market
acceptance of the newer burglar and commercial fire alarm
products.  Operating income increased primarily because of 
the expanded sales volume partially offset by costs of new 
product introductions, particularly low profile smoke detectors.

Publishing sales rose from a year ago due to a modest increase
in advertising pages coupled with a firming of page rates. 
Operating income increased due to higher list rentals, 
increased advertising pages at higher rates and profits from 
a bi-annual directory.

Included in other income is a $17.1 million pretax gain on the
sale of 1,355,000 shares of First Alert, Inc. common stock which
were included in an initial public offering. Excluding the gain
on sale of investment, other income was more favorable in 1994
due to higher miscellaneous income.  The increase in investment
income was offset by higher interest expense. 

The effective tax rate increased from 39% in 1993 to 40% in 1994
due to an increase in the U.S. Federal income tax rate in August
1993 from 34% to 35%. 

One-time accounting changes applicable to 1993 continuing
operations included a $2.0 million benefit from the adoption of
SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", and an after-tax
charge of $.4 million from the adoption of SFAS No. 106,
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions". 
                                 10

<PAGE>
Earnings from discontinued operations amounted to $6.4 million.  
A $3.1 million benefit from the adoption of SFAS No. 109 is also 
included in income from discontinued operations.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company's financial condition remained strong through the
first quarter of 1994.  Management anticipates that operations
and borrowings will continue to be the primary source of funds
needed to meet ongoing programs for capital expenditures, to
finance acquisitions and investments, to pay dividends and to
reduce debt.  As a result of selling its investment in First
Alert, Inc. the Company received $24.5 million in April 1994.  It
is expected that these proceeds will be used to reduce
outstanding debt, finance the growth in operations, invest in
real estate and other ventures and pay approximately $9.7 million
in income taxes associated with the sale.

In the 1994 first quarter, the primary sources of cash provided
by continuing operations were profits before depreciation, 
amortization, deferred income taxes and the net
gain on sale of investment.  Such cash generated was largely used
to finance the $14 million increase in accounts receivable and
inventories.  The $2 million available cash generated from
operations, along with a $4 million increase in short-term bank
borrowings were used to pay dividends and to pay for $8.5 million
in capital expenditures.  Indebtedness of approximately $3
million was recorded in the first quarter of 1994 to record a
sale/leaseback transaction on certain production equipment.  For
1993, the cash dividends normally paid in January were paid in
December 1992. 

The Company is continually investigating opportunities for growth
in related areas and is presently committed to invest
approximately $17 million in certain ventures through 1996.  

The Company has real estate investments in various limited
partnerships with interests in commercial rental properties which
may be sold or turned over to lenders due to the present weak
commercial real estate market.  The Company's deferred income tax
liability accounts fully cover the tax payments that would be due
if properties were sold or returned to the lenders and such
events would have no effect on income.  However, any such tax
payments would negatively impact the Company's cash position. 
The likelihood, extent and timing of such payments is not readily
determinable, but the maximum total amount at March 31, 1994 is
approximately $15 million.

                         PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.       LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On May 10, 1989, the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit
in and for Pasco County, Florida, entered a judgment against
Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc. ("Saddlebrook"), a former subsidiary of
the Company, in a lawsuit which arose out of the development of
Saddlebrook's resort and a portion of the adjoining residential
properties owned and currently under development by the Company. 
The lawsuit (James H. Porter and Martha Porter, Trustees, et al.
vs. Saddlebrook Resorts, Inc. and The County of Pasco, Florida;
Case No. CA83-1860), alleges damage to plaintiffs' adjoining
property caused by surface water effects from improvements to the
properties.  Damages of approximately $8 million were awarded to
the plaintiffs and an injunction was entered requiring, among
other things, that Saddlebrook work with local regulatory
authorities to take corrective actions.  Saddlebrook made two
motions for a new trial, based on separate grounds.  One such
motion was granted on December 18, 1990.  Such grant was appealed
by the plaintiffs.  The other such motion was denied on February
28, 1991.  Saddlebrook appealed such denial.  The appeals were
consolidated, fully briefed and heard in February 1992. 
Saddlebrook received a favorable ruling on March 18, 1992,
dismissing the judgment and remanding the case to the Circuit
Court for a new trial.  An agreed order has been entered by the
Court preserving the substance of the injunction pending final
disposition of this matter.  As part of its plan to comply with
the agreed order, Saddlebrook filed applications with the
regulatory agency to undertake various remediation efforts. 
Plaintiffs, however, filed petitions for administrative review of
the applications, which administrative hearing was concluded in
February 1992.  On March 31, 1992, the hearing officer issued a
recommended order accepting Saddlebrook's expert's testimony. 
The agency's governing board was scheduled to consider this
recommended order on April 28, 1992, however, shortly before the
hearing, the plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed their petitions and
withdrew their challenges to the staff's proposal to issue a
permit.  At the April 28, 1992 hearing the governing board closed
its file on the matter and issued the permits.  Saddlebrook
appealed the board's refusal to issue a final order.  On July 9,
1993 a decision was rendered for Saddlebrook remanding
jurisdiction to the governing board for further proceedings,
including entry of a final order which was issued on October 25,
1993.  The plaintiffs have appealed the Appellate Court decision
to the Florida Supreme Court and appealed the issuance of the
final order to the Second District Court of Appeals.  The Florida
Supreme Court heard the appeal on May 3, 1994 and the
participants await its decision.  The other appeal is being
briefed and awaiting a hearing date.  Saddlebrook moved for
summary judgment on December 22, 1993 on the ground that
plaintiffs' claims were fully litigated and decided in
administrative action.  The trial court ordered that, in the
event plaintiffs' appeals are resolved by July 1994,
Saddlebrook's motion for summary judgment will be heard in August
1994 and, in the event that such motion is denied, retrial will
begin in October 1994.  


                                 12

<PAGE>

Until October 14, 1989, the Company and Saddlebrook disputed
responsibility for ultimate liability and costs (including costs
of corrective action).  On that date, the Company and Saddlebrook
entered into an agreement with regard to such matters.  The
agreement, as amended and restated on July 16, 1993, provides for
the Company and Saddlebrook to split equally the costs of the
defense of the litigation and the costs of certain related
litigation and proceedings, the costs of the ultimate judgment,
if any,  and the costs of any mandated remedial work.  Subject to
certain conditions, the agreement permits Saddlebrook to obtain
subordinated loans from the Company to enable Saddlebrook to pay
its one-half of the costs of the latter two items.  No loans have
been made to date.

The Company believes that the ultimate outcome of the
aforementioned lawsuit will not have a material adverse effect on
its financial statements.
