                                      PART I

Item 1.   Business

(a)   General Development of Business

Standard Shares, Inc. ("Standard") was incorporated under Delaware
law in 1925.

On December 28, 1989, Pittway Corporation ("Old Pittway"), a
Pennsylvania corporation incorporated in 1950, merged into Standard
through an exchange of stock and Standard changed its name to
Pittway Corporation ("Pittway" or "Registrant").  Prior to the
merger Standard owned 50.1% of Old Pittway.  The merger was
accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests, using
historical book values.  Pittway and its subsidiaries are referred
to herein collectively as the "Company."

The Company operates in two reportable industry segments:  alarm
and other security products, and publish-ing.

In April 1993, the Company distributed its investment in the
AptarGroup, Inc. (formerly known as the Seaquist Division packaging
group) to stockholders in a tax-free spinoff.  AptarGroup, Inc. is
a manufacturer of aerosol valves, dispensing pumps and closures
which are sold to packagers and marketers in the personal care,
fragrance/cosmetics, pharmaceutical, household products and food
industries.  In October 1992, the Company sold its Barr Company, a
contract packager for marketers of aerosol and liquid fill (non-
aerosol) personal and household products, to a Canadian packaging
company.  In July 1992, the Company sold its First Alert/BRK
Electronics business to a new company formed by BRK management and
an investment firm.  Financial information relating to these
transactions is set forth in Note 1 ("Discontinued Operations") to
the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the 1993 Annual
Report to Stockholders, page 25, which is incorporated herein by
reference.

In 1991, the Company sold its expedited ground transportation
service business to its local management.

(b)   Financial Information about Industry Segments

Financial information relating to industry segments for each of the
three years ended December 31, 1993 is set forth in Note 13
("Segment Information") to the Consolidated Financial Statements
contained in the 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders, pages 29-30,
which is incorporated herein by reference.

(c)   Narrative Description of Business

The principal operations, products and services rendered by the
Company:

Alarm and Other Security Products Segment

This segment involves the design, manufacture and sale of an
extensive line of burglar alarm and commercial fire detection and
alarm components and systems and the distribution of alarm and
other security products manufactured by other companies.  By
offering a broad line of alarm products needed for security
systems, the Company provides a full range of services to
independent alarm installers, which range in size from 
                            3  
<PAGE>
one-man operations to the largest national alarm service companies. 
In every major domestic market area, quick delivery is provided
through the Company's computerized regional warehouses and
convenience center outlets, authorized distributors and dealers.
Various products sold through the alarm system distribution group
are purchased from non-affiliated suppliers and manufacturers to
offer a broad range of products.  Some of the products purchased
are resold under the Company's Ademco brand name, others are resold
under brand names owned by its suppliers.  In the Canadian and
overseas markets, alarm and other security products are sold
through the Company's distribution centers, authorized dealers and
sales agents.

Commercial fire detectors, fire controls and control communicators
are sold through the Company's regional warehouses, electrical and
building supply wholesalers and alarm and fire safety distributors.

Raw materials essential to the Company's businesses are purchased
worldwide in the ordinary course of business from numerous
suppliers.  The vast majority of these materials are generally
available from more than one supplier and no serious shortages or
delays have been encountered.  Certain raw materials used in
producing some of the Company's products can be obtained only from
a small number of suppliers and could adversely impact production
of alarm equipment and commercial fire detectors by the Company. 
The Company believes that the loss of any other single source of
supply would not have a material adverse effect on its overall
business.

Sales and marketing methods common to this industry segment include
communications through the circulation of catalogs and
merchandising bulletins, direct mail campaigns, and national and
local advertising in trade publications.  The Company's principal
advantages in marketing are its reputation, broad product line,
high quality products, extensive integrated distribution network,
efficient customer service, competitive prices and brand names.

Within the industry there is competition from large and small
manufacturers in both the domestic and foreign markets.  While
competitors will continue to introduce new products similar to
those sold by the Company, the Company believes that its research
and development efforts and expansion of its distribution network
will permit it to remain competitive.

Publishing Segment

This segment is a publisher of 32 national business and trade
magazines with other businesses in the marketing-communications
field.  The Company's publications serve both specific industries
and broad functional markets which include specialized
manufacturing, service industries, technical and professional
fields and general management.  Most publications are distributed
on a monthly basis with several others distributed on a biweekly,
annual or biennial frequency.  With the exception of two magazines
paid for by subscribers, the publications are distributed free
through controlled circulation.  The principal source of revenue is
from the sale of advertising space within the magazines. Other
facets of the business include:  the operation of a printing plant
for the printing and production of most of the Company's
publications and those of other publishers; a national
mail-marketing organization; a majority-owned subsidiary specializ-
ing in the design and development of courses and conferences for
managerial, professional and technical personnel; research and
telemarketing services; direct-response card mailer service and
special publications.

Within the publishing and marketing communications fields, competi-
tion exists in the form of other publications and media communica-
tion businesses.  Reductions in advertising schedules by domestic
industrial companies due to economic and other competitive
pressures directly impacts the display advertising levels of the
Company's publishing segment.  The Company competes with one or
more other magazines for advertising 
                            4

<PAGE>
revenue in each of its magazine titles.  The Company's principal
sales advantages include relevant editorial content and innovative
marketing complemented by specialized multi-magazine supplements. 
The Company believes that its competitive position benefits from
improvements in manufacturing productivity and from cost control
programs. The Company places great emphasis on providing quality
products and services to its customers.  

Real Estate and Other Ventures

The Company is involved in the sale, marketing and development of
land near Tampa, Florida for residential and commercial use. 
Fairway Village is an improved residential property being developed
into single family homes situated adjacent to a major resort. 
Saddlebrook Village, a 2,000 acre parcel of land nearby, is
approved for development as a master planned community. 
Saddlebrook Corporate Center, a nearby 450 acre parcel, is a master
planned business park for mixed use development including light
manufacturing, research and development, distribution and
warehousing, retail and other businesses.  Principal competition
comes from other residential and commercial developments in
Florida.

The Company has a limited partnership interest in a real estate
developer with major commercial and residential high rise
properties in Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles and Boston.  See Item 7
of this Form 10-K.  The Company also has invested in three rental
apartment complexes located in Chicago and Washington, D.C. as a 5%
limited partner that provide certain tax advantages.

The Company has a 45% interest in a leading manufacturer of
commercial encryption equipment and of spread spectrum radios and
a 5% equity interest in a satellite broadcast company which is
expected to begin operations in the Spring of 1994.

The Company also has a 16 2/3% investment in a manufacturer of
residential fire protection products which has filed a registration
statement with the S.E.C. for an initial public offering of its
stock.  See Item 7 of this Form 10-K.

Other Information

Patents and Trademarks -

While the Company owns or is licensed under a number of patents
which are cumulatively important to its business, the loss of any
single patent or group of patents would not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's overall business.

Products manufactured by the Company are sold primarily under its
own trademarks and tradenames.  Some products purchased and resold
by the Company's alarm and security products business are sold
under the Company's tradenames while others are sold under
tradenames owned by its suppliers.

Customers -

Neither of the Company's industry segments is dependent upon a
single customer or a few customers.  The loss of any one or more of
these customers would not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's results of operations.

Research and Development -

The Company is engaged in programs to develop and improve products
as well as develop new and improved manufacturing methods. 
Expenditures for Company sponsored research and development
activities in the alarm and other security products segment was
$10.8 million in 1993, $10.0 million in 1992 and $10.2 million in
1991.  These costs were associated with a number of products in
varying stages of development, none of which represents a
significant item of cost or is projected to be a significant
addition to the Company's line of products.

Acquisitions and Dispositions -

Acquisitions of businesses by the Company in each of the three
years ended December 31, 1993 were not significant to the Company's
sales or results of operations.  Dispositions by the Company, other
than the discontinued operations previously discussed in the
"General Development of Business" section, in each of the three years
ended December 31, 1993 were not significant to the Company's sales
or results of operations.
Product Liability -

Due to the nature of the alarm security business, the Company has
been, and continues to be, subjected to numerous claims and
lawsuits alleging defects in its products.  This exposure has been
lessened by the sale of First Alert/BRK Electronics.  It is likely,
due to the present litigious atmosphere in the United States, that
additional claims and lawsuits will be filed in future years.  The
Company believes that it maintains sufficient insurance to cover
this exposure.

While it believes that resolution of existing claims and lawsuits
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
statements, management is unable to estimate the financial impact
of claims and lawsuits which may be filed in the future.
                            6

<PAGE>
Environmental Matters -

The Company anticipates that compliance with various laws and
regulations relating to protection of the environment will not have
a material effect on its capital expenditures, earnings or
competitive position.

Employees -

At December 31, 1993, there were approximately 4,800 persons
employed by the Company, including 4,000 employed in the United
States.  Approximately 1,000 of these employees were represented by
labor unions.  The Company considers its relations with its
employees to be good.

Item 3.   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.  Both appeals are presently being
briefed and expected to be heard in spring 1994.  Saddlebrook has
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.  

Until October 14, 1989, Saddlebrook disputed responsibility for
ultimate liability and costs (including costs of corrective
action).  On that date, the Company and Saddlebrook entered into an
agreement to split equally the costs of the defense of the
litigation, the costs of any ultimate judgment and the costs of
mandated remedial work.  The agreement provides for the Company to
make subordinated loans to Saddlebrook to enable Saddlebrook to pay
its 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.

Continued -

The consolidated financial statements of Pittway Corporation,
listed in the above index together with the Report of Independent
Accountants, which are included in the Company's 1993 Annual Report
to Stockholders, are incorporated herein by reference.

All other schedules have been omitted because the required
information is not present, or is not present in amounts sufficient
to require submission of the schedule, or because the information
required is included in the consolidated financial statements or
notes thereto.

With the exception of the aforementioned information and
information incorporated by reference in Part I (in Item 1) and
Part II (in Items 5, 6, 7 and 8) of this Form 10-K, the Company's
1993 Annual Report to Stockholders is not deemed to be filed as
part of this report.

The individual financial statements of the Company have been
omitted because Pittway Corporation is primarily an operating
company and the restricted net assets of subsidiaries together with
the equity in undistributed earnings of equity investees is less
than 25 percent of consolidated net assets.  Summarized financial
information for the limited real estate partnerships and other
ventures is omitted because, when considered in the aggregate, they
do not constitute a significant subsidiary.

                           FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES




To the Board of Directors
of Pittway Corporation

      Our audits of the Consolidated Financial Statements referred
to in our report dated February 23, 1994 appearing on page 32 of
the 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders (which report and
consolidated financial statements are incorporated by reference in
this Annual Report on Form 10-K) also included an audit of the
Financial Statement Schedules listed in the index on page 14 of
this Form 10-K.  In our opinion, these Financial Statement Schedul-
es present fairly, in all material respects, the information set
forth therein when read in conjunction with the related
consolidated financial statements.
      As discussed in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements contained in the 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders,
pages 25-26, the Company changed its method of accounting for
income taxes in 1993.

Summary of Accounting Policies
(Dollars in Thousands)

Basis of Presentation
      The consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of Pittway Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiaries (the
"Company").  The Company follows the equity method of accounting
for its investments in greater than 20%-owned but less than
majority-owned affiliates.  All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated.  Except where otherwise
indicated, the following notes relate to continuing operations
consisting principally of alarm systems businesses and trade
publishing.

Cash Equivalents
      Cash equivalents are generally comprised of highly liquid
instruments with original maturities of three months or less,
such as treasury bills, certificates of deposit, commercial paper
and time deposits.

Marketable Securities
      Marketable securities consist of equity and debt securities
carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market value.  Net
realized gains (losses) in 1993 and 1992 and unrealized gains and
losses at December 31, 1993 were not significant.

Inventories
      Inventories are stated at cost, which is lower than market. 
Costs included in inventories are raw materials, direct labor and
manufacturing overhead.  Cost of substantially all domestic
inventories is determined by using the last-in, first-out (LIFO)
method, while the remaining inventories are valued primarily
using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

Property, Plant and Equipment
      Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are
depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets using
the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes.
Depreciation expense amounted to $14,664, $12,526 and $11,504 in
1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

Investments
      Real estate and other ventures - These investments consist
principally of equity interests in limited real estate
partnerships, land held for development, an affiliate that
manufactures encryption and data communication devices, a
residential security products company and a satellite broadcast
company.  The Company's adjusted basis in certain of the limited
real estate partnerships is carried at zero, the affiliate is
carried at equity and investments in other partnerships and
ventures are carried on a cost basis.  Cash distributions
received from these partnerships and ventures, other than the
affiliate, were recorded as income from investments and were not
significant.
      Leveraged leases - The Company's investment in leveraged
leases consists of the rentals receivable net of the principal
and interest on the related nonrecourse debt, estimated residual
value of the leased property and unearned income.  The unearned
income is recognized as leveraged lease revenue in income from
investments over the lease term.

Intangible Assets
      Management believes that goodwill, trademarks and tradenames
acquired in purchase transactions have continuing value.  It is
the Company's policy to amortize such costs over periods of up to
40 years except for the costs of such assets acquired prior to
1970.  Intangible assets of approximately $3,356 related to pre-
1970 acquisitions are not being amortized because the Company
believes there has been no diminution of value.
      Other intangibles acquired in purchase transactions or
developed, consisting of non-compete agreements, customer mailing
lists, patents and software development costs, are capitalized
and amortized over their useful lives.

Research and Development Expenses
      Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. 
These costs amounted to $10,814, $10,040 and $10,298 in 1993,
1992 and 1991, respectively.

Income Taxes
      Provisions for income taxes recognize the tax effects of all
transactions entering into the determination of net income for
financial statement purposes, irrespective of when such
transactions are reported for income tax purposes.  In general,
depreciation is computed on a straight-line method for financial
reporting purposes and on accelerated methods for income tax
purposes.  Deferred income taxes and future income tax benefits
have been recognized for all temporary differences.
      Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes,"  which requires the use of the liability method of
accounting for deferred income taxes (see Note 4).

<PAGE>
Product Liability and 
Workers Compensation Claims
      Provisions are made for estimated losses from products
liability and workers compensation claims which are not covered
by insurance.

Translation of Foreign Currencies
      The functional currency of the Company's foreign operations
is the local currency.  Accordingly, assets and liabilities of
foreign operations are translated to U.S. dollars at the rates of
exchange on the balance sheet date; income and expense are
translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the
year.  Translation adjustments are accumulated in a separate
section of stockholders' equity.  Transaction gains and losses
are reflected in miscellaneous income and amounted to expenses of
$523, $1,020 and $256 in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
                                                                  
            
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share)


Note 1 - Discontinued Operations
      The Company distributed its investment, carried at $153,016,
in the Seaquist packaging group (now known as AptarGroup, Inc.)
to stockholders in a tax-free spinoff on April 22, 1993.
      In July 1992, the Company sold its First Alert/BRK
Electronics business to a new company formed by BRK management
and an investment firm.  The sale price was $87,154 plus a 16
2/3% ownership interest in the new company valued at $5 million. 
In October 1992, the Company sold its Barr packaging division
operations, excluding real estate, for $4,205 cash and a $3,200
two-year note.  The net after-tax gain on the 1992 divestitures
amounted to $16,558, or $1.20 per share.
      At December 31, 1992, the investment in the net assets of
the discontinued operations consisted of:
<TABLE>

                                        $137,648
</TABLE>
Net sales of the discontinued operations prior to their
respective dispositions were $117,473, $451,092 and $465,288 in
1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
Note 2 - Acquisitions and Dispositions
      During 1993, the Company acquired the assets and business of
a domestic access control manufacturer and two publications for
$3,430 cash.
      During 1992, the Company acquired the assets and business of
a domestic manufacturer of lighting control equipment and two
publications for $4,208 cash.  The Company sold a magazine for
$100 cash and a $400 note.
      During 1991, the Company acquired the assets and business of
a foreign manufacturer of fire alarm controls for $2,677 cash. 
Also, in 1991, the Company sold its expedited ground
transportation service business to its management.  The aggregate
proceeds were approximately $5,431, including $2,200 of
subordinated notes due in 1995 and 1996.  No significant gain or
loss resulted from this transaction.
      All the aforementioned acquisitions were accounted for as
purchase transactions.  The impact of these acquisitions on
consolidated results of operations was not significant.  These
companies have been included in the consolidated financial
statements from their respective dates of acquisition or to the
date of disposition.

Note 3 - Inventories
      At December 31, 1993 and 1992 approximately 86% and 85%,
respectively, of the total inventories are accounted for by the
LIFO method.  At year end, inventories consist of:

$ 86,561
</TABLE>

The LIFO reserve represents the excess of FIFO cost, which
approximates current cost, over the LIFO value of inventory.

Note 4 - Income Taxes
      Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes".  The cumulative effect of the
change as of January 1, 1993 was a benefit of $1,965 ($.14 per
share) for continuing operations and $3,106 ($.22 per share) for
discontinued operations.  As a result of the 1993 increase in the
U.S. federal income tax rate from 34% to 35%, the current year
effect was to in-

      During 1992 and 1991, respectively, deferred income taxes
(benefits) provided for temporary differences in the recognition
of revenue and expense for tax and financial statement purposes
consisted principally of the following: purchased tax benefit
leases - $(2,556) and $(3,422); real estate ventures - $3,775 and
$659; leveraged leases - $1,900 and $1,405; retirement and
deferred compensation plans - $1,130 and $(669); inventory
valuation - $495 and $(13); and bad debts - $233 and $(375).
      The components of the deferred tax liabilities (assets) at
December 31, 1993 are comprised of the following:

Note 5 - Capital Stock and Earnings per Share
      Except for voting and dividend rights, the two classes of
common capital stock are identical.  Class A stockholders are
entitled to one-tenth vote per share and have the right to elect
25% of all directors, but not less than two.  Common stockholders
are entitled to one vote per share and have the right to elect
the remaining number of directors.  Upon a change of control of
the Company (as defined in the Company's certificate of
incorporation), the Class A stock will automatically be changed
into Common stock.
                                                                  
           
Page 26

<PAGE>
      Cash dividends declared on Class A stock are required to be
2.5 cents per share more than dividends declared on Common stock
(up to a maximum of 10 cents per share per year).  The 2.5 cents
premium was increased to 12.5 cents for each dividend declared in
the ten quarters beginning with the third quarter of 1990 and
ending with the fourth quarter of 1992. As provided in a 1989
corporate charter amendment creating the Class A stock, the
increase in Class A dividends was required due to the relative
market prices of Common and Class A stock during the three months
ended June 28, 1990.  Beginning with dividends declared in the
second quarter of 1993, the quarterly dividends on Common stock
and Class A stock were reduced by $.05 as a result of the spinoff
of AptarGroup, Inc. on April 22, 1993.
      Net income per share of common capital stock is based on the
combined weighted average number of Class A and Common shares
outstanding which does not include shares issuable upon exercise
of outstanding non-qualified stock options or shares
distributable as performance share awards because the dilutive
effect is not significant.
Note 6 - Stock Options and Awards
      The Company's 1990 stock awards plan provides for the
issuance of up to 500,000 shares of Class A stock to employees
pursuant to options, performance share rights and other awards. 
Certain awards are payable in the form of Class A stock or cash. 
Performance share rights and non-qualified options vest ratably
over terms of three years and five years and are exercisable up
to ten years from date of grant.  During 1993 the Compensation
Committee amended the options then outstanding to reflect the
valuation of the AptarGroup, Inc. spunoff in April 1993 by
increasing the options granted by 10,500 shares.  During 1992,
the Company vested and issued shares or paid in cash all
performance share rights then outstanding.
      Activity in options and performance share rights for Class A
stock is summarized as follows (prices shown are per share):

      In addition, the Company has granted other awards which
provide additional deferred compensation based on the fair market
value or the increase in fair market value of the Company's Class
A stock.  The cost of these compensation agreements is provided
currently as it relates to prior service and ratably over the
employees' future employment as it applies to future service. 
Awards of performance share rights are expensed as compensation
at the date of grant.  Expense under all of these arrangements
amounted to $1,180, $2,098, and $2,351 in 1993, 1992 and 1991,
respectively.

Note 7 - Retirement Plans
      The Company has various noncontributory retirement plans
covering substantially all current and certain former domestic
employees.  Retirement benefits for employees in foreign
countries are generally provided by national statutory programs. 
Benefits for domestic employees are based on years of service and
annual compensation as defined by each plan.  The Company's
policy is to fund pension costs accrued.  In early 1991 the
Company withdrew from participation in a union sponsored
retirement plan.  Under the terms of the termination agreement,
the Company recorded a total withdrawal liability of $1,655. 
Prior to withdrawal, the Company's contribution to such a plan
was determined and funded based on a collective bargaining
arrangement.
      In 1992 the Company recognized a curtailment gain of $1,845
resulting from a net decrease in projected benefit obligations
(less unrecognized prior service costs) of employees of the
divisions sold.  This gain is included in the net gain on
disposal of discontinued operations.
      The components of net pension cost (income) for the plans
consists of:

</TABLE>

      Plan assets consist primarily of U.S. government
obligations, investment grade corporate bonds and common and
preferred stocks.  The projected benefit obligation was
determined using an assumed discount rate of 7% and an assumed
rate of increase in compensation of 5% for both years.  The
expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was 7% for both
years.
      Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 106,
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than
Pensions", which requires the accrual of the expected cost of
retiree medical and life insurance benefits over the period the
employee provides services to the Company.  Prior to the change,
costs were charged to expense as incurred.  The cumulative effect
reported in the 1993 consolidated statement of income is an
after-tax charge of $430, or $(.03) per share.  The annual
expense for these postretirement benefits was not significant in
1993, 1992 or 1991.

Note 8 - Debt
      The average annual interest rate on short-term notes payable
was approximately 4.3% (3.6% domestic and 11.8% foreign) and
16.2% (all foreign) at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. 
There are no compensating balance or commitment fee requirements
associated with these short-term borrowings.  The Company has
guaranteed indebtedness of $1,200 relating to real estate
ventures in which it participates.  Under the terms of the 8.6%
notes payable, retained earnings available for dividends amounted
to $73,501 at December 31, 1993.
      Aggregate long-term maturities due annually for the five
years beginning in 1994 are $5,649, $4,050, $288, $297, $1,225
and $223 thereafter.

Note 9 - Leveraged Leases
      The Company is an equity participant in leveraged leases of
aircraft and communication satellite transponders.  As the
Company has no general liability for the nonrecourse debt
attributable to the acquisition of such assets, the debt has been
offset against the related rentals receivable.  The net
investment in leveraged leases consists of:

Note 10 - Lease Commitments
      The Company leases certain manufacturing facilities,
warehouses, office space and equipment under noncancelable
operating leases expiring at various dates through the year 2005. 
Most of the leases contain renewal options and certain equipment
leases include options to purchase during or at the end of the
lease term.  Minimum annual rental commitments under all
noncancelable leases for the next five years beginning with 1994
are $11,242, $10,189, $8,849, $8,095, $7,332 and an aggregate of
$14,014 thereafter.  Rental commitments are stated net of minimum
sublease rentals aggregating $4,502. Total rent expense
(including taxes, insurance and maintenance when included in the
rent) amounted to $15,484, $14,365 and $12,237 in 1993, 1992 and
1991, respectively.

Note 11 - Contingencies and Commitments
      In 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 the litigation, the costs of
the ultimate judgment, if any, and the costs of mandated remedial
work.  The agreement provides for the Company to make
subordinated loans to Saddlebrook to enable Saddlebrook to pay
its 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.
      The Company has committed to invest up to a total of $17
million for certain ventures through 1996, including $6.7 million
due in 1994 to complete its investment commitment in a satellite
broadcasting company.
      The Company in the normal course of business is subject to a
number of lawsuits and claims both actual and potential in
nature.  While management believes that resolution of existing
claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on
the Company's financial statements, management is unable to
estimate the magnitude of financial impact of claims and lawsuits
which may be filed in the future.

Note 12 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
      The carrying amount of cash and equivalents, accounts
receivable, short-term marketable securities, accounts payable,
accrued expenses and notes payable approximates fair value
because of the short maturity of these instruments.  At December
31, 1993 and 1992, the estimated fair values of the Company's
notes receivable exceed their carrying values of $9,321 and
$12,174 by approximately $1,700 and $1,200, respectively, and the
estimated fair values of the Company's long-term debt exceed
their carrying values of $11,732 and $15,427 by approximately
$300 and $600, respectively.  These fair values were calculated
based upon the present value of estimated cash flows using
appropriate discount rates.  The estimated fair values of the
Company's long-term investments which are considered financial
instruments (investments in affordable housing projects, zero
basis real estate ventures, a satellite broadcasting company and
a residential security products company) exceed their carrying
values of $26,708 (excluding related deferred income taxes) at
December 31, 1993 by $17,300 based upon available information. 
The estimated fair values of such long-term investments at
December 31, 1992 approximate their carrying values (excluding
related deferred income taxes) of $19,517.  The use of different
market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a
material effect on the estimated fair value amounts and the
estimates presented above may not necessarily be indicative of
the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market
exchange.

Note 13 - Segment Information
      The Company operates principally in two industry segments.
      The Alarm and Other Security Products segment involves the
design, manufacture and sale of an extensive line of burglar
alarm and commercial fire detection and alarm components and
systems and the distribution of alarm and other security products
manufactured by other companies.
      The Publishing segment is engaged in the publication of
national business magazines with other businesses in the
marketing-communications field.
      Sales within and between segments and geographic areas are
made at approximate arm's-length prices.  Operating income
consists of sales less operating expenses.  Certain overhead
support expenses previously classified as general corporate
operating expenses have now been allocated to industry segments
and totaled in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively: $1,945, $1,855
and $1,147 for Alarm and Other Security Products and $804, $771
and $732 for Publishing.  Sales and expenses which were not
related to or identifiable with specific segments are included in
General Corporate and Other.  Identifiable assets are those
assets that are specifically identified with the industry
segments and geographic areas in which operations are conducted. 
Eliminations include sales between segments and geographic areas
and related intercompany accounts.  Export sales were not
material and no single customer accounted for ten percent of
sales.

Report of Independent Accountants

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Pittway Corporation
         
         In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet and the related consolidated statements of income, of cash
flows and of stockholders' equity present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Pittway Corporation and its
subsidiaries at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of Pittway Corporation's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.  We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the
opinion expressed above.
      As discussed in Notes 4 and 7 to the consolidated financial
statements, in 1993 the Company changed its method of accounting
for income taxes and for postretirement benefits other than
pensions.

Management's Responsibility for Financial Statements
      The financial statements of Pittway Corporation and its
consolidated subsidiaries, and all other information presented in
this Annual Report, are the responsibility of the management of
the Company.  These statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles consistently
applied and reflect in all material respects the substance of
events and transactions that should be included.
      Management is responsible for the accuracy and objectivity
of the financial statements, including estimates and judgments
reflected therein, and fulfills this responsibility primarily by
establishing and maintaining accounting systems and practices
adequately supported by internal accounting controls.  Management
believes that the internal accounting controls in use are
satisfactory to provide reasonable assurance that the Company's
assets are safeguarded, that transactions are executed in
accordance with management's authorizations, and that the
financial records are reliable for the purpose of preparing
financial statements.
      Independent accountants were selected by the Board of
Directors, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, to
audit the financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards.  Their audits, as well as those of
the Company's internal audit department, include a review of
internal accounting control policies and procedures and selective
tests of transactions.
      The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which
consists of two directors who are not officers or employees of
the Company, meets regularly with management, the internal
auditors and the independent accountants to review matters
relating to financial reporting, internal accounting controls,
and auditing.  The independent accountants have unrestricted
access to the Audit Committee.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of 
Consolidated Results of Operations 
and Financial Condition

RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS
      Sales increased 14% in 1993 and 10% in 1992 principally due
to higher sales levels in the Company's alarm system segment. 
Domestic sales increased 15% in 1993 and 9% in 1992. 
International sales, representing 10% of total consolidated sales
in 1993 and 11% in 1992, relate to the alarm segment and
increased 6% in 1993 and 18% in 1992.  The larger increase in
1992 is primarily due to the expansion of European operations.

      Alarm product sales increased 20% in 1993 and 18% in 1992. 
Although the overall alarm systems industry is growing slowly,
the Company's manufacturing and distribution businesses are
increasing their market share as a result of growing dealer and
distribution support for new products introduced in the last few
years.

      Operating income increased 41% in 1993 and 49% in 1992
because of expanded sales volume in the areas noted above and
because of the benefits of new product development and
manufacturing efficiencies.  Research and development expense
amounted to $10.8 million and $10 million in 1993 and 1992,
respectively, reflecting continuing development and expansion of
the Company's burglar and fire alarm products and systems.

      Publishing sales for 1993 remained relatively unchanged from
the 1992 and 1991 levels due to the continuing media recession. 
Operating income increased 5% in 1993 primarily due to the
ancillary operations of the business and increased 108% in 1992
primarily due to cost controls and restructuring activities.

      Depreciation and amortization expense increased both in 1993
and 1992 as a result of capital additions, principally in the
alarm segment.

      Other income (expense) was more favorable in 1993 than in
1992 because of reduced translation losses, increased income from
an affiliate and from leveraged leases, and reduced interest
expense.  While total borrowings increased in 1993, lower
interest rates on short-term notes payable and the reduction in
long-term debt resulted in a decrease in interest expense.  Other
income (expense) was more favorable in 1992 than in 1991 because
of higher income from leveraged leases, lower net interest
expense and the write-off of an investment in a radio-based
credit card approval service in 1991.

      Effective tax rates were 41.2% in 1993, 43.0% in 1992 and
41.9% in 1991. An analysis of the Company's effective tax rate
appears in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.  As a
result of the 1993 increase in the U.S. Federal income tax rate
from 34% to 35%, the current year effect was to increase the
Federal income tax provision by $1.2 million ($.4 million related
to 1993 income and $.8 million to increase prior accumulated
deferred taxes).

ACCOUNTING CHANGES
      Effective January 1, 1993 the Company adopted the provisions
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 106,
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than
Pensions", and No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".  The
cumulative effect on prior years of the changes in accounting
principles as of January 1, 1993 was a $1.9 million benefit for
income taxes and a $.4 million after-tax charge for
postretirement benefits.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
      Sales and earnings from packaging operations decreased in
1993 due to the spinoff of AptarGroup, Inc. in April 1993. 
Income from discontinued operations was favorably impacted by a
$3.1 million benefit from the adoption of SFAS No. 109 in the
first quarter of 1993.
      Sales and earnings from packaging operations increased in
1992 as a result of improvement in the cosmetic and perfumery
markets

in Europe and growth in personal care markets in the United
States.  These favorable results were partially offset by sales
and earnings reductions in the contract packaging business which
was sold in October 1992.  Sales and earnings of residential
smoke detector and related retail products were significantly
lower in 1992 compared to 1991 due to the disposition of these
operations in July 1992, prior to the peak sales season.

      A net after-tax gain of $16.6 million was recorded on the
1992 divestitures.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
      The Company's financial condition remained strong through
1993.  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.  The Company
has an investment of $5 million in common stock of First Alert,
Inc. (formerly Pittway's First Alert/BRK Electronics business). 
First Alert filed a registration statement with the S.E.C. in
early February 1994 for an initial public offering of its common
stock.  If completed, the offering may also include some or all
of Pittway's stockholding at a price significantly in excess of
its carrying value, providing an additional source of cash for
the Company.

      In 1993 the primary sources of the $21 million net cash
provided by operating activities were operating profits, before
depreciation, amortization and deferred taxes, and an increase in
accrued income taxes.  Such cash generated was partially used to
finance the $37 million increase in accounts receivable and
inventories.  The available cash generated from operations, along
with a $29 million increase in short-term borrowings, were used
to pay for capital expenditures, to increase investments in a
satellite broadcasting venture and in leveraged leases and to
reduce outstanding debt.  Capital expenditures of $29.5 million
were made in 1993 primarily in the alarm system segment to
increase capacity to support the increasing product sales levels
and new product introductions.

      Dividend payments were lower in 1993 than in 1992 because:
the dividend normally paid in January was paid in December 1992;
the dividends on Class A stock in 1992 included an extra $.10 per
share per quarter related to the 1989 merger of Pittway and
Standard Shares, Inc.; and quarterly dividends were reduced by
$.05 per share in 1993 due to the spinoff of AptarGroup, Inc.

      The Company is continually investigating opportunities for
growth in related areas.  It is presently committed to invest
approximately $17 million in certain ventures through 1996,
including $6.7 million due in 1994 to complete its investment
commitment in a satellite broadcasting company.

      The Company has real estate investments in various limited
partnerships with interests in commercial rental properties which
may be sold or turned over to lendors 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, the required 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 December 31, 1993
is approximately $15.2 million.

      The impact of inflation on the Company's results of
operations has lessened in recent years, although inflation does
increase the Company's cost of doing business.  The Company
attempts to offset the impact of inflation through productivity
and technological improvements, cost containment programs and by
increasing its selling prices over time as allowed by market
conditions.  In addition, substantially all domestic inventories
are valued on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, which
generally results in reporting the cost of goods sold at
approximately current costs.
