                    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
SFAS 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.

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 through the spinoff date were
$117,473.


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 retried and rejected in a related administrative
proceeding, is currently scheduled to be heard in December 1994.  If that
motion is not granted, retrial is to begin in April 1995.   The Company and
Saddlebrook have entered into an agreement to split equally the costs of the

                                     9
<PAGE>
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.  


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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the third quarter and first nine months of 1994, sales increased 22% and
19%, respectively, due to higher sales in both the alarm and publishing
segments.  Gross profit grew at a faster rate than sales, (24% for the
quarter and 22% for the first nine months), reflecting better coverage of
fixed costs through higher volume.  Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased 16% over the third quarter and 18% over the first nine
months of 1993 due to increased costs associated with the expanded sales
volume.

Alarm group sales increased 27% to $158.9 million for the quarter and 24% to
$436.9 million for the nine month period due to continued market acceptance
of the newer burglar and commercial fire alarm products.  Although the
overall alarm systems industry is growing moderately, the Company's
manufacturing and distribution businesses are increasing their market share
as a result of growing dealer and distributor support for new products
introduced in the last few years. Operating income for the segment increased
47% to $14.4 million for the quarter and 33% to $33.8 million year-to-date
primarily because of the expanded sales volume.

Publishing group sales increased 7% to $42.8 million for the quarter and
$130.5 million for the nine month period primarily due to a modest increase
in advertising pages coupled with a firming of page rates.  Operating income
for the segment increased 83% to $1.7 million for the quarter and 137% to
$8.1 million year-to-date principally due to the increased advertising
revenues, higher profits from ancillary operations of the business and
improved operating efficiencies.

Other income for the third quarter of 1994 decreased primarily due to a loss
recorded from an affiliate.  Included in other income in the first nine
months of 1994 is a $19.5 million pretax gain on the sale of First Alert,
Inc. common stock recorded in the first half of the year. Excluding this
gain, other income was more favorable in 1994 on a year-to-date basis
primarily due to higher income from marketable securities and a $831,000
favorable swing in foreign currency transaction effects partially offset by
higher interest expense and reduced income from affiliates.  

The effective tax rate decreased in 1994 as a result of lower effective state 
                                    10
<PAGE>
income tax rates and the reduced impact on the overall tax rate of losses
from certain foreign operations for which no tax benefit was recognized.
These favorable effects were partially offset by 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". 

Earnings from discontinued operations in 1993 through the spinoff date
amounted to $10.7 million and includes a $3.1 million benefit from the
adoption of SFAS No. 109. 

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company's financial condition remained strong through the third 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 and to pay dividends. 
As a result of selling its investment in First Alert, Inc. the Company
received $24.5 million in April 1994.  These proceeds were primarily used to
finance the growth in operations, increase investments and pay approximately
$9.7 million in current income taxes associated with the sale.

Through the first nine months of 1994, the primary sources of cash provided
by continuing operations were profits before depreciation, amortization and
the net gain on sale of investment.  Such cash generated was partially used
to finance the net increase in working capital items.  The $14.5 million
available cash generated from operations, along with a $13.3 million net
increase in debt and $14.8 million net proceeds from the sale of the First
Alert investment were used for capital expenditures of $22.9 million,
additional investments of $7.5 million, dividends of $5.0 million and an
increase in marketable securities of $8.0 million. 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 $10 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 September 30, 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
denied plaintiffs' appeal.  The other appeal was voluntarily dismissed by the
plaintiffs on June 17, 1994.  Saddlebrook moved for summary judgment on
December 22, 1993 on the ground that plaintiffs' claims were fully litigated
and decided in administrative action.  Saddlebrook's motion for summary
judgment will be heard by the trial court in December 1994 and, in the event
that such motion is denied, retrial will begin in April 1995.  





                                     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.
