                 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Participants and the
Administrative Committee of the
Pittway Corporation Blue Chip 
Profit Sharing and Savings Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets 
available for benefits, and the related statements of changes in 
net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material 
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Pittway 
Corporation Blue Chip Profit Sharing and Savings Plan at December 
31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in the net assets available 
for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles.  These financial 
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's Administrative 
Committee; 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 the Plan's 
Administrative Committee, and evaluating the overall financial 
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a 
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion 
on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The 
additional information included in the supplemental schedules is 
presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a 
required part of the basic financial statements but is additional 
information required by ERISA.  The Fund Information in the 
statements of net assets available for benefits and the 
statements of changes in net assets available for benefits is 
presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to 
present the net assets available for benefits and the changes in 
net assets available for benefits of each fund.  The supplemental 
schedules and Fund Information have been subjected to the 
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial 
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated, in all 
material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements 
taken as a whole.

                             PITTWAY CORPORATION
                 BLUE CHIP PROFIT SHARING AND SAVINGS PLAN

                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN:

The Pittway Corporation Blue Chip Profit Sharing and Savings Plan (the 
"Plan") covers eligible full-time employees of Pittway Corporation and 
certain of its subsidiaries (the "Company" or the "Employer").  The Plan is 
administered by a committee appointed by the Company.

An employee becomes eligible to participate on the first day of each 
calendar quarter after the completion of one year of service.  
Participation is elected by authorizing employee earnings contributions to 
the plan.  Contributions could be of not less than 1 percent and not more 
than 15 percent of earnings (subject to Internal Revenue Service 
limitations). Participants' earnings are generally defined as total 
compensation for services rendered to a participating Employer.  
Participants may elect to suspend their contributions at any time.  
Eligible employees will not share in any Employer contributions for any 
period in which they voluntarily suspend their contributions or do not 
participate in the Plan.  Active participation can be elected again on the 
next regular enrollment date.

The amount of Employer contributions is determined annually for each 
separate participating Employer.  Such contributions are computed as a 
matching percentage of each participant's contribution within specified 
limits.

The investment funds available to participants are the Pittway Stock Fund, 
Fidelity Magellan Fund, Fidelity Money Market Fund, the Fidelity Growth and 
Income Fund and the Fidelity Managed Income Fund. In April 1993, the 
AptarGroup Stock Fund was established when the Company spun off its 
Seaquist Group into a separate company called AptarGroup, Inc. and 
distributed one share of AptarGroup, Inc. common stock for each share of 
Pittway Class A Stock held.  Any dividends paid on the AptarGroup Stock 
Fund are transferred and reinvested in the Pittway Stock Fund.

A participant may elect to transfer certain portions of his or her account 
in the Plan from one fund to another up to twelve times per year subject to 
certain restrictions.

Each participant is fully vested in his or her contributions at all times. 
Vesting of the Employer contribution occurs at the rate of 20 percent per 

                                    10
<PAGE>
year on a cumulative basis for each year of service with a participating 
Employer.  Forfeitures of nonvested amounts occur when a participant 
terminates employment for any reason other than retirement after age 65, 
death, or disability.  Upon withdrawal from the Plan, the participant will 
receive the amount of his or her contributions plus the vested portion of 
his or her Employer contributions.  Forfeited amounts are used to reduce 
future contributions of the Employer.

Fidelity Management Trust Company is the trustee of the plan investments in 
the Fidelity Magellan Fund, Fidelity Growth & Income Fund, Fidelity Money 
Market Fund and Fidelity Managed Income Fund.  CTC Illinois Trust Company, 
a subsidiary of The Bank of New York Company, Inc., is the trustee of the 
plan investments in the AptarGroup Stock Fund and the Pittway Stock Fund.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Basis of accounting

The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared on the accrual 
basis of accounting.  Certain prior year amounts in the statement of 
changes in net assets available for benefits have been reclassified to 
conform to the current year classification. 

Investments

The AptarGroup Stock Fund and Pittway Stock Fund invest in shares of 
AptarGroup, Inc. common stock and Pittway Corporation Class A stock, 
respectively.  The Fidelity Magellan Fund is an open end mutual fund that 
invests in the stocks of both well-known and lesser-known foreign and 
domestic companies. The Fidelity Growth and Income Fund is an open end 
mutual fund that invests in common stocks, securities convertible into 
common stocks, preferred stocks and fixed-income securities.  The Fidelity 
Money Market Fund is an open end mutual fund that invests in obligations 
issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. Government.  
The Fidelity Managed Income Fund is a pooled investment fund that invests 
in high-quality, short and long term investment contracts, bank investment 
contracts, short-term money market instruments and debt obligations issued 
by one institution and insured by another as to the payment of principal at 
maturity.

Investments in the AptarGroup Stock Fund and Pittway Stock Fund are valued 
at quoted market prices.  Investments in the Fidelity Magellan Fund and 
Fidelity Growth and Income Fund are valued at quoted market prices which 
represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end.  
Investments in the Fidelity Money Market Fund and Fidelity Managed Income 
Fund are stated at fair value as determined by the trustee.  Participant 
loans are valued at cost which approximates market value.

                                     11
<PAGE>
Purchases and sales of securities, including related gains and losses, are 
recorded as of the trade date.

Interest income is recorded when earned.  Dividend income is recorded on 
the ex-dividend date.

The cost of securities sold is determined on an average cost basis.  In 
accordance with regulatory requirements for the Plan's Form 5500, the cost 
of securities sold is determined based on the fund price at the beginning 
of the plan year.  This treatment results in a difference in realized and 
unrealized appreciation or depreciation between the Plan's Form 5500 and 
the financial statements.

Participant loans

The Plan provides that a participant may, for reasons of financial 
hardship, borrow from the Plan an amount of at least $1000 and not to 
exceed 50 percent of the participant's vested account balance.  Each 
participant loan is evidenced by a note and is considered an investment of 
that participant's account.  Accordingly, principal and interest payments 
are credited to the respective participant's account.  Each participant 
note carries an interest rate equal to the prime rate plus one percent on 
the date of the loan, and repayment occurs through payroll withholding over 
a period not to exceed 54 months.

Loan proceeds are withdrawn from the participant's account on a defined 
source and fund hierarchy. Loan repayments are applied to funds based on 
the most recent fund election percentage designated by the participant. 
This activity is reflected within net transfers between funds. All loan 
fees are paid by participants and netted against loan interest income.

Contributions

Employer and employee contributions are invested monthly directly in 
appropriate funds based on the most recent fund election percentage 
designated by the participant.

Benefit payment obligations

Benefit payment obligations to terminated employees at year-end are not 
presented as a liability in the Statements of Net Assets Available for 
Benefits or as benefit payments in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets 
Available for Benefits with Fund Information.  This treatment results in a 
difference between the Plan's Form 5500 and the financial statements.  The 
following is a reconciliation of net assets available for benefits per the 
financial statements and the Form 5500:

Trustee and administrative expenses

Expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan are paid by the 
Company.

NOTE 3 - PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS:

Party-in-interest transactions consisted of loans made to participants and 
investments in the Pittway Stock Fund and AptarGroup Stock Fund.  Stock in 
the Pittway Stock Fund is acquired on the open market at fair market value 
on the date purchased.  

Party-in-interest transactions also consist of the investments in the 
Fidelity Funds as Fidelity is the trustee of the plan.

NOTE 4 - FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS:

The Company has received a favorable determination from the Internal 
Revenue Service by letter dated May 22, 1995, that the Plan, as amended, is 
designed in accordance with section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code 
(IRC).  The Trust has been determined to be exempt from taxation under 
Section 501(a). The Plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed 
and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable 
requirements of the IRC.

NOTE 5 - AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN:

The Plan may be amended at any time by the Company. However, no amendment 
may adversely affect the current rights of the participants in the Plan 
with respect to contributions made prior to the date of the amendment.  
Employer contributions may be discontinued and the Company may terminate 
the Plan at any time.

The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income 
Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) applicable to defined contribution plans.  
Since the Plan provides for an individual account for each participant and 

                                     13
<PAGE>
for benefits based solely on the amount contributed to the participant's 
account and any income, expenses, gains and losses attributed thereto, its 
benefits are not insured by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation 
pursuant to Title IV of ERISA.
