                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
                          ----------------------------


The Board of Directors

North Pittsburgh Systems, Inc.


We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of North Pittsburgh Systems,
Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the
related statements of earnings, shareholders' equity and comprehensive income
and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
1999.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards 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.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of North Pittsburgh
Systems, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
