      The undersigned Registrant hereby amends the Independent Auditors' Report
of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 as set
forth in the pages attached hereto:


                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Directors

North Pittsburgh Systems, Inc.:


We have audited the consolidated financial statements of North Pittsburgh
Systems, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as listed in the accompanying
index. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements,
we also have audited the financial statement schedule as listed in the
accompanying index. These consolidated financial statements and financial
statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements and financial statement schedule 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. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule,
when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken
as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth
therein.
