MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to
Three Months Ended June 30, 1999

Sales - Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2000 were
$2,051,116 compared to $2,058,352 for the comparable three months
in the prior fiscal year, a decrease of $7,236. Net sales of
security products decreased by $18,926 as compared to the quarter
ended June 30, 1999. Net sales of other products increased by
$11,690, as compared to the quarter ended June 30,  1999.

Net Income - The Company reported a net profit of $32,473 for the
quarter ended June 30, 2000 compared to net profit of $650,869
for the corresponding quarter of the prior fiscal year. Included
in the June 30, 1999 results was a gain of $804,861 due to the
sale of the Company's headquarters facility. After deducting this
gain, the net loss would have been $153,992. The primary reason
for the decrease in losses was higher gross margins.

Expenses - Research, selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased by $58,765 from the comparable three months in the
prior year. As a percentage of sales, research, selling, general
and administrative expenses were 30% for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 and 33% for the same period in the last fiscal
year. The decrease in expenses was mainly due to lower operating
costs associated with the Company's move to its new
headquarters.

Interest Expense and Income - The Company's interest expense, net
of interest income, decreased from $47,927 for the quarter ended
June 30, 1999 to $40,462 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. The
lower interest expenses resulted from lower levels of borrowing.

Financial Condition and Liquidity - Cash needs of the Company are
currently met by funds generated from operations and the
Company's line of credit with a financial institution, which
supplies both short-term borrowings and letters of credit to
finance foreign inventory purchases. The Company's maximum bank
line of credit is currently the lower of $7,500,000 or specified
percentages of the Company's accounts receivable and inventory.
Approximately $1,761,633 has been utilized in letter of credit
commitments and short-term borrowings as of June 30, 2000.  As of
June 30, 2000, the amount available for additional borrowings
under the line was approximately $240,000 based on the specified
percentages.


                              - 8 -

The outstanding principal balance of the revolving credit line is
payable upon demand.  The interest rate on the revolving credit
line is equal to 1-1/2% in excess of the prime rate of interest
charged by the Company's lender.  The loan is collateralized by
the Company's accounts receivable, inventory and a 1.5 acre
parcel of the Company's real estate.

Operating activities used cash of $895,814 for the quarter ended
June 30, 2000.  This was primarily due to an increase in accounts
receivable of $693,618, increase in inventories and prepaid
expenses of $396,319, partially offset by an increase in accounts
payable and accrued expenses of $275,143. For the same period
last year, operating activities used cash of $868,377.

Investing activities used cash of $4,164 in the current quarter.
For the same period last year, investing activities provided cash
of $2,078,745. This resulted from the proceeds of the sale of the
building.

Financing activities provided cash of $914,167, primarily due to
the increase of short-term debt of $917,960. For the same period
last year, financing activities used cash of $1,177,406.

Accounts receivable increased due to the addition of a different
customer base which requires extended dating terms.

The Company believes that its line of credit and its working
capital provide it with sufficient resources to meet its
requirements for liquidity and working capital in the ordinary
course of its business over the next twelve months.

Hong Kong Joint Venture - Net sales of the joint venture for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 were $1,981,215 compared to
$1,774,875 for the comparable three months in the prior fiscal
year.  The increase in sales was primarily due to increased sales
of smoke alarms.

Net income was $252,842 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000
compared to $218,425 in the comparable quarter last year. The
increase in net income resulted from higher sales to non-related
customers.

Cash needs of the Hong Kong joint venture are currently met by
funds generated from operations.  During the quarter ended June
30, 2000, working capital increased by $480,863 from $2,432,197
on March 31, 2000 to $2,913,060 on June 30, 2000. During the
quarter ended June 30, 1999, working capital increased by
$726,005 from $2,069,790 on March 31, 1999 to $2,795,795 on June
30, 1999.
