NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(i) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
incorporate the financial statements of ADT Limited, a company incorporated in
Bermuda, and its subsidiaries (the "Company") and have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X
and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States. Accordingly, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles for annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have
been included; all such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature, except
as discussed in note (iii) where, effective January 1, 1996, the Company
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, and except for the
acquisition of Alert Centre, Inc. ("Alert") as discussed in note (ix). The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. Certain figures at December 31, 1995 and for the three months ended
March 31, 1995 have been reclassified to conform to the 1996 presentation. In
particular, corporate expenses have been reclassified from other expenses less
income to a separate component of operating income. This reclassification has
had no net effect on the reported earnings for income before income taxes and
net income. Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full
year ending December 31, 1996. For further information, see the Company's
consolidated financial statements, including the accounting policies and notes
thereto, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1995. ADT Limited is a holding company with no independent business
operations or assets other than its investment in its subsidiaries,
intercompany balances and holdings of cash and cash equivalents. ADT Limited's
businesses are conducted through its subsidiaries.

(iii) CHARGE FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Effective January 1, 1996, the Company was required to adopt Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ("SFAS 121") "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of."
SFAS 121 prescribes a methodology for assessing and measuring an impairment
loss that is significantly different from previous guidelines and procedures.

SFAS 121 requires the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived
assets, primarily property, plant and equipment, and related goodwill, to be
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Under SFAS 121 it
is necessary to evaluate for and calculate an impairment loss at the lowest
level of asset grouping for which there are identifiable cash flows. Under
SFAS 121, if an asset being tested for recoverability was acquired in a
business combination accounted for using the purchase method, the goodwill that
arose in the transaction is included in the impairment evaluation of that
asset.

SFAS 121 requires that an impairment loss is recognized when the carrying
amount of an asset exceeds the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash
flows of the asset. Under SFAS 121 an impairment loss is calculated as the
difference between the carrying amount of the asset, including the related
goodwill, and its fair value. The carrying amount of the related goodwill is
eliminated before making any reduction in the carrying amount of any other
impaired long-lived asset.

(iii) CHARGE FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS (continued)

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 121, the Company's policy was to evaluate for
impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill, on a global basis for each
business segment. Management has determined that within the electronic
security services division the lowest level of asset grouping referred to above
can be determined on a country by country basis and further split principally
in terms of commercial and residential sectors. The assets principally
comprise subscriber systems installed at customers' premises, which are
included in property plant and equipment, and the related goodwill. Within the
vehicle auction services division the lowest level of asset grouping can be
determined principally on an individual auction center basis, and the assets
principally comprise land and real estate, which are included in property plant
and equipment, and the related goodwill. In adopting SFAS 121 management has
estimated the fair values referred to above by using an analysis of estimated
discounted future cash flows as the best available estimate of fair value. The
basis of the calculation was the Company's business strategy, plans and
financial projections, and an appropriate discount factor based on the
Company's estimated cost of capital.

As a result of the adoption of SFAS 121, in particular the change in
methodology requiring the Company to evaluate assets at the lowest level of
asset grouping, rather than on a global basis, in the first quarter of 1996 the
Company recorded a non-cash charge for the impairment of long-lived assets of
$410.1 million, as a separate line item in the consolidated statement of
income, with no consequential tax effect.

The $410.1 million impairment charge comprised $395.4 million relating to
goodwill in the electronic security services division, $13.0 million relating
to goodwill in the vehicle auction services division, and $1.7 million relating
to other long-lived assets in the electronic security services division, which
facilitated the write-down of the long-lived assets to their estimated fair
values.

The $395.4 million impairment charge in the electronic security services
division related to an impairment in the carrying value of subscriber systems
principally in the commercial sector, including related goodwill which
principally arose on the acquisition of ADT Security Systems in 1987. In the
United States, where the adoption of SFAS 121 coincided with a reorganization
of the business, the impairment charge amounted to $302.4 million. The
Re-Engineering Project, which was commenced in 1995, is continuing in the
United States. In the context of the Re-Engineering Project and changes in the
electronic security services business environment, the electronic security
services operations have been reorganized along separate commercial and
residential business lines, rather than on a geographic basis, with effect from
the second quarter of 1996. In Canada, where the business performance has
continued to be disappointing, the impairment charge amounted to $56.0 million.
In Europe, the impairment charge amounted to $37.0 million, principally due to
the business performance of certain countries not meeting previous
expectations.

The $13.0 million impairment charge in the vehicle auction services division
related to an impairment in the carrying value of property and related
improvements, including related goodwill which principally arose on the
acquisition of ADT Automotive in 1987.

(iv) INTEREST INCOME AND INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest income and interest expense are discussed in Item 2.

(v) OTHER EXPENSES LESS INCOME

Other expenses less income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 comprised
non-recurring net gains arising from the ownership of investments of $1.2
million (note (viii)), losses on currency transactions of $1.7 million (1995 -
$0.7 million gain), and in respect of 1995 other net gains of $0.4 million.

(vi) PRIMARY (LOSS) EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

The calculation of primary (loss) earnings per common share was based on the
weighted average of 128,805,641 (1995 - 129,756,727) common shares in issue
during the period, which in 1996 did not allow for full conversion rights
attaching to the allotment of common shares under executive share option
schemes, which are considered common stock equivalents, because their effect
was anti-dilutive as a consequence of the net loss for the period. Common
stock equivalents included in the weighted average number of common shares in
issue during the three months ended March 31, 1995 was 1,870,531. Primary
(loss) earnings per common share was based on adjusted net loss of $379.2
million (1995 - $27.0 million income).

(viii) INVESTMENT IN AND LOANS TO ASSOCIATE

In February 1996, the Company disposed of its entire interest in Shareholder
Loan Notes with an issue price of $13.9 million and valued by the Company at
$13.3 million and 33.1 per cent of the ordinary share capital of ITS valued by
the Company at $0.9 million, for an aggregate cash consideration of $15.4
million. The net gain arising on the transaction amounted to $1.2 million
which was included in other expenses less income (note (v)).

As a result of the above transaction, the Company now holds a 10.0 per cent
interest in the ordinary share capital of ITS, valued by the Company at a
nominal amount, together with the Vendor Note, which at March 31, 1996 is
disclosed as a long-term investment amounting to $75.5 million.

(ix) MINORITY INTERESTS

In February 1996, following approval by Alert's shareholders, Alert was merged
into the Company and, as a result, those shares then held by the minority
shareholders and not owned by the Company were converted into the right to
receive in cash the price paid per share by the Company in the initial tender
offer. Accordingly, the minority interest outstanding at December 31, 1995 has
been eliminated.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
1995

Net sales of the division, which represented approximately 79 per cent of the
Company's consolidated net sales for the quarter, increased 7.2 per cent in
1996 to $279.7 million from $261.0 million in the first quarter of 1995. This
sales increase was attributable to an increase of $30.0 million in the sales of
the North American operations offset by a $11.3 million decline in the sales of
the European operations, which was principally due to the exclusion of sales of
the European electronic article surveillance operation which was sold in
November 1995. In North America the increase in sales was due to the first
time inclusion of the sales of Alert which was acquired in December 1995, as
well as increased recurring monitoring and maintenance revenues arising from a
larger base of residential security systems. Approximately 60,000 new
residential security systems were installed in the first quarter of 1996
compared with approximately 56,000 systems in the first quarter of 1995.
However, due to price competition in the market place, installation revenues
showed a modest decline in the first quarter of 1996 compared with 1995. The
commercial business in the United States experienced modest growth in new
system sales and installation revenues, and growth in recurring revenues
continues to be affected by these market conditions.

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

Operating results of the division declined from $37.7 million income in the
first quarter of 1995 to $351.1 million loss in 1996, due to a charge for the
impairment of long-lived assets of $397.1 million.

Operating income of the division before the charge for the impairment of
long-lived assets and goodwill amortization increased 16.5 per cent in 1996 to
$49.4 million from $42.4 million in the first quarter of 1995. Operating
income before the charge for the impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill
amortization as a percentage of net sales ("Operating margin") increased to
17.7 per cent in 1996 from 16.2 per cent in the first quarter of 1995. The
increase in operating income before the charge for the impairment of long-lived
assets and amortization and the increase in Operating margin reflected the
first time inclusion of Alert, the exclusion of the European electronic article
surveillance operation and the continuing success of the residential security
system sales program, which has achieved further advances in recurring revenues
in the first quarter of 1996. However this improvement has been offset by
continued price competition which has caused the contribution from installation
revenue and outright sales to remain flat.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
1995

Net sales of the United States vehicle auction services business, which
represented approximately 21 per cent of the Company's consolidated net sales
for the quarter, increased 7.2 per cent in 1996 to $74.6 million from $69.6
million in the first quarter of 1995. The volume of vehicles sold increased by
approximately 5 per cent which was principally due to an increase in the volume
of vehicles sold for fleet lease customers of approximately 39 per cent, while
the volume of vehicles sold for vehicle manufacturers and new and used vehicle
dealers declined by approximately 9 per cent and approximately 1 per cent,
respectively.

Operating results of the division declined from $22.7 million income in the
first quarter of 1995 to $2.2 million loss in 1996 due to a charge for the
impairment of long-lived assets of $13.0 million and the exclusion of the
operating income of European Auctions.

Operating income before the charge for the impairment of long-lived assets and
goodwill amortization of the United States vehicle auction services business
declined from $11.7 million in the first quarter of 1995 to $11.6 million in
1996. Operating margin declined from 16.8 per cent in 1995 to 15.5 per cent in
1996. The declines in operating income and Operating margin were due
principally to severe weather conditions prevailing in the first quarter,
particularly on the East coast. Snow removal costs and cancelled auctions
caused adverse operating income movements in excess of $1.0 million. This
adverse movement was offset by an increase in the ratio of vehicles sold to
vehicles entered for sale to 60.1 per cent in 1996 from 57.4 per cent in 1995
which was due to a higher proportion of vehicles entered for sale by fleet
lease customers.

INTEREST INCOME AND INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest income increased by $2.7 million in the first quarter of 1996 to $6.4
million from $3.7 million in the first quarter of 1995, partly due to the
increase in the level of cash deposits held by the Company in 1996, following
the disposal of European Auctions and the European electronic article
surveillance business in the fourth quarter of 1995. During the first
quarter of 1996 interest income included $2.1 million relating to the ITS
Vendor Note.

Interest expense declined by $3.2 million from $22.9 million in the first
quarter of 1995 to $19.7 million in the first quarter of 1996, principally due
to the effects of the refinancing which took place in the third quarter of
1995. During the first quarter of 1996 interest expense included $5.0 million
relating to Liquid Yield Option Notes discount amortization and $0.8 million
(1995 - $1.4 million) relating to refinancing costs amortization.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The net decrease in cash and cash equivalents amounted to $19.7 million, after
the negative effect of currency translation on cash and cash equivalents of
$0.6 million. Net cash of $55.0 million provided by operating activities and
$0.2 million provided by financing activities was offset by net cash utilized
by investing activities of $74.3 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities of $55.0 million principally included
cash provided by the Company's electronic security services and vehicle auction
services divisions less other expenses and

adjusted for the net increase in working capital. Within the net increase of
$29.8 million in working capital, increases in accounts receivable of $49.6
million and other assets of $1.4 million were offset by a net increase in
liabilities of $21.2 million, principally relating to increases in accounts
payable and deferred revenue and a decrease in other liabilities. The
movements in accounts receivable and accounts payable were principally due to
the timing of cash receipts and payments in the vehicle auction business in
respect of vehicle sales which took place in the latter part of March 1996,
together with an increase in accounts receivable in the electronic security
services division. The movement in deferred revenue was principally due to the
timing of billings within the electronic security services division.

Net cash utilized by investing activities of $74.3 million was principally due
to capital expenditures of $63.9 million and $3.5 million in the electronic
security services and vehicle auction services divisions, respectively, and
$20.6 million relating to the acquisition of the minority interest in Alert,
which was offset by $15.4 million received on the disposal of certain
investments in and loans to associate.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $0.2 million was principally due
to net receipts of $8.9 million from short-term debt and $4.6 million of
proceeds from the issue of common shares, which was offset by repayments of
$15.0 million of long-term debt.

A market purchase program in respect of up to 5 million common shares was
approved by the board of directors on May 6, 1996, to be carried out at
prevailing market prices from time to time, depending on market conditions and
other considerations.

The Company believes that the working capital at March 31, 1996, its available
credit facilities and the current cash flows from operations are adequate for
the Company's normal growth and operating needs, the funding of its capital
expenditures budget, the funding of the purchase program referred to above, and
the current servicing of its debt requirements.
