Safety 1st Inc. announces third quarter, nine
        month results

        
            CHESTNUT HILL, Mass--Oct.  25, 1995--Safety
        1st, Inc.  (Nasdaq:SAFT) today announced that net sales for the
        third quarter ended September 30, 1995 increased 55.2% to $26.7
        million from $17.2 million in the same period last year.  Net income
        was $1.8 million for the three month period, a 5.8% increase over
        net income of $1.7 million a year ago.  Net income per share was
        $0.26 compared with net income per share of $0.25 in the fiscal 1994
        quarter.  
        


            For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, net sales
        increased 50.1% to $80.9 million from $53.9 million for the first
        nine months of the prior year.  Net income increased 2.1% to $5.7
        million for the nine months of fiscal 1995 compared to net income of
        $5.6 million last year.  Net income per share was $0.80 for the nine
        month period, a 1.2% decrease over net of $0.81 for the same period
        last year.  The decrease in net income per share reflects a 3%
        increase in the weighted average number of shares outstanding to
        7,127,000 from 6,918,000.  
        


            As previously announced, the Company recorded a non-recurring
        pretax charge of $285,000 in the third quarter ending September 30,
        1995.  The charge reflects a write-down of receivables due to the
        Company from The Caldor
Corporation
, which recently filed for
        bankruptcy under Chapter 11.  The charge reduced net income by
        approximately $0.02 per share in the 1995 third quarter.  
        


            Michael Lerner, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer,
        commented, "During the third quarter we announced some significant
        events that will play an important role in our continued growth
        going forward, including the introduction of 60 new home security
        products at the National Hardware Show.  The acquisitions of EEZI,
        Ltd.  and Orleans Juvenile Products will position Safety 1st as a
        major competitor within two key international markets where we will
        realize significant operating efficiencies and greater marketing and
        distribution opportunities."  
        


            Safety 1st is a leading developer, marketer and distributor of
        child care products, including feeding, teething, health-hygiene and
        convenience items.  The Company currently distributes over 300
        products to more than 3,700 retailers.

        DOW CORNING ANNOUNCES THIRD-QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

        
            MIDLAND, Mich., Oct. 25, 1995--Dow
Corning Corp.
today
        reported global sales of $624.3 million for the third quarter of
        1995, up 11.5 percent from $559.7 million reported for the same
        quarter in 1994.
        


            Profit after tax (PAT) for the third quarter of 1995 is $47.3
        million, up 36.3 percent from $34.7 million recorded for third
        quarter 1994.
        


            Year-to-date sales are $1.88 billion, a 16 percent increase over
        $1.62 billion reported for the first nine months of 1994.  The
        company, however, reported a year-to-date net loss of $70.2 million,
        due to the special after-tax charge of $221.2 million taken at the
        end of the second quarter to reflect a change in the company's
        accounting method for its liability in a breast implant global
        settlement.
        


            Without this charge and other accounting changes related to
        Chapter 11, Dow Corning's adjusted year-to-date PAT is $141.6
        million, up 26.0 percent over $112.4 million reported for the first
        nine months of 1994.
        


            "Employees worldwide are commended for their ability to stay
        focused on growth, customer service, and spending control in the
        wake of Chapter 11," said John W. Churchfield, vice president for
        planning and finance and chief financial officer.  "We are also
        thankful for the continued loyalty of customers and suppliers since
        the Chapter 11 filing.  We remain absolutely dedicated to continue
        earning their support."
        


            "Third-quarter growth was good, despite slowing economic growth
        in the U.S. and Europe and a continuing weak economy in Japan,"
        Churchfield continued.  "Strong growth in the rest of Asia, and a
        good balance of firmer selling prices and expense control worldwide,
        continue to favorably impact our performance."
        


            Churchfield said that profit margins have also been favorably
        impacted by lower interest expenses - due to Chapter 11 suspension
        of interest payments, and by higher interest income - due to high
        cash balances partly attributed to insurance settlements.
        


            Quarterly financial statements are available upon request after
        November 7 by calling Dow Corning at 517-496-5436.
        


            Dow Corning Corp., a global leader in silicon-based materials,
        is a Michigan corporation with shares equally owned by The Dow
        Chemical Co. (NYSE: DOW) and Corning Inc. (NYSE: GLW).  More than
        half of Dow Corning's sales are outside the U.S.

MAI Systems Reports $2.4 Million Quarterly
        Profit

        
            IRVINE, Calif.--Oct. 25, 1995--MAI
Systems
        Corporation
(AMEX: NOW) today announced that it earned net
income of
        $2.4 million on revenues of $16.5 million for the quarter ending
        September 30, 1995.  
        


            The company earned $8.0 million on revenues of $49.3 million for
        the first nine months of 1995.  Revenues and earnings for the
        comparable periods of 1994 (after adjustment for disposed or closed
        operations) were $14.2 million and a loss of $1.2 million for the
        third quarter and $44.4 million and $203,000 for the first nine
        months, respectively.  
        


            Earlier this year, the company sold its Asian and Costa Rican
        subsidiaries and discontinued the direct sales of its process
        manufacturing solutions business in favor of an exclusive worldwide
        distributor.  Those operations contributed revenues of $1.6 million
        and $5.4 million during the third quarter and first nine months,
        respectively, of 1994.  
        


            Earnings per share were $0.29 and $0.97 per share for the third
        quarter and year to date, respectively, compared to a loss of $0.17
        per share during the comparable quarter of 1994 and earnings of $.03
        for the first nine months of the prior year (earnings per share have
        been adjusted to give effect to the company's August 1995 stock
        split effected by means of a 25% stock dividend).  
        


            MAI's third quarter revenue growth, exclusive of disposed or
        closed operations, was positively impacted by strong sales into the
        gaming industry and by improved computer products sales.  Operating
        income was adversely impacted by other operating expense, which in
        the third quarter was comprised of expenses and benefits associated
        with litigation which the company has pursued against alleged
        infringers of its copyrights, and a reserve for a contingent
        incentive payment pursuant to a previously disclosed consulting
        agreement which the company entered into in 1994.  
        


            The company also benefited from a $1.6 million reorganization
        gain resulting from the settlement of certain other tax matters
        relating to the company's 1994 bankruptcy reorganization.  These
        gains have been classified as an extraordinary item.  
        


            The company recently announced that it had entered into
        agreement with Remanco International, a leading provider of point-of-
        sale hardware and software products, to act as the exclusive
        nationwide provider of maintenance services for its products.  In
        August, the company became listed on the American Stock Exchange.  
        


            MAI installs and supports total information systems solutions,
        primarily in the gaming and hospitality industries.  In addition,
        the company designs, sells and supports a wide variety of computer
        products including (i) local and wide area computer networks, (ii)
        document imaging systems, (iii) computer products for legacy systems
        which upgrade, enhance and integrate legacy systems with currently
        available computer technologies, and (iv) vertical and horizontal
        software applications including OpenBASIC, MANBASE,
        FDM(4)/FlexPOINT, ASG, Medical Management, BFMS and TriBASE.

        GFI ANNOUNCES PURCHASE OF STATORDYNE
        


            LOS ANGELES, Oct. 25, 1995--GFI Energy
Ventures LLC
        (GFI), a Los Angeles investment firm recently formed by several
        investor companies to capitalize on emerging opportunities in the
        energy utility industry, made its first purchase Oct. 2.  GFI bought
        the assets of Anaheim, CA-based href="chap11.statordyne.html">Statordyne Corporation, a
        manufacturer and marketer of patented power protection systems that
        had been in Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization since Aug. 23.
        


            Ian Schapiro, GFI chief financial officer, said, "In any
        acquisition of a company there is risk.  However, we think the
        uniqueness of the patented Statordyne power protection system
        concept is obviously worth the risk.  In our due diligence phase, we
        were most impressed by the obvious enthusiasm Statordyne's customers
        expressed regarding the company's products.  Statordyne's products
        serve a market we feel is growing rapidly."  Statordyne has large
        power protection systems installed in critical telecommunications,
        manufacturing and data processing applications.  "What's more,"
        Schapiro added, "utilities themselves have become re-marketers of
        the Statordyne system as part of their power quality and demand side
        management programs designed to serve their most demanding
        customers."  These programs and the equipment upon which they are
        based help utility customers manage and solve power problems.

        
            GFI's focus is on acquiring businesses which are positioned to
        benefit from the dramatic acceleration of competition deregulation
        and technological innovation the industry is experiencing.  "Our
        goal," said Schapiro, "is to help companies grow through our
        industry contacts and market knowledge as well as by creating
        synergies among the companies in which we invest."
   

     
            Schapiro and his two associates in GFI Partners LLC, one of the
        GFI investor companies, founded and were formerly partners in one of
        the country's leading utility consulting firms called Venture
        Associates. One of those associates and now president of GFI,
        Lawrence Gilson, said, "The only bet we and others are making is on
        the pace at which the electricity market becomes more competitive,
        not the direction of change.  We think the bulk of new players and a
        lot of the traditional players are going to the upstream area - the
        generation end of the business.  However, we think there are
        tremendous opportunities at the customer service and distribution
        end.  And that's where Statordyne offers an excellent fit with our
        strategy."
      

  
            In addition to Schapiro and Gilson, former Venture Associates
        partner Richard Landers is the third partner in GFI Partners LLC.
        The three are longtime utility consultants in the United States and
        Europe. After selling Venture Associates to Arthur Andersen & Co.,
        they continued to run the business for Andersen prior to forming GFI
        Partners LLC.
        


            Additional equity partners that make up GFI include Allen-GFI,
        Inc. (an affiliate of Allen & Company Incorporated, the New York
        investment banking firm), Rothschilds Investment Trust Capital
        Partners plc (the publicly-traded, London-based investment company
        chaired by Lord Rothschild), and Durham Enterprises Ltd. (an
        investment company associated with international investor Tony
        Bloom).

        JUDGE'S DECISION FAVORS ENTERGY IN PHASE ONE OF CAJUN ELECTRIC
        LAWSUIT

        
            BATON ROUGE, La., Oct. 25, 1995--U.S. District Judge
        Frank Polozola, on Tuesday, Oct. 24, issued a memorandum opinion
        ruling in favor of Gulf States Utilities (GSU) on href="chap11.cajun.html">Cajun Electric
        Power Cooperative
's fraud claims involving its decision to
invest in
        the River Bend nuclear plant in St. Francisville, La.  In his ruling
        Judge Polozola said that he would issue detailed reasons for his
        decision in a further written opinion to be filed at a later date.
        The court did not indicate when the formal written opinion would be
        filed.  The court also found that Cajun's claim had not been timely
        filed.
        


            Entergy Corporation (NYSE: ETR) Senior Vice President and
        General Counsel Michael G. Thompson characterized Judge Polozola's
        action as a significant victory for GSU, an Entergy subsidiary.  "We
        are very pleased with the court's decision," Thompson said, "and are
        gratified to have prevailed in this portion of the litigation."
        


            Thompson said Entergy's representatives, as the court and the
        Louisiana Public Service Commission (LPSC) have urged, will continue
        to discuss the possibility of settling the remaining issues in the
        litigation with all parties involved.  "A second phase of this
        lawsuit involves a breach of contract claim," he said.  "We are
        confident that GSU's position in this second phase is sound and that
        GSU acted properly."  Should settlement discussions prove
        unsuccessful, the second phase of the lawsuit may ultimately be
        tried, unless Cajun's trustee in bankruptcy decides to forego the
        claim.
        


            The case has been complicated by Cajun's decision to file
        bankruptcy.  The electric cooperative made its Chapter 11 filing on
        Dec. 21, 1994, after the LPSC ordered Cajun to lower its rates to a
        point where, according to Cajun's filing, the cooperative would be
        unable to meet its financial obligations on over $4 billion in loans
        from the Rural Utilities Service, formerly the Rural Electrification
        Administration.
        


            Judge Polozola retains jurisdiction over the bankruptcy case
        where he will decide major River Bend issues while maintaining
        overall supervision of the case.  Bankruptcy Judge Gerald Schiff,
        meanwhile, will handle normal bankruptcy issues arising in the case.
        


            The $4.6 billion River Bend nuclear power plant began commercial
        operation in June of 1986.  GSU owns 70 percent of the facility
        while Cajun Electric owns the remaining 30 percent.
