ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

Guardian International, Inc. (symbol GIIS) ("Guardian") announced on May 2, 1997
that it terminated its previously announced merger discussions with a privately
held Florida based security company. In February, Guardian entered into a
non-binding letter of intent which called for Guardian to issue 6.6 million
shares (or 48% on a fully diluted basis) of common stock in exchange for all of
the outstanding stock of the privately held company.

The closing of the agreement was subject to, among other things, due diligence
review and certain banking approvals. Either party had the ability to terminate
the letter of intent if it was not satisfied with the results of the due
diligence process.

Although the current letter of intent has been terminated, Guardian would
consider merging with the privately held company if different terms could be
negotiated.

Guardian provides alarm monitoring services as well as design, installation and
service of quality security and fire alarm systems throughout Florida. Guardian
expects to continue its monitoring account acquisition programs.

Guardian trades on the NASD Bulletin Board under the symbol "GIIS".
