Item 5. Other Events
 
    On December 18, 1995, Tridex Corporation (the "Company")
received notice of a decision rendered against the Company by the
Superior Court of Connecticut in litigation between the Company
and a former landlord, Tridex Corporation v. Gorham Island
Associates, Superior Court, Judicial District of
Stamford/Norwalk, CV 93 135246 (Dec. 12. 1995).  The Court
awarded damages of approximately $988,000, which includes back
rent charges, interest and attorney's fees.  As previously
disclosed, based on the advice of counsel in this matter, the
Company anticipated either a favorable outcome or modest damages,
if any.  The Company believes the case was not correctly decided
and intends to file an appeal.  The Company has not yet
determined the extent of the charge which will be required to be
recorded in the current quarter.  However, if the Company is
required to pay all or a substantial portion of the judgment, the
Company believes that payment will not materially affect the
Company's ability to finance its business operations.
 
Item 8. Change in Fiscal Year
 
    On December 8, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company
voted to change the Company's fiscal year.  The Company's new
fiscal year will end on December 31.  A report covering the nine
months ended December 31, 1995, will be filed on Form 10-K.
