FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Colorado Springs, Colorado, September 16, 1996.   BROWN DISC PRODUCTS
COMPANY, INC. (OTC Symbol "BDPC") today reported that its previously
announced Agreement and Plan of Reorganization for a proposed merger
with Kimbrough Computer Sales Inc., 3SI, Inc., otherwise known as
Solution, System and Service Integration ("3SI"), expired on September
15, 1996 without a closing of the proposed merger.

As previously indicated in filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the proposed merger of 3SI and the Company was subject to
completion or waiver of various conditions precedent including, among
others, additional common stock equity financing in an amount of
approximately $4.4 million, satisfactory completion of due diligence
investigation and completion of 3SI audited financial statements. 
Ronald H. Cole, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, stated  "These
conditions have not all been met and negotiations with prospective
investors to obtain $4.4 million in additional equity financing have
not been successful.  Discussions with 3SI late last week have led us
to conclude that it does not appear 3SI and the Company can agree to
terms that would permit the proposed merger to be restructured or for
the agreement to be extended on mutually acceptable terms."  Mr. Cole
further noted that with the expiration of the Reorganization
Agreement, the Company is required to surrender its interest in 3SI's
Diamond Shield system developed for Internet security solution so that
3SI may continue to pursue development of that project with financing
from other sources.

Mr. Cole indicated that "Although the Company is disappointed it
cannot complete the proposed 3SI merger, Brown Disc Products will
continue to pursue a business strategy of seeking the acquisition of
additional assets or business operations that enhance profitability
and will continue to focus on our electronic software distribution
strategy via the Internet and cable.  Brown Disc will target
acquisitions that compliment the electronic distribution strategy and
the company has cut operating costs to the point that the company will
be able to explore those opportunities."

Brown Disc Products Company is engaged in the businesses of marketing
magnetic data storage products for computers and the duplication and
packaging of software media for various software developers.
