in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period
presentation.

2.     DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

       The Company, through its primary operating subsidiary, Encore
Orthopedics, Inc. ("Encore"), designs, manufactures, markets and sells products

3.     OTHER CHARGES

       The components of other charges included in the consolidated statements
of operations for the three and six months ended June 29, 2001 are as follows
(in thousands):

                                                                            ======


       In June 2001, Encore recorded compensation expense of $917 related to the
cancellation of certain outstanding options to purchase common stock in exchange
for common shares of the Company.  In June 2001, a former employee exercised
options by selling some of the shares acquired by this exercise back to the
Company in sufficient quantity to cover the exercise price and related tax
liability.  This cashless exercise of options generated compensation expense of
$171.  Finally, in June 2001, the Company reached a settlement with Medica
Holding AG ("Medica") related to a complaint filed by Medica associated with the
sale of Series A Preferred Stock.  The Company incurred two charges in
connection with the settlement.  The first charge of $125 relates to court
ordered reimbursement of the plaintiff's legal expenses which resulted in the
filing of a supplement to the original proxy statement.  The second charge of
$410 represents a non-cash benefit provided to the Company by the primary Series
A Preferred Stock stockholders which arose as a result of its purchase of
Medica's outstanding stock in the Company.  Of the total charges of $1,623, only
$479 represented a cash outlay by the Company.

5.   SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK

     On June 12, 2001, the stockholders of the Company approved the issuance of
132,353 shares of Series A Preferred Stock at $102.00 per share for an aggregate
purchase price of $13.5 million.  The 132,353 shares of Series A Preferred Stock
are immediately convertible into 13,253,300 shares of the Company's common
stock.  The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have the right to designate
up to two individuals to serve on the Company's Board of Directors.  Each share
of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled, for all matters except the election of
directors, to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which such share of
Series A Preferred Stock is then convertible.  Shares of Series A Preferred
Stock bear non-cumulative dividends at a rate of 8% per annum if declared by the
Company.  The holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to certain other
rights that are more expansive than the rights of the holders of common stock
which are detailed in the Amended and Restated Series A Preferred Stock Purchase
Agreement dated as of May 3, 2001.  Issuance costs associated with the sale of
Series A Stock amounted to $643,000.  Certain terms of the Series A Preferred
Stock, including redemption in the event of a change in control, result in the
Series A Preferred Stock being treated as redeemable for financial accounting
purposes.

     Options and warrants to purchase 1,552,293 and 3,536,700 shares of common
stock, respectively, were outstanding at June 29, 2001, but were not included in

would be anti-dilutive.

7.   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

     In June 2001, The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," (SFAS No. 142) which changes how
goodwill and other intangible assets are accounted for subsequent to their
initial recognition.  Under this standard, goodwill and other intangible assets
having identifiable useful lives are no longer amortized, but are subjected to
periodic assessments of impairment.  SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001. We are currently in the process of evaluating
SFAS No. 142 and the effect it may have on our financial statements.  As of this
date, we have not determined whether SFAS No. 142 will have a material impact on
our financial statements or results of operations.  In the event that SFAS No.
142 is determined to have a material impact on our financial statements or
results of operations, we would be required to report such changes no later than
the quarter ending March 31, 2002.

8.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     On July 2, 2001, the Company acquired Kimberly-Clark Corporation's line of
orthopedic soft goods, patient safety devices and pressure care products (the
"OSG Products") pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated July 2,
2001.  The Company acquired fixed assets, inventory, customer lists,
transferable licenses and intellectual property related to the production of the
OSG Products for a total purchase price of $8,835,206, consisting of $5,700,000
in cash and a promissory note in the amount of $3,135,206 bearing interest at 8%
per annum and payable over 24 months.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 29, 2001, AS COMPARED TO
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000.

Sales were $8,411,000 for the quarter ended June 29, 2001, representing an
increase of $1,217,000 or 17% over the quarter ended June 30, 2000.  U.S. sales
achieved a record level for any one quarter at $6,432,000, increasing $1,753,000
or 37% compared to the same period in 2000.  This was the result of Encore's
efforts over the past six months to strengthen and build the U.S. sales force.
On the other hand, sales outside the U.S. declined $536,000 or 21%, offsetting
some of the increase in U.S. sales.  The decline in sales outside the U.S. can
be primarily attributed to Encore's previously announced strategy to focus sales
efforts in the U.S. which is a more profitable geographic area and to the
absence of any major stocking orders in the second quarter of 2001.

Gross margin increased by $694,000 from the second quarter of 2000.  However,
gross margin as a percent of sales declined from 66% during the second quarter
of 2000 to 65% during the second quarter of 2001 primarily due to increases in
production variances.

Research and development expenses decreased $47,000 or 10% from the second
quarter of 2000 due primarily to the approval of products in late 2000 and early
2001, such as the Keystone(TM) Modular Hip System and the Metal/Metal Acetabular
Hip System, that were in clinical studies in 2000.  Notwithstanding this
decrease in expenditures, there are several new products in the development
process.  In addition, clinical studies are continuing on a mobile bearing knee
product and a ceramic femoral knee component.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $402,000 or 11% compared
to the second quarter of 2000 due mainly to higher commissions and royalties as
a result of increased sales.   However, as a percent of sales, selling, general
and administrative expenses decreased to 49% for the quarter from 52% in the
second quarter of 2000.

An additional charge of $1,623,000 was taken in the second quarter of 2001 which
related to specific one-time items that are not part of the normal selling,
general and administrative, or research and development expenses.  The most
significant was a charge of $917,000 related to an exchange of certain
outstanding options for stock.  Approximately 1.9 million options were cancelled
and approximately 600,000 shares were issued to the senior management of the
Company.  The cash impact of this transaction was only $354,000.  Another
component of this charge includes $535,000 in legal settlement charges.  This
was related to the settlement of the lawsuit brought by one of the Company's
stockholders in an attempt to stop the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock.
Only $125,000 of this

                                       7


expense was a cash expense. Finally, there was a $171,000 charge for
compensation expense associated with a cashless exercise of options by a former
employee.

As a result of these other charges, an operating loss of $718,000 was incurred
in the second quarter 2001 compared to operating income of $566,000 for the
second quarter of 2000.  Operating income before these non-recurring
transactions was $905,000, an increase of 60% over the same period in 2000.
Without these non-recurring charges, operating income increased to 10.7% of
sales during the second quarter of 2001, compared to 7.9% for the second quarter
of 2000.

Interest expense decreased $24,000 for the three months ended June 29, 2001, to
$301,000 as compared to $325,000 during the same period in the prior year.

Overall, net loss for the quarter ended June 29, 2001 was $607,000 as compared
to net income of $217,000 during the second quarter of 2000.  However, if you
removed the effect of the other charges discussed above, the Company's results
for the second quarter of 2000 would show a net income of  $432,000.  This is a
99% increase over the same period in 2000.

In connection with the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock in June 2001,
because the stock is immediately convertible into common stock of Encore at the
holder's option at a conversion price of $1.02 per share, which was below the
per share closing price of our common stock on the date of the issuance of the
Series A Preferred Stock, Encore recorded a charge to net income available to
common stockholders of $3,706,000 representing the fair value of the beneficial
conversion feature of the Series A Preferred Stock.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 29, 2001, AS COMPARED TO THE
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000.

Sales increased 9% over the first six months of 2000 to $17,130,000 from
$15,695,000. U.S. sales were $12,656,000, increasing $2,879,000 or 29% compared
to the same period in 2000.  This was the result of efforts to strengthen and
build the U.S. sales force.  Sales outside the U.S. declined $1,444,000 or 24%
offsetting some of the increase in the U.S.  The decline can be attributed to
previously announced strategies to focus sales efforts in the U.S.

Gross margin increased by $676,000 from the same six months of 2000.  However,
gross margin as a percent of sales declined from 65.6% in 2000 to 64.0% during
2001 primarily due to increases in production variances.

Research and development expenses decreased by $108,000 or 11.7% from the first
six months of 2000 due primarily to the approval of products in late 2000 and
early 2001, such as the Keystone(TM) Modular Hip System and the Metal/Metal
Acetabular Hip System, that were in clinical studies in 2000.  Clinical studies
are continuing on a mobile bearing knee product and a ceramic femoral knee
component.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $718,000 or 9% compared
to the same period in 2000 due to increased commissions, royalties and doubtful
account reserves as a result of increased sales and relocation expenses.
However, as a percent of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses
remained at 50% of sales.

An additional charge of $1,623,000 was taken in the second quarter of 2001 which
related to specific one-time items that are not part of the normal selling,
general and administrative, or research and development expenses.  The most
significant was a charge of $917,000 related to an exchange of certain
outstanding options for stock.  Approximately 1.9 million options were cancelled
and approximately 600,000 shares were issued to the senior management of the
Company.  The cash impact of this transaction was only $354,000.  Another
component of this charge includes $535,000 in legal settlement charges.  This
was related to the settlement of the lawsuit brought by one of the Company's
stockholders in an attempt to stop the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock.
Only $125,000 of this expense was a cash expense.  Finally, there was a $171,000
charge for compensation expense associated with a cashless exercise of options
by a former employee.

As a result of these charges, an operating loss of $75,000 was incurred for the
first six months of 2001, as compared to operating income of $1,482,000 in 2000
as the increase in sales was offset by the additional spending discussed above.
Operating income before the additional charge was $1,548,000, a 4% increase over
the same period in 2000.

                                       8


Interest expense increased $50,000 for the six months of 2001 to $663,000 as
compared to the same period in the prior year.

Overall, net loss for the six months ended June 29, 2001 was $379,000 as
compared to net income of $674,000 for the same six months in 2000.  Removing
the effect of the other charges discussed above results in net income of
$660,000.

In connection with the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock in June 2001,
because the stock is immediately convertible into common stock of Encore at the
holder's option at a conversion price of $1.02 per share, which was below the
per share closing price of our common stock on the date of the issuance of the
Series A Preferred Stock, Encore recorded a charge to net income available to
common stockholders of $3,706,000 representing the fair value of the beneficial
conversion feature of the Series A Preferred Stock.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Since inception, the Company has financed its operations through the sale of
equity securities, borrowings and cash flow from operations.  The Company has
available to it a $12.5 million revolving credit facility (the "Credit
Facility").  This facility will decrease during the year on a quarterly basis to
$10.5 million.  In addition, it has a number of financial covenants that must be
met on a quarterly basis.  As of June 29, 2001, the Company had drawn
approximately $11 million.  As of June 29, 2001, the Company was in compliance
with all of the financial covenants.  While the Company's current forecast shows
that the Company will be able to meet the financial covenants during 2001 and
will be able to keep the need for outstanding debt under the maximum ceilings
for amounts outstanding, there is no assurance that the forecasts will prove
accurate or that the bank's requirements will be able to be met.  In addition,
there is no assurance that another credit facility will be available as a
replacement to the current facility, which is scheduled to mature in October of
2002.  There exists the possibility that the Company will need to obtain
additional equity financing, although there is no assurance as to the amount,
availability or cost of such financing.

During the second quarter ended June 29, 2001, operating activities provided
cash and cash equivalents of $3 million primarily due to a decrease in
inventory, an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and net
income adjusted for depreciation and amortization. This compares favorably to
the second quarter ended June 30, 2001 when operating activities used cash and
cash equivalents of $1.1 million.

During June 2001, the Company raised $12.9 million, net of issuance costs of
$643,000, in connection with the sale of Series A Preferred Stock.  The purpose
of raising this money is to fund the acquisitions that the Company has
previously announced that it is pursuing.  The first of these acquisitions was
completed on July 2, 2001, with the purchase of the orthopedic soft goods,
patient safety devices and pressure care product lines from Kimberly-Clark
Corporation.

The Company's continued growth has resulted in an increase in its capital
requirements.  This growth is primarily funded by the Credit Facility and cash
generated from operations to meet its working capital needs.  As of June 29,
2001, the Company had net working capital of approximately $34 million, an
increase from the $21 million net working capital at December 31, 2000.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The foregoing Management's Discussion and Analysis contains various "forward
looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of
1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which represent
Encore's expectations or beliefs concerning future events, including, but not
limited to, statements regarding growth in sales of Encore's products, profit
margins and the sufficiency of Encore's cash flow for its future liquidity and
capital resource needs.  These forward looking statements are further qualified
by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those in the forward looking statements.  These factors include, without
limitation, the effect of competitive pricing, Encore's dependence on the
ability of its third-party manufacturers to produce components on a basis which
is cost-effective to Encore, market acceptance of Encore's products, the ability
to attract and retain competent employees, technological obsolescence of one or
more products, changes in product strategies, the availability to locate
acceptable acquisition candidates and then finance and integrate those
acquisitions, and effects of government regulation. Results actually achieved
may differ materially from expected results included in these statements as a
result of these or other factors.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On May 1, 2001, one of the Company's stockholders, Medica Holding AG ("Medica")
filed a complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, against the
Company, its directors, and the principal investors in the Series A Preferred
Stock, seeking to enjoin the consummation of the sale of the Series A Preferred
Stock alleging, among other things, (a) that the individual defendants breached
their fiduciary duties by failing to consider alternative transactions or
proposals for obtaining capital for the Company and by not seeking the advice of
a financial advisor before entering in the Series A Stock Purchase Agreement,
and (b) that the principal investors aided and abetted the individual defendants
in the breach of their fiduciary duties.  The lawsuit was settled prior to the
June 12, 2001 Annual Meeting.  The terms of the settlement required that (a) the
Company agree to pay court-ordered attorneys fees to the plaintiff in connection
with the requirement that the original proxy be amended to provide supplemental
disclosures, and (b) that the principal investors in the Series A Preferred
Stock purchase the shares of common stock in the Company that Medica owned.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On June 12, 2001, the stockholders of the Company approved the issuance of
132,353 shares of Series A Preferred Stock at $102.00 per share for an aggregate
purchase price of $13.5 million.  The shares were issued on June 12, 2001.  The
purchase price was payable in cash.  There was no underwriter involved with the
issuance.  The parties who purchased the Series A Preferred Stock were primarily
comprised of partnerships controlled by Galen Partners and by Ivy Orthopedics
Partners LLC.  A complete list of the purchasers can be found in the Proxy dated
May 4, 2001 that was distributed to all stockholders of the Company. The 132,353
shares of Series A Preferred Stock are immediately convertible into 13,253,300
shares of the Company's common stock. The sale of these securities was exempt
from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Regulation D.
