          Item 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

          
                    On January 11, 1996, American Electromedics Corp.
          ("AECO") purchased from Andy Rosch a fifty percent interest in
          Rosch GmbH Medizintechnik ("Rosch GmbH"), paying $500,000 and
          issuing 500,000 shares of AECO Common Stock, $.10 par value.  Mr.
          Rosch, who then owned 100% of Rosch GmbH, will continue as
          managing director of Rosch GmbH.  AECO and Rosch have entered
          into a Shareholders Agreement that gives AECO a joint role in
          major corporate and management decisions on behalf of Rosch GmbH.

                    Rosch GmbH is a marketing and distribution company
          based in Berlin Germany specializing in the distribution of
          healthcare products, including AECO products, to primary care
          physicians throughout Europe.  In January 1996, Rosch GmbH sold
          its exclusive distributorship rights for a manufacturer's ear,
          nose and throat ("ENT") line of products in order to concentrate
          on AECO's products as well as other healthcare products.  The ENT
          products had accounted for a substantial amount of Rosch GmbH's
          revenues in 1995.

                    AECO has been manufacturing products under the Rosch
          GmbH label for distribution by Rosch GmbH since 1992.  AECO made
          the investment in Rosch GmbH in order to maintain and to expand
          the distribution of its existing product line throughout the
          European Community, and to seek opportunities which may arise out
          of the relationship with Rosch GmbH.
