          ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.


                    As of November 3, 1997, American Electromedics Corp.
          (the "Company") issued an aggregate of 720,000 shares of its
          Common Stock, $.10 par value, upon the conversion of $720,000
          principal amount of its 14% Convertible Subordinated Debentures
          due October 31, 1999 (the "Debentures").  This represented the
          entire issue of Debentures.  The Company had reduced the
          conversion price of the Debentures to $1.00 per share from $3.75
          per share in connection with October 1997 amendments to
          certain arrangements with its primary bank pursuant to a 
          Forbearance and Workout Agreement (see Exhibit 10.12 to the 
          Company's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1997) 
          and its efforts to obtain additional equity capital.

                    As of November 26, 1997, the Company closed a private
          placement of 1,030,000 shares of its Common Stock at a price of
          $1.00 per share, or an aggregate purchase price of $1,030,000 to
          a group of "accredited investors," as such term is defined in
          Regulation D under the the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
          pursuant to Stock Purchase Agreements between the Company and the
          purchasers.  The Company used $150,000 of the placement proceeds
          to repay portions of its bank indebtedness, and plans to use the
          balance of the proceeds for working capital, and for possible 
          acquisitions.

                    As of November 26, 1997, the number of outstanding
          shares of the Company's Common Stock was increased to 4,303,136
          shares.
