I. INTRODUCTION
On July 1, 1999, Novametrix Medical Systems Inc. ("the Company") announced
that it had restated its quarterly results for the first three quarters of
fiscal 1999. The restatement was due principally to modifications to the
accounting treatment for sales financing arrangements which the Company entered
into with customers during the first three quarters of fiscal 1999 and the
reversal of certain dealer sales where products were ultimately returned to the
Company due to cancellation of dealer orders by end users.
Financial statement information and related disclosures included in this
amended filing reflect, where appropriate, changes as a result of the
restatements.
All other information is presented as of the original filing date and has
not been updated in this amended filing.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
JANUARY 31, 1999
NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements of Novametrix Medical Systems Inc. (the
"Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine
months ended January 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ending May 2, 1999. For further information, refer
to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 3, 1998.
On July 1, 1999, the Company announced that it had restated its quarterly
earnings for the first three quarters of fiscal 1999 to adjust recognition of
revenue and related costs and expenses in those periods. The restatement was
principally due to modifications to the accounting treatment for sales financing
arrangements which the Company entered into with customers during the first
three quarters of fiscal 1999 and the reversal of certain dealer sales where
products were ultimately returned to the Company due to cancellation of dealer
orders by end users. The restatement resulted in a decrease in revenues from
approximately $8,408,000, as previously reported, to approximately $8,088,000
for the three months ended January 31, 1999. Net income decreased from
approximately $337,000 or $0.04 per diluted share, as previously reported, to
approximately $29,000 or $0.00 per diluted share for the same period. For the
nine months ended January 31, 1999, revenues decreased from approximately
$24,686,000, as previously reported, to approximately $23,250,000. Net income
for the same period decreased from approximately $1,693,000 or $0.19 per
diluted share, as previously reported, to approximately $1,124,000 or $0.13
per diluted share.
NOTE 2 -- PER SHARE AMOUNTS: The calculation of basic earnings per share
excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities.
The calculation of diluted earnings per share excludes anti-dilutive options and
warrants whose exercise price exceeds the average market price.
The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted
earnings per share for the quarter and nine months ended January 31, 1999 and
February 1, 1998:

NOTE 3 - NET INVESTMENT IN SALES-TYPE LEASE: During the first quarter of fiscal
1999, the Company entered into a sales-type lease with a customer which will
result in payments over a multi-year period. The lease is for a term of five
years and provides for the transfer of title to the lessee at the end of the
lease term. The Company's net investment in this lease at January 31, 1999
consists of:
Minimum lease payments receivable $ 1,162,620
Less unearned income (28,130)
------------
Net investment in sales-type lease $ 934,490
============
Page 10 of 24

NOTE 4 - NOTES RECEIVABLE: During the third quarter ended January 31, 1999, the
Company exchanged equipment for long-term non-interest bearing notes receivable,
generally payable over a period of eight years. Interest has been imputed on the
notes based upon the Company's estimated incremental borrowing rate.
Face amount of the notes $ 1,572,257
Less unearned income (307,217)
------------
$ 1,265,040
============
The Company has also recorded other interest bearing notes totaling $87,187
as of January 31, 1999.
During the third quarter ended January 31, 1999, the Company made loans in
the aggregate amount of $148,100 under the Novametrix Medical Systems Inc.
Director and Senior Officer Stock Retention Plan. The loans bear interest at a
fixed rate equal to the Applicable Federal Rate under Section 1274(d) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The loans provide for payments of
interest on a quarterly basis, in arrears, until the third anniversary of the
loans at which time the principal is payable.
NOTE 5 - DEBT: The Company maintains a revolving credit agreement with its
lender which provides for borrowing to a maximum of $5,000,000, expires August
31, 2000, and bears interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus
.98% (totaling 5.94% at February 26, 1999). During the third quarter ended
January 31, 1999, the Company entered into a five-year $3,000,000 term loan with
its lender. The term loan is payable in monthly installments of $50,000 plus
interest at 6.77% under an interest rate swap agreement with its lender. The
Company utilizes the interest rate swap to manage its interest rate risk on its
variable rate term loan. Under the agreement, the Company is required to make
fixed rate payments and in return receives payments from its lender at variable
rates. The risk of loss to the Company in the event of non-performance by its
lender, a major financial institution, is not significant. The Company is
required under both loan agreements to maintain certain financial ratios,
minimum working capital and net worth, has pledged its assets as collateral, and
is limited among other things, on the purchase of its capital stock and new
borrowings.
NOTE 6 - CAPITAL STOCK: As of January 31, 1999, the Company had purchased
842,803 shares of its common stock at a cost of $4,141,189 under the previously
approved repurchase plans. There are 349,995 remaining shares authorized for
purchase under the repurchase program.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
On July 1, 1999, the Company announced that it had restated its quarterly
earnings for the first three quarters of fiscal 1999 to adjust recognition of
revenue and related costs and expenses in those periods. The restatement was due
principally to modifications to the accounting treatment for sales financing
arrangements which the Company entered into with customers during the first
three quarters of fiscal 1999 and the reversal of certain dealer sales where
products were ultimately returned to the Company due to cancellation of dealer
orders by end users. The restatement resulted in a decrease in revenues from
approximately $8,606,000, as previously reported, to approximately $8,088,000
for the three months ended January 31, 1999 and from approximately $24,686,000,
as previously reported, to approximately $23,250,000 for the first nine months
of fiscal 1999. Net income for the three months ended November 1, 1998
decreased from approximately $337,000 or $0.04 per diluted share, as previously
reported, to approximately $29,000 or $0.00 per diluted share for the same
period as compared to net income of approximately $535,000 or $0.06 per
diluted share for the third quarter of the prior fiscal year ended February 1,
1998. Net income for the first nine months of fiscal 1999 decreased from
approximately $1,693,000 or $0.19 per diluted share, as previously reported, to
approximately $1,124,000 or $0.13 per diluted share as compared to net income
of approximately $1,686,000 or $0.18 per diluted share for the first nine
months of fiscal 1998.
Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 increased 10% to
approximately $8,088,000 compared to net sales of approximately $7,378,000 for
the third quarter of fiscal 1998. The increase was led by continued strong
growth in domestic sales which was partially offset by a decline in
international shipments. Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1999
increased 4% to approximately $23,250,000 compared to net sales of approximately
$22,251,000 for the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The
improvement in sales was led by strong growth in domestic sales, partially
offset by decreases in international shipments and OEM sales.
Cost of products sold as a percentage of net sales was 45% for both the
third quarter of fiscal 1999 and fiscal 1998. Cost of products sold was 42% of
net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1999 compared to 44% for the first
nine months of fiscal 1998. The improvement in cost of products sold for the
nine months ended January 31, 1999 was primarily related to increased domestic
sales as a percentage of total sales and product mix. The Company is continuing
to pursue product cost reductions.
Research and product development ("R&D") expenses increased by
approximately $174,000 for the quarter ended January 31, 1999 compared to the
quarter ended February 1, 1998. Higher levels of salaries and related fringe
benefits from increased personnel and additional engineering materials were
primarily responsible for the increase. R&D expenses for the nine months ended
January 31, 1999
Page 12 of 24
13
increased approximately $441,000 compared to the first nine months of the prior
fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to higher levels of salaries and
related fringe benefits from increased personnel, outside professional services
and depreciation expense related to the Company's new non-invasive cardiac
output monitor and disposable rebreathing circuit.
Selling, general and administrative ("S,G&A") expenses increased
approximately $810,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to the
third quarter of fiscal 1998. Increased sales and marketing expenses including
higher levels of salaries and related fringe benefits on increased personnel,
increased dealer and employee sales commissions on the expanded domestic sales
volume, and increased outside professional services, accounted for the majority
of the increase in S,G&A expense. G&A expenses also increased for the third
quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to the third quarter of the prior fiscal year
primarily as a result of increased salaries and related fringe benefits and
outside professional services. S,G&A expenses increased approximately $1,324,000
for the first nine months of fiscal 1999 as compared to the first nine months of
the prior fiscal year. Increased sales and marketing expenses were primarily
responsible for the overall increase in S,G&A expenses including dealer and
employee sales commissions on the expanded domestic sales efforts, salaries and
related fringe benefits on increased personnel, and outside professional
services. Increased G&A expenses including salaries and related fringe benefits
and increased outside professional services also contributed to the increase in
S,G&A expenses.
Interest expense increased approximately $92,000 for the quarter ended
January 31, 1999 compared to the corresponding quarter of the prior fiscal year.
Interest expense increased approximately $13,000 for the nine months ended
January 31, 1999 compared to the corresponding nine months of the prior fiscal
year. The increase in the Company's borrowings for both comparisons was
primarily associated with the Company's common stock repurchase program and
certain customer sales financing agreements.
Income tax expense for the first nine months of both fiscal 1999 and 1998
was based upon the estimated effective tax rate of 28%. Due to net operating
loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes, the Company expects income
taxes payable, calculated on an alternative minimum tax basis, to be minimal for
fiscal 1999.
Except for orders pursuant to long-term OEM agreements, the Company
traditionally ships its products on a current basis. As such, the Company does
not consider its backlog levels to be a meaningful indicator of future sales.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company had working capital of approximately $15,033,000 at January 31,
1999 compared to approximately $18,603,000 at May 3, 1998. The decrease in
working capital of approximately $3,570,000 was primarily attributable to an
increase in bank debt resulting from the Company's repurchase of its common
stock for $4,141,189. This resulted in a current ratio of 2.9 to 1 at January
31, 1999 compared to 5.8 to 1 at May 3, 1998.
Page 13 of 24
14
Approximately $1,552,000 of cash was used by operations for the nine months
ended January 31, 1999 compared to approximately $1,327,000 of cash provided by
operations for the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The reduction
in cash provided from operations of approximately $2,879,000 compared to the
first nine months of fiscal 1998 was primarily attributable to a significant
sales financing agreement entered into during the first quarter, increases in
accounts and notes receivable, prepaid expenses and inventory, and a reduction
in net income which was partially offset by increases in accounts payable and
accrued expenses.
During the first nine months of fiscal 1999, the Company invested
approximately $1,544,000 in capital expenditures compared to approximately
$647,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 1998. The Company expects that
capital expenditures will continue to exceed its normal requirements for the
balance of fiscal 1999 primarily due to costs pertaining to tooling and
production equipment associated with the Company's new products.
Approximately $2,253,000 of funds were provided from financing activities
during the first nine months of fiscal 1999. As of January 31, 1999, the Company
had $6,267,000 of bank debt outstanding including $3,267,000 outstanding against
its revolving credit agreement and a $3,000,000 term loan which was consummated
during December 1998. The bank debt was used primarily to repurchase 842,803
shares of the Company's common stock at a cost of $4,141,189 and to support
certain sales financing agreements which call for payments by the Company's
customers over a multi-year period. There were 349,995 remaining shares
authorized for purchase under the stock repurchase plan as of January 31, 1999.
The Company expects cash from operations and funds available under the
Company's revolving credit agreement to adequately support its planned operating
requirements for the balance of fiscal 1999. In addition, management believes
that additional funds, if needed, could be obtained on commercially reasonable
terms.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
The Company has addressed the Year 2000 compliance issue with regard to the
potential impact on its business, results of operations and financial condition.
The Company conducted a thorough review of its installed base of monitoring
equipment and has determined that its products are Year 2000 compliant. The
results of the Company's examination have been posted on its website for its
customers to review. During 1998, the Company completed the installation of a
new fully-integrated operating system which is Year 2000 compliant. Other less
significant office technology is scheduled to be upgraded by mid-1999, the costs
of which are expected to be less than $50,000. Further, the Company does not
believe that it will be significantly impacted by the inability of third parties
used by the Company to provide products and services. While the Company cannot
be certain that all third parties will meet the Year 2000 requirements, the
estimated cost or disruption of services is not expected to be material to the
Company's financial position or results of operations.
