The acquisition price has been assigned a value of $2,500,000 based upon a
preliminary estimate by Company management of the fair value of the
consideration given by the Company.  In consideration of the Immtech stock and
Note, the Company issued to the Sellers 333,154 shares of the Company's Common
Stock and Criticare Biomedical has issued a subordinated promissory note,
secured solely by the Immtech stock and note, in the principal amount of
$1,240,000.  The principal balance of the note is payable on the earlier of (a)
the seventh anniversary of the date of the note; (b) the closing date of an
initial public offering of the stock of Immtech or any sale of the Immtech
stock by Criticare Biomedical; or (c) the Company purchasing any additional
Immtech stock.  The note bears interest at 7% per annum.  No interest is
payable during the first 12 months of the note and thereafter interest is to be
paid quarterly in arrears.  In accordance with applicable accounting rules, the
purchase price was allocated to research and development and charged to expense
upon the consummation of the agreement.  The Company currently owns
approximately 35% of the outstanding common stock of Immtech on a fully diluted
and as converted basis.  The investment in Immtech is accounted for using the
equity method.

                            CRITICARE SYSTEMS, INC.
                    Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
                   Nine Months Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995

Results of Operations

Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 increased 10% to $23.4
million from $21.2 million for the same period in fiscal 1995.  Sales increased
in all three divisions.  The Domestic Hospital sales increase is due primarily
to improved Maestro ECG telemetry sales and the introduction of the "Scholar",
which represents the Company's next generation of monitoring products.  The
Alternate Care sales improvement is attributable to increased sales of
combination oximetry and blood pressure monitors.  The International sales
improvement is due to the introduction of the "Scholar" and "Scholar II" and
increased sales of the Model 1100 Vital Signs monitor.

The gross profit percentage decreased from 50% for the nine months ended March
31, 1995 to 49% for the nine months ended March 31, 1996.  The decrease in
gross profit can be attributed to continued price competition.

Operating expenses increased approximately $1,211,000, or 12%, for the nine
months ended March 31, 1996 when compared with the same period in fiscal 1995.
Marketing expenses increased approximately $700,000, or 10%, when compared to
the same period in fiscal 1995.  The increase in marketing expenses relates to
increased commissions resulting from the increased sales and additional
promotional expenses related to the new product introductions.  Research,
development and engineering expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 1996
increased approximately $449,000, or 33%, when compared to the same period in
fiscal 1995.  This increase relates to expenses incurred in connection with new
product development, primarily new vital signs monitors, telemetry projects and
digital oximetry designed for the changing health care environment.

Non-operating expenses were $2,772,037 and $187,424 for the nine months ended
March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The March 31, 1996 amount includes the
$2,500,000 write-off recorded upon the acquisition of additional stock in
Immtech.  The write-off relates to the allocation of the purchase price to
research and development which must be expensed.

The net loss of $2,528,083 for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 compares to
net income of $321,492 recorded for the nine months ended March 31, 1995.  The
change reflects the write-off related to the Immtech acquisition and the
increased operating expenses.

                    Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
                   Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995

Results of Operations

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1996 increased 7% to $7.7
million from $7.2 million for the same period in fiscal 1995.  The increased
sales is primarily attributable to the International division.  This increase
is due primarily to sales of "Scholar" and "Scholar II", products which were
introduced in the second quarter of fiscal 1996.

The gross profit percentage decreased from 51% for the quarter ended March 31,
1995 to 48% for the quarter ended March 31, 1996.  The decrease is due to
continued price competition.

Operating expenses increased approximately $385,000, or 11%, for the quarter
ended March 31, 1996 when compared with the same period in fiscal 1995.
Marketing expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 increased approximately
$236,000, or 9%, when compared to the same period in 1995.  This increase in
marketing expenses relates to increased commissions resulting from the
increased sales and additional promotional expenses related to new product
introductions.  Research, development and engineering expenses for the quarter
ended March 31, 1996 increased approximately $100,000, or 19%, when compared to
the same period in fiscal 1995.  This increase relates to expenses incurred in
connection with new product development, primarily new vital signs monitors,
telemetry projects and digital oximetry designed for the changing health care
environment.

Non-operating expenses were $113,306 and $60,450 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  This increase is due to additional
interest expense resulting from the note issued upon the acquisition of
additional Immtech stock and periodic borrowing under the Company's line of
credit.  Interest income decreased due to lower cash balances on hand.

The net loss of $217,682 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compares to
net income of $52,937 recorded for the three months ended March 31, 1995.  This
change is due to the increased operating expenses incurred for new product
development and promotion.

The Company's cash balance has decreased due to increased accounts receivable
and inventory levels, increased investment in demonstration and loaner monitors
and production tooling and increased spending related to new product
development and promotion.  Accounts receivable have increased as a result of
international sales becoming a larger percentage of total sales.  
Historically, international sales have had a longer collection period.  The
increase in inventory is due to the expanded product line and sales for the
quarter ended March 31, 1996 being below forecasted levels.  The increase in
demonstration and loaner monitors is due to the expanded product line and the
increased number of sales representatives requiring demonstration monitors.
The production tooling acquisitions relate to the new products offered by the
Company.  The Company believes its marketing and research and development
activities and other capital and liquidity requirements will be satisfied by
cash generated from operations and periodic utilization of a commercial line of
credit of up to $4,000,000 currently in place.
