The Company's German subsidiary is subject to a court judgment in Germany in
the amount of approximately $185,000 related to an employment termination
dispute. The subsidiary and the Company vigorously object to the court's
ruling, and the subsidiary intends to appeal this judgment. If the judgment
stands, the Company's consolidated income statement is likely to be required to
reflect that judgment.

7. FINANCING
On February 3, 1997 the Company completed a $2,500,000 convertible debenture
purchase agreement with an investment company, Paresco, Inc. The convertible
debentures have a two year term to maturity with an annual interest rate of 8%
payable in shares of common stock at the conversion date or maturity date.
$1,250,000 of the debentures may be converted to common stock of the Company
sixty-one (61) days after the February 3, 1997 closing date at a conversion
price equal to a 20% discount from the average closing bid price of the
Company's common stock for the five days preceding the conversion date.
$1,250,000 of the debentures may be converted to common stock of the company
ninety-one (91) days after the February 3, 1997 closing date at a conversion
price equal to a 25% discount from the average closing bid price of the
Company's common stock for the five days preceding the conversion date. Any
unconverted debentures and accrued interest will be automatically converted to
common stock on February 2, 1999. The purchaser of the debentures is
prohibited from converting any portion of the debenture which would result in
the purchaser being deemed the beneficial owner of 4.99% or more of the
Company's outstanding common stock.
8. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," which was effective for the Company beginning July 1, 1996.
SFAS No. 123 requires expanded disclosures of stock-based compensation
arrangements with employees and encourages (but does not require) compensation
cost to be measured based on the fair value of the equity instrument awarded.
Companies are permitted, however, to continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25,
which recognizes compensation cost based on the intrinsic value of the equity
instrument awarded. The Company will continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25 to
its stock based compensation awards to employees and will disclose the required
pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share in its annual financial
statement.

CRITICARE SYSTEMS, INC.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Six Months Ended December 31, 1996 and 1995
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales for the six months ended December 31, 1996 decreased 17% to $13.1
million from $15.7 million for the same period in fiscal 1996. Hospital sales
decreases were primarily due to lower anesthetic agent monitor and Maestro ECG
telemetry shipments, Alternate Care experienced a decrease in oximeter
shipments, and International shipments of anesthetic agent monitors decreased
from the previous fiscal year levels.
The gross profit percentage decreased from 48.9% for the six months ended
December 31, 1995 to 47.4% for the six months ended December 31, 1996 due
primarily to increased manufacturing expenses related to new product start-up
costs and the effect of the lower sales volume on manufacturing fixed expenses.
Operating expenses decreased approximately $1,098,000, or 15%, for the six
months ended December 31, 1996 when compared with the same period in the
previous fiscal year. Marketing expenses decreased approximately $949,000, or
19%, when compared to the same period in fiscal 1996 due to lower trade show,
advertising and sales commission expenses. Research development and
engineering expense declined approximately $67,000 although product development
has been increased on the MPT/VitalView Telemetry product as well as the
combination digital oximetry noninvasive blood pressure and temperature product
being developed for IVAC Medical Systems OEM distribution. Administrative
expenses declined approximately $82,000 related to lower payroll, insurance and
consulting expenses incurred in the six months ended December 31, 1996 when
compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year.
Non-operating expenses were approximately $324,000 for the six months ended
December 31, 1996 compared to approximately $2,659,000 for the same period in
fiscal 1996, which included a $2,500,000 charge related to the investment in
Immtech. Interest income declined approximately $38,000 due to lower cash
investments while interest expense increased approximately $104,000 due to
increased borrowing against the Company's line of credit and increased interest
expense related to the note issued upon the investment in Immtech for the six
months ended December 31, 1996 when compared to the same period in fiscal 1996.
The net loss of approximately $246,000 for the six months ended December 31,
1996 compares to a net loss of approximately $2,310,000 which includes the
$2,500,000 Immtech investment charge for the same period ended December 31,
1995.

CRITICARE SYSTEMS, INC.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Three Months Ended December 31, 1996 and 1995
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 1996 were $6.6 million
compared to $8.7 million for the same period in the previous fiscal year.
Hospital sales decreases were primarily due to lower anesthetic agent monitor
and Maestro ECG Telemetry shipments, Alternate Care oximeter product sales
decreased, and International oximeter and vital signs monitor sales decreased
from the levels recorded in the comparable three month period ended December
31, 1995.
The gross profit percentage decreased to 46.5% for the three months ended
December 31, 1996 from 49.9% for the three months ended December 31, 1995 due
primarily to lower margins on International oximeter and vital signs monitor
sales and increased manufacturing expense related to new product start-up
costs.
Operating expenses decreased approximately $861,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 1996 when compared with the same period in the previous fiscal
year. Marketing expenses decreased approximately $703,000 when compared to the
same period in fiscal 1996 due to lower trade show, advertising and sales
commission expenses. Research development and engineering expense declined
approximately $118,000 despite accelerated project activity related to the
MPT/VitalView Telemetry product and the combination digital oximetry,
noninvasive blood pressure and temperature product being developed for IVAC
Medical Systems OEM distribution. Administrative expenses declined
approximately $41,000 due to lower insurance and consulting expenses incurred
in the three months ended December 31, 1996 when compared to the same period in
fiscal 1996.
Non-operating expenses were approximately $146,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 1996 compared to approximately $2,584,000 for the same period in
fiscal 1996 which included a $2,500,000 charge related to the investment in
Immtech. Interest income declined due to reduced cash investments while
interest expense increased due to increased borrowing against the company's
line of credit and increased interest expense related to the note issued upon
the investment in Immtech for the three months ended December 31, 1996 compared
to the same period in fiscal 1996.
Page 10 of 12
11
The net loss of approximately $297,000 for the three months ended December 31,
1996 compares to a net loss of approximately $2,375,000 which includes the
$2,500,000 Immtech investment charge for the same period ended December 31,
1995.
LIQUIDITY
During the six months ended December 31, 1996 the Company was able to generate
a positive cash flow from operations of approximately $461,000 and reduced its
bank line of credit borrowings by $800,000. The Company believes its marketing
and research and development activities and other capital and liquidity
requirements will be satisfied by cash generated from operations, utilization
of its bank line of credit, and the $2,500,000 convertible debenture financing
completed on February 3, 1997.
