5. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
In February 1997, the Company issued $2,500,000 of convertible debentures. The
debentures have a two year term maturity with a stated annual interest rate of
8%, payable in shares of common stock at the conversion date or maturity date.
The holders of the debentures had the option to convert up to $1,250,000 of the
debentures and accrued interest to common stock of the Company sixty-one (61)
days after the February 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. Debentures aggregating $550,000
were converted under the 20% discount conversion feature. The remaining
debentures and accrued interest can be converted to common stock of the Company
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 in February 1999 at a 25% discount. Through
September 30, 1997, $2,000,000 of debentures have been converted to 462,945
shares of common stock with a fair market value of $2,707,456 as of the
conversion dates. As of September 30, 1997, $500,000 of original debentures
were outstanding with a carrying value, including accrued interest and
amortized discount, of $590,629.
Proceeds from the issuance of the debentures were recorded as a liability at
the issuance date. The conversion discount is amortized and reported as
additional interest expense over the life of the debentures. In the event the
debentures are converted prior to February 1999, additional interest expense is
recognized for any unamortized discount as of the conversion date. The
debentures are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at the
issuance price, plus any accrued interest and amortized discount.

6. CONTINGENCIES
The Company is involved in various lawsuits that have arisen from the normal
conduct of business and in connection with liquidating Criticare International
GmbH Marketing Services, a wholly owned subsidiary. These proceedings are
handled by outside counsel. In the opinion of management, the ultimate
resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on the consolidated
financial statements.
7. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings Per Share." the Company is currently in the process of evaluating
the accounting and disclosure effects of the Statement, which is required to be
adopted in the second quarter of fiscal 1998.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1996
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1997 increased 17% to $7.5
million from $6.5 million for the same period in fiscal 1997. Domestic
Hospital sales increased approximately $735,000 due to increased MPT/VitalView
telemetry systems and initial OEM shipments of the 506DX combination (oximetry,
noninvasive blood pressure and temperature) monitor produced for Alaris
Medical. Alternate Care sales increased approximately $272,000 due to
increased Model 507E vital signs monitor and 506DX combination monitor
shipments to non-hospital alternate care sites. International sales were
approximately the same as prior year levels.
The gross profit percentage of 46.5% for the three months ended September 30,
1997 was below the 48.2% gross profit percentage reported in the same period of
the previous fiscal year. Significant increases in gross profit recorded on
MPT/VitalView systems sales were offset by lower gross profit recorded on
International sales and increased unabsorbed manufacturing overhead related to
production start-up costs incurred on both the MPT/VitalView systems and the
506DX combination monitor.
Operating expenses increased approximately $25,000, but declined as a
percentage of sales to 38.7% from the previous year's level of 44.7%.
Marketing expenses increased approximately $20,000 when compared to the same
period in fiscal 1997 due to increased sales commissions related to the higher
sales volume offset in part by reduced expenses resulting from the
restructuring of international sales support from Germany to the corporate
office. Research, development and engineering expense declined approximately
$45,000 related to reduced outside contract and project expense.
Administrative expenses increased approximately $51,000 related to increased
payroll, insurance and legal expenses incurred in the three months ended
September 30, 1997 when compared to the same period in fiscal 1997.
Income from operations increased approximately $356,000 or 155% for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 when compared to the same period in fiscal 1997
due to the increased sales volume and control of operating expenses.
Non-operating expenses were approximately $414,000 and $178,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The increase was due
to the interest and purchase discount costs associated with the conversion of
$1,150,000 of the $2,500,000 total convertible debentures issued in February
1997, offset in part by lower
Page 8 of 10

line of credit borrowing interest expense and higher interest income from short
term cash investments.
Net income of $172,462 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 compares
to net income of $51,403 for the three months ended September 30, 1996.
LIQUIDITY
During the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company recorded a
positive cash flow of approximately $236,000 from operations with a cash
balance of approximately $2,517,000 and no short term borrowings. 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 utilization of the proceeds from the convertible debenture issue
of February 1997. In addition, the Company continues to engage in discussions
to establish a bank line of credit.
