         The undersigned registrant hereby amends its Current Report on Form 8-
K, for an event which occurred on December 31, 1996.

Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         This item has not been amended from the registrant's Current Report on
         Form 8-K, dated December 31, 1996 and has been included herein for
         convenience of reference only.

         On December 31, 1996, Summit Medical Systems, Inc. ("Summit") acquired
         C. L. McIntosh & Associates, Inc. ("CLM") pursuant to an Agreement and
         Plan of Merger among Summit, CLM Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned
         subsidiary of Summit ("Merger Subsidiary") and CLM, under which Merger
         Subsidiary was merged with and into CLM, with CLM as the surviving
         corporation (the "Merger"). As a result of the Merger, CLM became a
         wholly owned subsidiary of Summit. In connection with the Merger, 100
         issued and outstanding shares of common stock of CLM were exchanged for
         976,453 shares of common stock of Summit ("Summit Common Stock"). The
         number of shares of Summit Common Stock issued in the Merger equaled
         the quotient of $7,000,000 divided by the average of the closing price
         per share of Summit Common Stock from the Nasdaq National Market during
         the period of December 13, 1996 through December 27, 1996.

Item 7.  Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits.

       (a)    Financial Statements of Business Acquired
 
              Report of Independent Auditors, dated December 5, 1996, except for
              Note 7, as to which the date is December 31, 1996.

              The audited financial statements of CLM for the fiscal year ended
              December 31, 1995.

       (b)    Pro Forma Financial Information

              The pro forma financial information of Summit is not provided in
              this amendment. As previously announced by Summit, Summit and its
              independent auditors are in the process of determining the extent
              to which Summit is required to restate its financial statements
              for the years ended 1994 and 1995. Until such review and any
              restatement to Summit's financial statements is completed in
              connection with the filing of Summit's Annual Report on Form 10-K
              for 1996, Summit is unable to file the pro forma financial
              information. Summit intends to file, an amendment to this
              Current Report, including such pro forma financial information, as
              soon as practicable after filing of Summit's Form 10-K for 1996.
