Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Result of Operations
         and Financial Condition


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 were $26,675,000 representing
a 23% increase over the $21,670,000 recorded for the quarter ended September 30,
1994. The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to increases in total
unit and dollar sales for the Company's obstructive sleep apnea products. In
addition, sales of the Company's face masks and other patient interface devices
used as accessories for its obstructive sleep apnea and ventilatory support
units increased significantly in both unit and dollar terms. Finally, sales of
the Company's ventilatory support units also increased in both unit and dollar
terms as well.

The Company's gross profit was 57% of net sales for the quarter ended September
30, 1995 as compared to 56% for the quarter ended September 30, 1994.     This
improvement was due primarily to the Company's ability to limit the growth of
manufacturing and manufacturing support costs to rates less than the rate of
sales increase achieved.

General and administrative expenses were $4,017,000 (15% of net sales) for the
quarter ended September 30, 1995 as compared to $3,169,000 (15% of net sales)
for the quarter ended September 30, 1994. The increase in absolute dollars was
due primarily to increased legal fees incurred relating to the previously
disclosed action brought against the Company by a competitor, Rescare Limited.
The increase was also due, to a lesser extent, to a larger provision made during
the quarter for year end profit sharing bonuses based on financial results
achieved and to increased staffing.

Sales, marketing and commission expenses were $4,524,000 (17% of net sales)  for
the quarter ended September 30, 1995 as compared to $3,884,000 (18% of net
sales) for the quarter ended September 30, 1994.   This increase in absolute
dollars was due primarily to costs associated with trade shows,  salary expenses
for new employees, and commission expenses based on higher sales levels
achieved.

Research and development expenses were $1,693,000 (6% of net sales) for the
quarter ended September 30, 1995 as compared to $1,471,000 (7% of net sales) for
the quarter ended September 30, 1994. This increase in absolute dollars reflects
the extensive new product development efforts currently underway to support new
product introductions in the Company's major product groups. Several new
products were introduced during the current quarter, and other new product
introductions are scheduled for the remainder of fiscal year 1996 with initial
distribution in international markets until regulatory approval in the United
States is obtained.







                                       8

 
The Company's effective income tax rate was 38% for the quarter ended September
30, 1995  as compared to 37% for the quarter ended September 30, 1994.   Changes
in the Company's effective income tax rate are due primarily to changes  in the
relative proportion of the Company's taxable income attributable to its United
States operation versus taxable income attributable to its Hong Kong and Peoples
Republic of China operations because the United States operation pays income
taxes at a higher rate (approximately 41% before available income tax credits)
than do the Hong Kong and Peoples Republic of China operations.   For the
quarter to quarter comparison, the proportion of taxable income attributable to
the United States operation increased.

As a result of the factors described above, the Company's net income was
$3,219,000 (12% of net sales) for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 as
compared to $2,420,000 (11% of net sales) for the quarter ended September 30,
1994.


FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company had working capital of $41,386,000 at September 30, 1995 and
$39,413,000 at June 30, 1995.   Net cash used by operating activities was
$176,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to  net cash
provided by operating activities of $2,586,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1994.    The net use of cash for the current quarter was due
primarily to increases in inventory and accounts receivable and decreases in
accounts payable and accrued compensation in amounts greater than the changes in
those accounts during the first quarter of last fiscal year.   The increase in
inventory was due to the Company's purchase of raw materials for certain of its
new products, including those introduced during the current quarter and those
scheduled for introduction during the remainder of the fiscal year and to the
completion of stocking of the Company's warehouse in Reno, Nevada.  This
warehouse opened in March 1995.

Net cash used by investing activities was $2,192,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1995 as compared to $1,460,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1994.   Essentially all of the cash used by investing activities
for both periods represented capital expenditures, including  the purchase of
production equipment, computer and telecommunications equipment, and office
equipment.  The funding for capital expenditures in the current quarter was
provided by accumulated cash and short-term investment balances, and in last
year's first quarter was provided by positive cash flows from operating
activities and by accumulated cash and short-term investment balances.

The Company believes that positive cash flow  from operating activities
projected for the remainder of the fiscal year,  the availability of the full
amount of funds under its commercial bank line of credit, and its accumulated
cash and short-term investments will be sufficient to meet its current and
presently



                                       9

 
anticipated future  needs for the remainder of fiscal year 1996 for
operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities (primarily
consisting of payments on long-term debt ).
