Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

     On December 12, 1997, Image Guided Technologies, Inc. (the "Company")
finalized the acquisition of all the outstanding stock of Brimfield Precision,
Inc. ("Brimfield") for a purchase price of $9,285,000.  The purchase price was
paid with a combination of $7,785,000 in cash and 579,510 shares of the
Company's common stock (valued at the average of the last price for the 10 days
prior to December 12, 1997).

     Brimfield sells surgical instruments and orthopedic implants to OEM
surgical instrument companies.  Brimfield's products are used for spinal
surgery, orthopedic surgery and minimally invasive surgical procedures.  Prior
to its sale to the Company, Brimfield was owned by William and Matthew Lyons. 
William Lyons will continue to act as President of Brimfield and has been
elected as a director of the Company.

     The Company obtained the cash for the acquisition from bank financing and
its own funds.  The Company has entered into a secured loan agreement with
Imperial Bank pursuant to which Imperial Bank has loaned the Company $4,000,000
pursuant to a three-year term loan (payable in thirty-six equal installments of
principal) and up to $2,000,000 (the actual amount to be determined by a
collateral audit) pursuant to a revolving loan payable on or before June 30,
1999.  In connection with the loan agreement, the Company has agreed to raise
$1,000.000 in equity by March 15, 1998.  The Company paid Cruttenden 

                                      1


Roth ("Cruttenden") a $300,000 finder's fee for introducing the Company to, 
and advising the Company in negotiations with, Imperial Bank.  The Company 
has issued a one-year $500,000 subordinated note to Cruttenden to pay the 
finder's fee plus an additional $200,000 owed to Cruttenden.  In connection 
with the loan and subordinated note, the Company issued a seven-year warrant 
for 160,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $2.92 per share to 
Imperial Bank and a seven-year warrant for 100,000 shares of the Company's 
common stock at $2.92 per share to Cruttenden.

                           Independent Auditors' Report

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Brimfield Precision, Inc. (an
S-Corporation) as of October 31, 1997 and the related statements of operations
and retained earnings, and cash flows for the year then ended.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Brimfield Precision, Inc. as of
October 31, 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 OCTOBER 31, 1997


1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     A.   NATURE OF BUSINESS:  Brimfield Precision, Inc. manufactures
     specialized medical instruments and medical equipment.

     B.   ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE:  The Company accounts for uncollectible accounts
     receivable using the direct write-off method.  Generally accepted
     accounting principles require that the allowance method be used to account
     for bad debts.  The effects of this departure from generally accepted
     accounting principles on financial position, results of operations, and
     cash flows have been determined to be not material.

     C.   INVENTORY:  Inventory is valued at the lower of cost, determined on
     the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, or market.

     D.   PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:  Property and equipment are carried at cost. 
     Depreciation is computed on both the straight-line and accelerated methods
     based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets.  Depreciation
     expense was $530,875 for the year ended October 31, 1997.

     E.   CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:  The Company considers all highly liquid
     debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be
     cash equivalents.

     F.   USE OF ESTIMATES:  The preparation of financial statements in
     conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
     management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
     amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
     liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and
     expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from
     those estimates.

     G.   ADVERTISING:  The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. 
     Advertising expense was $42,737 in 1997.

     H.   INCOME TAXES: Effective November 1, 1986 the Company, with the consent
     of its stockholders, elected to be treated as an S Corporation.  In this
     status, the corporation is generally not a taxable entity and elements of
     income and expense flow through and are taxed to the stockholders on an
     individual basis.

     Effective for years ending on and after December 31, 1988, the Commonwealth
     of Massachusetts imposes an income tax on S Corporations whose gross
     receipts exceed $6,000,000.

     Massachusetts Investment Tax Credits are accounted for using the flow-
     through method which reduces income tax expense for the current year in
     which the credits are utilized.

     I.   FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:  The carrying value of cash and
     short and long-term debt is a reasonable estimate of the fair value based
     on instruments with similar terms and maturities.

     J.   AMORTIZATION:  The costs of intangible assets are amortized on a
     straight-line basis over a period of 5 to 17 years.

2.   TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

     Note payable - officer of $173,400 at October 31, 1997, is due in monthly
     principal installments of $1,275, plus interest at 8 3/4%.  An additional
     final principal payment of $159,375 is due October 1998, unless paid
     sooner.

     The Company leases a facility and land in Brimfield, Massachusetts which is
     owned by a former stockholder of the Company.  In addition, the Company has
     constructed a building on the leased property.  Rental expense for the
     building and land in 1997 amounted to $108,000.

     The Company subleases a facility in Springfield, Massachusetts from a
     corporation in which the two stockholders are the same stockholders of
     Brimfield Precision, Inc.  The lease agreement requires payments of $4,927
     per month until December 2001.


3.   NOTE PAYABLE - BANK

     At October 31, 1997 the Company had no borrowings under a line of credit
     agreement with a bank.  The agreement provides for interest at the bank's

     The Company performs regular credit reviews of its significant customers'
     financial condition.  Receivables generally are collected within 60 days.
     
     The Company maintains its operating accounts in certain financial
     institutions, which balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
     Corporation up to $100,000. At times, the Company may maintain operating
     account balances which exceed $100,000.


7.   INVENTORY

     Inventory consisted of the following at October 31, 1997:

           
           Raw materials                              $  144,871

                                                      ----------

8.   INCOME TAXES
     
     The components of income tax expense related to continuing operations at
     October 31, 1997 were:

           
           Tax computed at statutory rates              $ 55,609
           Investment tax credit taken currently         (27,000)
           Deferred taxes - State                        (18,000)
                                                        --------
           Total provision for income taxes             $ 10,609

                                                        --------

     As of October 31, 1997, a Massachusetts Investment Tax Credit carryforward
     of approximately $18,000, which begins to expire in 2003, is available to
     offset future Massachusetts tax. 

     Deferred income taxes provide for the effects of timing differences in
     reporting for financial statement and income tax purposes.  Such timing
     differences primarily relate to Massachusetts Investment Tax Credits.
     
     At October 31, 1997 the long-term deferred tax asset consisted of the
     following temporary difference component:

           
           Massachusetts Investment Tax Credit           $18,000
