           NOTES TO UNAUDITED PROFORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.       Basis of Presentation
         ---------------------
          On October 12,  2001,  the Company sold  substantially  all the assets
          related  to  its   electrosurgical   operations   to  Q2  Medical  for
          approximately  $1,816,000  in cash.  The  assets  sold  consist of the
          Company's   electrosurgical   operations   and  certain  other  assets
          associated  with  its  electrosurgical  business,  excluding  cash and
          accounts  receivable.  The  Agreement  also  provides  for  payment of
          approximately  $71,000 under a Transition Agreement to the Company for
          services  to  be   performed   to  assist  in  the   transfer  of  the
          electrosurgical business to Q2 Medical.

          In  connection  with the sale,  the  Company  paid Bank of America all
          amounts required under the terms of a Settlement Agreement between the
          Company  and  Bank of  America.  The  Company  owed  Bank  of  America
          $1,710,000  as of October 12, 2001 plus  accrued  interest and settled
          its debt for a payment of $1,512,000  which results in  forgiveness of
          debt income of approximately  $198,000 which will be recognized by the
          Company in the third quarter.

          The proforma  condensed  consolidated  balance  sheet as of August 31,
          2001  gives  effect  to the sale of  substantially  all  assets of the
          Company's  electrosurgical  business to Q2 Medical as if the sale took
          place on August 31, 2001.

          The proforma  condensed  consolidated  statement of operations for the
          six months ended  August 31, 2001 and for the year ended  February 28,
          2001  includes  the  sale  of  substantially  all  the  assets  of the
          Company's electrosurgical business as if the transaction was completed
          on March 1, 2000. The loss on sale of the electrosurgical  business is
          not included in the proforma  condensed  statement of operations.  The
          estimated  loss on sale as if the sale took place on August  31,  2001
          would have been approximately $1,000.

2.       Proforma Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
         ----------------------------------------------------
          The proforma  net income  (loss) per share of common stock is based on
          the weighted  average number of common shares  outstanding  during the
          period.

3.       Proforma Adjustments
         --------------------
          Adjustments to present the proforma condensed  consolidated  financial
          statements are as follows:

               1.   Adjustment  to  record  the sales  proceeds  for the sale of
                    substantially    all   the    assets   of   the    Company's
                    electrosurgical  business  to Q2  Medical  and to remove the
                    assets  sold as of August  31,  2001.  Includes  payment  of
                    estimated legal, accounting and other estimated costs of the
                    sale of approximately $100,000.

               2.   Adjustment  to record the  removal  of the notes  payable to
                    Bank of  America  which  were  paid out of the  proceeds  at
                    closing.

               3.   Adjustment to remove the  operations of the  electrosurgical
                    business for the period.

               4.   Adjustment  to remove the interest  expense  incurred on the
                    notes payable of the electrosurgical business. The notes are

                    purposes of the statement of operations.
