GENERAL


         On February 13, 1998 the Company entered into a Letter of Intent with
E.M. Parker, Inc. with respect to sale of a subsidiary's (Empower, Inc.) film
and x-ray accessories business. Terms of the transaction are currently being
negotiated.


         Effective February 4, 1998 the Company restructured its Swiss
operations. A newly formed company, Teleray Research and Development AG, was
founded as a Spin off of the development department of Teleray AG. SR Medical
AG, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant, was renamed SR Medical Holding
AG and sold all of the assets and liabilities of its sales and service
department to Teleray AG, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant, which was
then renamed SR Medical AG.

THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED
MARCH 31, 1997

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Net sales amounted to $6,498,416 for the three-month period ended March
31, 1998 an increase of $3,453,445 compared to $3,044,971, or 113.4%, for the
three-month period ended March 31, 1997. The increase in net sales was partially
due to the acquisition of Empower, Inc on April 1, 1997. The Company also
increased sales in Swiss Francs made under its Philips OEM Agreement by
approximately 545%.

         Gross profit increased by $6,700, to $1,168,226 for the three-month
period ended March 31, 1998 from $1,161,526 for the three-month period ended
March 31, 1997. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 18.0%
for the three-month period ended March 31, 1998 from 38.2% for the three-month
period ended March 31, 1997 The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net
revenues is attributable to the fact that a major part of the sales was made
with products which have a relatively lower margin during the three months ended
March 31, 1998 compared to the comparative period ended March 31, 1997 where
sales of high margin products and revenue from servicing of x-ray equipment with
high margin dominated.

         Operating expenses increased by $2,529,964, or 112.8% to $4,773,545, or
73.5% of net revenues, for the three-month period ended March 31, 1998, from
$2,243,581, or 73.7% of net revenues for the three-month period ended March 31,
1997. The single largest items of operating expenses continued to be officers
and directors compensation and salaries of $1,467,740 or 22.6% of net sales for
the three-month period ended March 31, 1998 compared to $599,696 or
19.7% of net sales for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997. Other
operating expenses increased to $845,610 or 13.0% of net revenue for the three
month period ended March 31, 1998 from $296,714 or 9.7% of net revenue for the
three month period ended March 31, 1997. This increase was primarily due to the
efforts to keep the production up during the phase of extension in the
production plant in Switzerland. Selling expenses were $721,891 or 11.1% for the
three-month period ended March 31,1998 compared to $312,966 or 10.3% for the
three-month period ended March 31,1997. The increase in selling expenses was
partially due to the selling expenses attributable to Empower, Inc. which was
not a subsidiary of the Company during the three-month period ended March 31,
1997 as well as the efforts of the Company to market its digital Add On System
in the US. Research and development expenses increased $303,250 to $763,373 or
11.7% of net sales for the three-month period ended March 31, 1998 compared to
$460,132 or 7.1% of net sales for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997.
Interest expenses increased to $1,960,362 for the three month ended March 31,
1998 compared to $33,939 for the three month ended March 31, 1997. This increase
is primarily due to the interest expense for amortization of Debenture issuance
cost and Conversion Benefit


NINE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO NINE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED
MARCH 31, 1997

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Net sales amounted to $17,800,994 for the nine-month period ended March
31, 1998 compared to $9,117,390, an increase of $8,683,604, or 95.2%, from the
nine-month period ended March 31, 1997. The increase in net sales was partially
due to the acquisition of Empower, Inc. on April 1, 1997 and the Asset
purchase of Service Support Group LLC on October 17, 1997. The Company could
also increased sales in Swiss Francs made under its Philips OEM Agreement by
approximately 445%.


                                        4
<PAGE>   11
         Gross profit decreased by $335,840, or 7.9%, to $3,879,857, for the
nine-month period ended March 31, 1998 from $4,215,697 for the nine-month period
ended March 31, 1997. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues decreased to
21.8% for the nine-month period ended March 31, 1998 from 46.2% for the
nine-month period ended March 31, 1997. The decrease in gross profits as a
percentage of net revenues is attributable to the fact that a major part of the
sales was made with products which have a relatively lower margin during the
nine month ended March 31, 1998 compared to the comparative period ended March
31, 1997 where sales of high margin products dominated.


         Operating expenses increased by $3,123,645, or 36.8% to $11,607,137, or
65.2% of net revenues, for the nine-month period ended March 31, 1998, from
$8,483,492, or 93.0% of net revenues for the nine-month period ended March 31,
1997. The single largest items of operating expenses continued to be officers
and directors compensation and salaries of $3,645,056 or 20.5% of net sales for
the nine-month period ended March 31, 1998 compared to $1,987,911 or 21.8% of
net sales for the nine-month period ended March 31, 1997. Selling expenses were
$2,396,089 or 13.5% for the nine-month period ended March 31, 1998 compared to
$869,710 or 4.9% for the nine-month period ended March 31, 1997. The increase in
selling expenses was partially due to the selling expenses attributable to
Empower, Inc. which was not a subsidiary of the Company during the nine-months
period ended March 31, 1997 and the selling expenses of Swissray Medical
Systems, Inc. for marketing the digital Add On System in the US, which
activities started after July 1, 1997. Research and development expenses
decreased $112,110 to $2,185,855 or 12.3% of net sales for the nine-month period
ended March 31, 1998 compared to $2,297,965 or 25.2% of net sales for the
nine-month period ended March 31, 1997. Interest expenses increased to
$6,377,276 for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 compared to $171,416 for the
nine months ended March 31, 1997. This increase is primarily due to the interest
expense for amortization of Debenture issuance cost and Conversion Benefit. Gain
on early extinguishment of Debt was $304,923 for the nine months ended March 31,
1998 compared to $-0- for the nine months ended March 31, 1997. The
extinguishment gain resulted from refinancing of Convertible debentures.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

March 31, 1998 compared to June 30, 1997

         Total assets of the Company on March 31, 1998 increased by $5,136,085
to $29,924,319 from $24,788,234 on June 30, 1997, primarily due to
the increase of Current Assets, Property and Equipment and Goodwill resulting
from the purchase of substantially all of the assets of Service Support Group
LLC, located in Gig Harbor, Washington ("SSG").The increase in Property and
Equipment resulted from the extension and expansion of the production plant in
Hochdorf, Switzerland. Current Assets increased $2,169,184 to $16,262,530 on
March 31, 1998 from $14,093,346 on June 30, 1997. The increase in current assets
is primarily attributable to the increase of Inventories of $4,535,233 which was
partially offset by the decrease in Cash and Accounts payable. Other Assets
increased $1,661,918 to $8,020,189 on March 31, 1998 from $6,358,271 on June 30,
1997. The increase is primarily due to the increase in Goodwill.


         On March 31, 1998, the Company had total liabilities of $22,776,313
compared to $17,095,046 on June 30, 1997. On March 31, 1998, current liabilities
were $10,425,769 compared to $11,259,798 on June 30, 1997. Working capital at
March 31, 1998 was $5,836,761 compared to $2,833,548 at June 30, 1997.

CASH FLOW AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES NINE MONTHS PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 1998
COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 1998.

         Cash used for operating activities for the nine months ended March 31,
1998 increased to $9,287,591 from $7,618,847 for the nine months ended March 31,
1997 and cash used for investing activities increased to $2,340,976 for the nine
months ended March 31, 1998 from $455,355 for the nine months ended March 31,
1997. Cash flow from financing activities for the nine months ended March 31,
1998 was $10,758,418 compared to $7,784,153 for the period ended March 31, 1997.

         The Company anticipates that its use of cash will be substantial for
the foreseeable future. In particular, management of the Company expects
substantial expenditures in connection with the improvement of the new Hochdorf,
Switzerland facility, the continuation of the strengthening and expansion of the
Company's marketing organization and, to a lesser degree, ongoing research and
development projects. The availability of the necessary funds to finance these
expenditures depends on the Company's ability to obtain (i) equity and/or debt
financing to the extent necessary and (ii) a sufficient future cash flow which
in turn depends on the marketability of the Company's AddOn-Multi-System. There
can be no assurance whether or not such financing or sufficient future cash flow
will be available.

         On August 19, 1997, the Company issued $5,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of 6% convertible debentures (the "Convertible Debentures"), convertible
into Common Stock of the Company. Placement Agent for such convertible debenture
was Rolcan Finance Ltd. The aggregate offering price of the Convertible
Debentures was $5,000,000. After deducting underwriting discounts, commissions
and escrow fees in the aggregate amount of $681,250 the Company received a net
amount of $4,318,750. All Convertible Debentures were issued to accredited
investors as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Act
("Regulation D") and the Company has received written representations from each
investor to that effect. Fifty percent of the face amount of the Convertible
Debentures were convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Company at any
time after November 3, 1997 and the remaining 50% of the face value of the
Convertible Debentures were convertible into shares of Common Stock of the
Company after December 3, 1997, in each case at a conversion price equal to 80%
of the average Closing bid price for the five trading days preceding the date of
conversion. Any Convertible Debentures not so converted were subject to
mandatory conversion by the Company on the 36th monthly anniversary of the date
of issuance of the Convertible Debentures. All conversions have been completed
(or rolled over as indicated below).

         Between November 26, 1997 and December 11, 1997, the Company issued
$2,158,285 aggregate principal amount of 8% convertible debentures (the
"Convertible Debentures") including a 15% premium and accrued interest,
convertible into Common Stock of the Company. The registrant did not receive any
cash proceeds from the offering of the Convertible Debentures. An amount of
$2,158,285 was paid by investors to holders of the Company's Convertible
Debentures issued on August 19,1997 holding $1,850,000 of such Convertible
Debentures as repayment in full of the Company's obligations under such
Convertible Debentures as repayment in full of the Company's obligations under
such convertible Debentures. During the same period the Company issued
$3,690,000 aggregate principal amount of 8% Convertible Debentures, convertible
into Common Stock of the Company. After deducting fees, commissions and escrow
fees in the aggregate amount of $690,000 the Company received a net amount of
$3,000,000. All Convertible Debentures were issued to accredited investors as
defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Act ("Regulation
D") and the Company has received written representations from each investor to
that effect. Twenty-five percent of the face amount of both Convertible
Debentures are convertible into shares of


                                        6
<PAGE>   13
Common Stock of the Company commencing March 12, 1998 (the effective date of the
Registration Statement covering the underlying shares of common stock). An
additional twenty-five percent of the face amount of both Convertible Debentures
may be converted each 30 days thereafter, in each case at a conversion price
equal to 75% of the average closing bid price for the five trading days
preceding the date of the conversion. Any Convertible Debentures not so
converted are subject to mandatory conversion by the Company on the 24th monthly
anniversary of the date of issuance of the Convertible Debentures. As of April
30, 1998 the aggregate principal amount of $2,165,696.50 in Convertible
Debentures had been converted leaving an unconverted balance of $3,682,588.50

         On March 16, 1998, the Company issued $5,500,000 aggregate principal
amount of 6% convertible debentures (the "Convertible Debentures"), convertible
into Common Stock of the Company. After deducting fees, directly attributable to
such offering the Company received a net amount of $4,915,000. All Convertible
Debentures were issued to accredited investors as defined in Rule 501(a) of
Regulation D promulgated under the Act ("Regulation D") and the Company has
received written representations from each investor to that effect. One Hundred
percent of the face amount of the Convertible Debentures are convertible into
shares of Common Stock of the Company at the earlier of the effective date of
the Registration Statement or May 15, 1998. at a conversion price equal to 80%
of the average Closing bid price for the ten trading days preceding the date of
conversion. Any Convertible Debentures not so converted are subject to mandatory
conversion by the Company on the 24th monthly anniversary of the date of
issuance of the Convertible Debentures.


EFFECT OF CURRENCY ON RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The result of operations and the financial position of the Company's
subsidiaries outside of the United States is reported in the relevant foreign
currency (primarily in Swiss Francs) and then translated into US dollars at the
applicable foreign exchange rate for inclusion in the Company's consolidated
financial statements. Accordingly, the results of operations of such
subsidiaries as reported in US dollars can vary significantly as a result of
changes in currency exchange rates (in particular the exchange rate between the
Swiss Franc and the US dollar).

PART II  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

         On or about October 15, 1997, the Registrant and Swissray Healthcare,
Inc. were served with a complaint by a company engaged in the business of
providing services related to imaging equipment alleging benefit from breach of
fiduciary and contractual duties and misappropriation of trade secrets by
certain former employees of such competitor. Such company also obtained a
preliminary injunction and a temporary restraining order against the Registrant
and Swissray Healthcare, Inc. On November 10, 1997, the preliminary injunction
and the temporary restraining order were vacated. On December 1, 1997 and
January 30, 1998 the Registrant answered the Complaint and Amended Complaint
respectively by denying the allegations contained therein.The Plaintiff in such
action (on December 2, 1997) filed a Motion to reargue and renew its prior
denied Motion for a Preliminary Injunction and Registrant filed necessary
responsive papers. As of March 31, 1998 such Motion remains pending. The Company
denies the allegations, intends to vigorously defend the litigation, and


                                        7

believes the ultimate outcome thereof will not have a material adverse effect
upon the Company's results of operations or financial position. The Company
believes that the complaint is without merit.

Item 5. OTHER INFORMATION

         The financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 and
the nine months ended March 31, 1997 (unaudited) have been restated to properly
record the accounting treatment of certain beneficial conversion features and
debt issuance cost of convertible debentures issued and the accounting for the
value of stock options granted during the year ended June 30, 1997 and nine
months ended March 31, 1997 (unaudited). The net effect of such restatements on
the June 30, 1997 financial statements resulted in an increase in total assets
of $435,619, a decrease in total liabilities of $689,141, an increase in
stockholders equity of $1,124,760 and an increase in the net loss of $588,846
for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 (unaudited).


         The Registrant has previously reported an order backlog for its digital
X-ray equipment as of June 30, 1997 of $30,000,000; $29,000,000 of which related
to a contract with a purchaser located in South Korea. As a result of the recent
economic problems in that country, management currently does not expect that
such order will be filled (to any significant degree) in the current calendar
year (if at all) absent a dramatic positive change in such economic conditions.
