               Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)

                                  June 30, 1996


BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim 
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310 
of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information 
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for 
complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, 
consisting only of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair 
presentation have been included in the accompanying unaudited financial 
statements.  In addition, certain amounts for prior periods have been 
reclassified to be comparable with the current period presentation.   
Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 are 
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full 
year ending December 31, 1996. For further information, refer to the 
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual 
report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1995.

INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

     The Company completed an initial public offering on January 31, 1996 of 
1,449,918 units with each unit consisting of two shares of common stock, no 
par value per share, and one redeemable common stock purchase warrant, 
whereby 1,252,996 units were sold by the Company and 196,922 units were sold 
by certain lenders who provided interim financing to the Company (the 
"Selling Bridge Securityholders"). The Company received proceeds of 
approximately $6.1 million net of expenses of approximately $1.7 million and 
intends to use such proceeds for, among other things,  the expansion of its 
sales and marketing activities. Further, $210,000 of the proceeds were used 
to redeem certain common shares issued for rent.  

     Immediately prior to the closing of the initial public offering, the 
following became effective: (i) all outstanding shares of preferred stock of 
the Company were converted into common stock, (ii) certain convertible notes 
issued to the Selling Bridge Securityholders in the original principal amount 
of $800,000 were converted into 196,622 units, (iii) the Company's 
certificate of incorporation was amended to increase the authorized common 
stock of the Company to 10,000,000 shares, (iv) the Company's certificate of 
incorporation was amended to eliminate the class of preferred stock, and (v) 
a 4.93599 - to - 1 stock split with respect to common stock was effected.   
Accordingly, all common share amounts have been restated to give effect to 
the 4.93599 - to - 1 stock split.

EARNINGS PER SHARE AND SUPPLEMENTAL NET LOSS PER SHARE

     Earnings per common share is computed using the treasury stock method 
based on the weighted average number of common shares and common stock 
equivalent shares outstanding during the period, as adjusted retroactively 
for the aforementioned stock split.   Shares from the assumed exercise of 
options and warrants granted by the Company and shares issuable in connection 
with the Company's convertible preferred stock have been included in the 
computations of earnings per share for all periods unless their inclusion 
would be anti-dilutive.  However, for purposes of computing net loss per 
share, options and warrants granted by the Company during the 12 months 
preceding the initial public offering date, including those shares issuable 
in connection with the anti-dilution provisions of certain warrant 
agreements, have been included in the calculation of common stock and common 
stock equivalent shares outstanding as if they were outstanding for all 
periods presented using the treasury stock method and the public offering 
price of $6.25 per unit or $3.00 per share and $0.25 per warrant.

     Supplemental net loss per share of common stock for the six month period 
ended June 30, 1996 was ($0.28).  Supplemental net loss per share of common 
stock is computed using the if-converted method based on the pro forma 
weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalent 
as defined above, and convertible preferred shares that were converted into 
common stock on a 1-4.55 basis upon the closing of the initial public 
offering, adjusted retroactively for the aforementioned stock split.  Net 
loss per share used in the supplemental loss per share calculation was 
decreased for dividend requirements on preferred shares.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

GENERAL

    The Company was founded in 1984 to perform consulting services, provide 
seminar leadership and undertake, on a contract basis, engineering and 
research and development projects related to robotics and robotics 
applications. These activities subsequently branched into product 
development, culminating in the development of several products having 
commercial applications, and ultimately, in the Company's flagship product, 
the HelpMate-Registered Trademark- robotics courier system. The Company 
historically has derived revenue from three principal sources: rentals of 
HelpMates, sales of HelpMates and to a lesser extent research and development 
contracts. The Company also has derived revenues from the sale of other 
robotic components such as LabMate, LightRanger and BiSight.

     The Company's near-term objective is to attain profitability by 
establishing the HelpMate robotics system as a flexible, cost-efficient and 
preferred method for transporting materials within hospitals and other 
healthcare facilities. Although the Company believes that its HelpMate robots 
have demonstrated their viability, the Company historically had insufficient 
funding to engage in a full-scale marketing program. The Company's business 
strategy is to (a) build a marketing and customer service staff that will 
implement its marketing program for the rental and sale of HelpMates to 
hospital users within North America, and (b) enhance its HelpMate robotics 
systems through product improvement, cost reduction and new feature 
development. The Company has hired five individuals throughout the United 
States in the first six months of 1996 as a means to help it achieve this 
objective.  In addition, the Company recently resumed its presentation of 
HelpMates at trade shows and has planned to attend at least five such shows 
in 1996 and one in 1997. Two such shows were attended in the first six months 
of 1996, resulting in a significant amount of prospective customers. The 
Company is also exploring distribution opportunities in North America through 
third parties. To that end, the Company entered into an agreement with Bell & 
Howell Mailmobile Company ("Bell & Howell") pursuant to which Bell & Howell 
became the Company's marketing representative, on a nonexclusive basis, for 
HelpMates and peripheral equipment in certain southwestern states.  However, 
to date the Company's relationship with Bell & Howell has not proved fruitful 
(no orders received to date) and therefore the Company is reevaluating its 
arrangement with Bell & Howell. The Company has also contracted with a health 
care equipment manufacturer's representative to handle the greater New York 
area and retained two public relations firms to help promote Helpmate. 

     Revenues from products sales are recognized after delivery, installation 
and training of customers on the product. Revenues from maintenance contracts 
on product sales are recognized on a straight line basis over the life of the 
contract. Revenues from sales to licensees are recognized upon shipment. 
Revenues from product rentals pursuant to monthly operating equipment leases 
are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Research and 
development contracts are comprised principally of studies and prototypes of 
robotic applications predominantly for governmental agencies and are 
accounted for under the percentage of completion method, based upon costs 
incurred.

INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

     The Company completed an initial public offering on January 31, 1996 of 
1,449,918 units with each unit consisting of two shares of common stock, no 
par value per share, and one redeemable common stock purchase warrant, 
whereby 1,252,996 units were sold by the Company and 196,922 units were sold 
by certain lenders who provided interim financing to the Company (the 
"Selling Bridge Securityholders"). The Company received proceeds of 
approximately $6.1 million net of expenses of approximately $1.7 million and 
has begun to use such proceeds for, among other things,  the expansion of its 
sales and marketing activities. Further, $210,000 of the proceeds were used 
to redeem certain common shares issued for rent.  

REVENUES

     Total revenues increased by $230,331 or 21.64%  from the six months 
ended June 30, 1995 compared to the six month period ended June 30, 1996.  
Rental revenues increased by $90,703 or 19.46%; sales revenues increased by 
$27,236 or 5.08% and revenues from research and development contracts 
increased by $112,392 or 180.82% for the same periods.

                                       7


<PAGE>

     Total revenues increased by $372,120 or 81.32% from the three months 
ended June 30, 1995 compared to the three months ended June 30, 1996.  Rental 
revenues increased by $67,717 or 28.59%; sales revenues increased by $192,011 
or 121.06% and revenues from research and development contracts increased by 
$112,392 or 180.82% for the same period.

     The increase in rental revenues is reflective of the Company's expanded 
base of units being rented which is currently 41, an increase from the 26 
units under rent at June 30, 1995. It should further be noted that the 
Company's backlog for rental units has increased to 13 units from 7 units at 
June 30, 1995.  The increase in sales revenues was attributable to an 
increase in sales of the Company's robotic components to a variety of 
universities around the globe.  Sales of HelpMate robots are comparable for 
the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.  The increase in research and 
development contract revenues is primarily attributable to the completed 
contract for the  first phase of a NASA sponsored program entitled "Two 
Armed, Mobile, Sensate Research Robot."

COST OF REVENUES

     Cost of revenues increased by $145,388 or 19.57% from the six months 
ended June 30, 1995 compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996.  Cost of 
revenues increased by $248,861 or 73.72% from the three months ended June 30, 
1995 compared to the three months ended June 30, 1996.  The increase in cost 
of revenues generally reflects the increase in the revenues discussed above. 

GROSS PROFIT

     Gross profit increased by 26.41% or $84,943 from the six months ended 
June 30, 1995 compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996. Gross profit 
increased by 102.7% or $123,259 from the three months ended June 30, 1995 
compared to the three months ended June 30, 1996.  The increase is gross 
profit dollars reflects the increase in revenues discussed above.  Further, 
gross profit as a percentage of sales increased by 3.9% to 31.4% in the six 
months ended June 30, 1996 from the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 
increased by 11.78% to 29.32% in the three months ended June 30, 1996 from 
the three months ended June 30, 1995.  The increase in gross profit as a 
percentage of sales is reflective of the Company's on going strategy to 
reduce costs and only accept research and development contracts that are 
fully funded.  

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses increased by $465,542 or 
32.62% from the six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to the six months 
ended June 30, 1996. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses increased 
by $329,544 or 49.3% from the three months ended June 30, 1995 compared to 
the three months ended June 30, 1996.  The increase reflects an increase in 
staffing (including the hiring of five sales executives) and an increase in 
marketing and public relations activity associated with promoting the 
HelpMate robot.  In addition, the Company also incurred costs required to 
enhance the Company's HelpMate robotics systems through product improvement 
and new feature development.

INTEREST EXPENSE

     Interest expense decreased by $25,825 or 22.28% from the six months 
ended June 30, 1995 compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996.  Interest 
expense decreased by $29,062 or 50.26% from the three months ended June 30, 
1995 compared to the three months ended June 30, 1996.   The decrease in 
interest expense reflects interest income earned on the proceeds from the 
Company's initial public offering offset by interest expense related to loans 
received  by the Company in the latter half of 1995. Such declines are not 
expected to continue as the Company's use of cash will decrease the amount of 
interest income earned.

LOSSES

     The Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $1,640,428 
and $1,357,742 for each of the six month periods ending June 30, 1996 and 
June 30, 1995, respectively and incurred a net loss from continuing 
operations of $841,095 and $747,735 for each of the three month periods 
ending June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995, respectively.  These losses were 
sustained primarily because the Company has not achieved the volume of sales 
and rentals of HelpMates required to cover the overhead expenses associated 
with the commercialization of its HelpMate systems and due to the increase in 
staffing and sales and marketing expenses noted above. The Company 
anticipates that such losses will continue until the volume of sales and 
rentals of HelpMates required to cover the overhead expenses is achieved.  
The overall profitability of the Company is highly dependent upon its mix of 
robot rentals and robot sales. 

EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Earnings per share of common stock for the six months ended June 30, 
1996 and 1995 was ($0.31) and ($1.07), respectively. Earnings per share of 
common stock for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 was ($0.13) 
and ($.58), respectively.  The reduction in the net loss per share is 
attributable to the increase in number of shares outstanding from the 
aforementioned initial public offering.  Earnings per common share is 
computed using the treasury stock method based on the weighted average number 
of common shares and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the 
period, as adjusted retroactively for the aforementioned stock split.   
Shares from the assumed exercise of options and warrants granted by the 
Company and shares issuable in  connection with the Company's convertible 
preferred stock have been included in the computations of earnings per share 
for all periods unless their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.  However, for 
purposes of computing net loss per share, options and warrants granted by the 
Company during the 12 months preceding the initial public offering date, 
including those shares issuable in connection with the anti-dilution 
provisions of certain warrant agreements have been included in the 
calculation of common stock and common stock equivalent shares outstanding as 
if they were outstanding for all periods presented using the treasury stock 
method and the public offering price of $6.25 per unit or $3.00 per share and 
$0.25 per warrant.

     Supplemental net loss per share of common stock for the six months ended 
June 30, 1996 was ($0.28).  Supplemental net loss per share of common stock 
is computed using the if-converted method based on the pro forma weighted 
average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalent as 
defined above, and convertible preferred shares that were converted into 
common stock on a 1-4.55 basis upon the closing of the initial public 
offering, adjusted retroactively for the aforementioned stock split.  Net 
loss per share used in the supplemental loss per share calculation was 
decreased for dividend requirements on preferred shares. 

EARNINGS BEFORE INTEREST, TAXES, DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION ("EBITDA")

     EBITDA decreased by $276,977 or 29.19% from the six months ended June 
30, 1995 compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996 to ($1,225,932). 
EBITDA decreased by $67,933 or 11.56% from the three months ended June 30, 
1995 compared to the three months ended June 30, 1996 to ($655,623). This 
decrease is reflective the Company's increase in selling, general and 
administrative costs noted above.  

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Prior to the Company's initial public offering, the Company historically 
had been dependent upon loans from its principal securityholders and their 
affiliates, private placements of its debt and equity securities, and  
certain financing transactions with Hospital Transporters Limited Partnership 
("Transporters") (an entity in which the Company's Chairman and President are 
limited partners) and Center Capital Corporation ("CCC")  pursuant to which 
the Company assigned the revenue stream to certain HelpMate robots and 
assigned the existing rental agreements related thereto in exchange for lump 
sum payments to the Company to finance its working capital requirements.

                                       9


<PAGE>

     The Company believes the proceeds of its initial public offering, 
together with the proceeds from the interim loans provided by the Selling 
Bridge Securityholders and anticipated revenues from operations will be 
sufficient to satisfy the Company's contemplated cash requirements into early 
1997. However, the Company's actual results may differ, as a result of among 
other things,  the Company's cash requirements being highly dependent upon 
the Company's mix of robot rentals and robot sales  (i.e., more robot rentals 
than sales could result in the Company requiring cash at a date earlier than 
anticipated).  To date, the Company's mix of robot rentals and robot sales 
has been significantly weighted to the rental side, resulting in a slower 
replenishment of cash than originally anticipated.   This is attributable to 
Bell & Howell not meeting its expectations of placing units (As noted above 
the Company is evaluating its relationship with Bell & Howell);  Otis 
Elevator reducing its order forecast from 26 to 6 units for 1996 and a slight 
(three month) delay from original expectations, in establishing an effective 
sales and marketing organization. The Company believes that it can, as it has 
done in the past, enter into financing transactions whereby the Company's 
rental agreements could be transferred in exchange for lump sum payments 
providing it with the necessary capital.   The Company currently has no such 
arrangements with respect to, or sources of future financing, nor is there 
any assurance that additional financing will be available to the Company. 

     It should further be noted that in connection with the Company's initial 
public offering, 1,449,918 warrants were issued, which entitles the holder of 
said warrant to purchase one share of commons stock at $5.75 per share until 
January 21, 2001.  Each warrant is redeemable by the Company for $0.01 per 
Warrant upon thirty days written notice, provided that the average closing 
bid price of the Company's common stock is $7.00 or more per share for ten 
consecutive trading days.  The average closing bid price of the Company's 
common stock on August 2, 1996 was $2.00.

     The Company's liquidity is also affected by its royalty obligations to 
Connecticut Innovations, Incorporated ("CII"). Pursuant to its original 
agreements with CII, the Company must pay royalties aggregating $2,205,000 to 
CII.  As of June 30 1996, the Company had paid approximately $234,000 in such 
royalties to CII. In January 1996, the Company and CII agreed that during the 
two-year period commencing on the closing of the Company's initial public 
offering , the obligation to pay a royalty at a rate of five percent of sales 
of sponsored products would be reduced so that the payment with respect 
thereto would not exceed the greater of (i) one and one-half percent of the 
net sales of sponsored products or (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the Company's 
pre-tax profits (but in no event would such payment be more than five percent 
of net sales of sponsored products). As consideration for the reduction, the 
Company received a credit of $300,000 against the $2,205,000 royalty 
obligation and issued to CII 50,000 shares of common stock and a warrant to 
purchase 25,000 additional shares exercisable at $5.75 per share. In 
addition, the Company, at its option, may extend the period permitting 
reduced royalty payments for an additional two years and receive another 
$300,000 credit by issuing to CII an additional 50,000 shares of common stock 
and another warrant to purchase 25,000 additional shares exercisable at $5.75 
per share.   Further, the Company must continue to pay royalties for a period 
equal to the period of time taken to satisfy this $2,205,000 royalty 
obligation, except that the royalty rate on the Company's net sales of 
sponsored products shall be reduced to one half of one percent during such 
period.  

     For the foreseeable future, the Company does not anticipate paying 
dividends and the Company anticipates retaining any earnings to fund its 
operations. Moreover, the ability of the Company to pay dividends is subject 
to contractual restrictions through September 2001. Specifically, during that 
period, the Company may not, unless otherwise approved by one of its lenders, 
directly or indirectly declare, order, pay or reserve any sum or property for 
the payment of any dividend or other distribution on the Company's capital 
stock until such time as the Company has achieved a net profit for three 
consecutive fiscal quarters.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES

     The Company completed an initial public offering on January 31, 1996 of 
1,449,918 units with each unit consisting of two shares of common stock, no 
par value per share, and one redeemable common stock purchase warrant, 
whereby 1,252,996 units were sold by the Company and 196,922 units were sold 
by certain lenders who provided interim financing to the Company (the 
"Selling Bridge Securityholders"). In connection with the  aforementioned 
initial public offering, the Company's common stock split at a rate of 
4.93599 to 1, all of the Company's preferred stock was converted into common 
stock,  a $120,000 obligation to the Company's Chairman was converted into 
19,200 Units, 50,000 shares of common stock were issued in connection with 
the January 1996 amendment to the Company's 1987 Development Contract with 
Connecticut Innovations, Incorporated,  the Company's treasury stock was 
canceled and the 34,552 shares of common stock owned by Westinghouse Electric 
Corporation were redeemed.

     The Company's Units, Common Stock and warrants were quoted on the 
NASDAQ - Small Cap Market System and listed on The Philadelphia Stock 
Exchange  on January 31, 1996 and February 9, 1996, respectively.  Effective 
April 8, 1996, the Units were no longer quoted on the NASDAQ - Small Cap 
Market System but are quoted on the NASDAQ - Bulletin Board System.  

     The Company has not paid nor does it anticipate paying cash dividends on 
the Common Stock in the foreseeable future since it currently intends to 
retain any earnings for use in its business. In addition, in connection with 
certain financing provided to the Company by Connecticut Innovations, 
Incorporated ("CII") in June 1995 and in September 1995, the Company agreed 
that for a period of six years, it would not directly or indirectly declare, 
order, pay or reserve any sum or property for the payment of any dividend or 
other distribution on the Company's capital stock until such time as the 
Company has achieved a net profit for three consecutive fiscal quarters.
