                                  (UNAUDITED)


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared
by the Company without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").  Certain information and
footnote disclosures, normally included in the financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed
or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations;  nevertheless, the
management of the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading.  These condensed financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Company's prospectus dated February 14, 1996, for
the year ended December 31, 1995 filed with the SEC in February 1996.  In the
opinion of management, the condensed financial statements included herein
reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of
the Company as of March 31, 1996, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1996.  The
results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
the results of operations for the full year.

2. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

Net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding.  For the three-month
periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1996 weighted average common and common
equivalent shares include common shares and stock options using the treasury
stock method and the assumed conversion of all outstanding shares of preferred
stock into shares of common stock.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

         The Company provides communication networks that acquire, interpret
and distribute real-time physiologic data generated by point-of-care patient
monitors located throughout a healthcare facility.  The Company sells
facility-wide networks directly to acute care hospitals and integrated health
delivery networks (IHDNs).  In addition, the Company sells certain components,
monitoring systems, clinical analysis and display software and wireless
communications components to OEM customers for use in their departmental
monitoring products.

         Revenues from sales of facility-wide networks are recognized upon
shipment.  The sales cycle for facility-wide networks has typically been from
nine to 18 months.  The Company has experienced seasonal variations in sales of
its facility-wide networks, with sales in the first quarter being lower than
the preceding fourth quarter's sales due to customer budget cycles and sales
remaining relatively flat during the third quarter.  Furthermore, a large
percentage of a particular quarter's shipments of facility-wide networks have
historically been booked in the last weeks of the quarter.

         Revenues from sales of departmental products are recognized upon
shipment.  The selling cycle for departmental products varies depending upon
product mix and the extent to which the Company develops customized operating
software for a particular OEM customer.

         The Company's revenues have been derived increasingly from direct
sales of its facility-wide networks.  The Company plans to increase
expenditures in order to fund a larger direct sales and marketing staff and
greater levels of research and development in 1996 as part of its increased
focus on sales of facility-wide networks.  During 1995, the Company increased
the size of its direct sales force from nine to 18 full-time sales persons and
increased the size of its research and development staff from 26 to 34 persons.
The Company intends to continue to increase the size of its direct sales force
at approximately the same rate during 1996 and also anticipates increasing its
research and development expenditures significantly in 1996 to develop new
products and further enhancements to its facility-wide networks.  Although the
Company believes that investments in such expenditures will improve long-term
financial results, operating and net income as a percentage of revenues
decreased in 1995 as compared to 1994, and operating and net income for 1996
are expected to be lower in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenues
than achieved in 1995.  If such increased direct sales efforts and research and
development do not ultimately result in an increase in revenues, there would be
a material adverse effect on the Company's long-term business, operating
results and financial condition.

         In the first quarter of 1996 VitalCom Inc. expanded its facility-wide
network with the introduction and shipment of OpenNet(TM), an application that
integrates multi-parameter third-party monitoring equipment.  OpenNet allows
the hospital to network existing, disparate equipment to create one integrated
system.  OpenNet was introduced with initial connections to bedside patient
monitoring equipment from three leading manufacturers:  Datascope Corporation,
Johnson & Johnson Medical Inc. and Protocol Systems, Inc.

         To date the Company has not capitalized software development expenses.
However, the development of new products or the enhancement of existing
products may require capitalization of such expenses in the future.

Total Revenues.  Total revenues consist of revenue from sales of facility-wide
networks and departmental products, together with fees for installation and
servicing of products. Total revenues for the first quarter increased to
$5,969,106 up from $4,474,492 for the same period in 1995.   Revenues in the
first quarter were up 33% from the same period in 1995, reflecting a 53%
increase in VitalCom's sales of facility-wide network systems and an 18%
increase in departmental products from the comparable period a year ago.
Facility-wide networks sales represented 49.6% of the quarterly revenues
compared to 43.2% for the same quarter a year ago.

Gross Margins.  Cost of goods sold generally includes material, direct labor,
overhead and, for facility-wide networks, installation expenses.  Gross profit
as a percentage of revenue in the first quarter of 1996 was 57.6%, up from
53.8% in the comparable quarter a year ago.  Cost of goods sold in the first
quarter of 1995 included $153,333 in amortization of developed technology that
was fully amortized by December 31, 1995; therefore the cost of goods sold for
the first quarter of 1996 is relatively lower because it included no such
amortization.

Sales and Marketing expenses.  Sales and marketing expenses include payroll,
commissions and related costs attributable to direct and OEM sales and
marketing personnel, travel and entertainment expenses, and other promotional
expenses.  Sales and marketing expenses of $2,106,225 were 35.3% of revenues in
the first quarter of 1996 compared to $1,180,813 or 26.4% of revenues in the
comparable period a year ago.  Sales and marketing increases reflect doubling
of the size of the Company's direct sales force in 1995 as well as continued
increases in selling and marketing investments in 1996.

Research and Development expenses.  Research and development expenses include
payroll and related costs attributable to research and development personnel,
prototyping expenses and other costs.  Research and development expenses
increased to $918,343 or 15.4% of revenues, up from $554,591, or 12.4% of
revenues for the same period in 1995.  Research and development increases are
related to the Company's strategy to increase these expenditures significantly
in 1996 to develop new products and further enhance its facility-wide networks.
The Company previously announced that it began shipping OpenNet to its hospital
customers in March 1996.  The OpenNet application permits VitalCom networks to
connect to patient monitoring equipment from various manufacturers.

General and Administrative expenses.  General and administrative expense
includes accounting, finance, MIS, human resources, general administration,
executive officers and professional fee expenses.  General and administrative
expenses were $517,763, or 8.7% of revenues, as compared to $325,879, or 7.3%
of revenues, for the same period in 1995.  The increase was attributable to
professional services and costs associated with strategic staffing to
accommodate the Company's growth.

Other Income (Expense), net.  Other income (expense), net consists primarily of
interest payments made in respect to outstanding indebtedness and interest
income from short term investments.  Other income (expense) improved from
($31,358) for the first quarter of 1995 to $107,414 for the first quarter of
1996 due to the payoff the five-year term debt, as well as interest income
attributable to the proceeds of the initial public offering.

Effective Tax Rate.  The effective rate used for the provision for taxes is
43.5%, consisting of a federal income tax rate of 33.8%, combined with a
weighted average state income tax rate of 9.7%.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


         In February, 1996, the Company raised net proceeds of approximately
$25.7 million through an initial public offering (IPO) of 2,300,000 shares of
Common Stock at $12.50 per share.

         At March 31, 1996, the Company had a revolving line of credit
agreement with a commercial bank under which it may borrow up to $1.0 million
at the bank's prime rate plus 0.5%.  The agreement expires in May 1996 and is
collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets.  No borrowings
were outstanding under the agreement at March 31, 1996.  At December 31, 1995
the Company had a five-year term loan of $1.5 million payable in monthly
installments through December, 1998 with interest payable at the rate of prime
plus 2.5% (through November 30, 1995) or prime plus 3% (after December 1,
1995). This loan was repaid with a portion of the proceeds of the initial
public offering in February, 1996.

         In the quarter ending March 31, 1996, the Company generated $502,635
from operating activities compared to using approximately $11,000 from
operating activities in the same quarter of 1995. The Company generated cash
through collections on accounts receivable which was used in targeted inventory
procurement as well as reducing accrued liabilities.

         The Company's principal commitments at March 31, 1996 consisted of a
lease on its office and manufacturing facility, and a long-term lease on its
telephone system.  Both obligations combined represent a expenditure of
approximately $31,500 per month.

         The Company believes that existing cash resources, including cash
flows from operations, if any, and line of credit facilities will be sufficient
to fund the Company's operations for at least the next twelve months.
