FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS:

         Except for the historical information contained in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q, certain matters discussed herein, including (without
limitation), under Part I, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations, under Part I, Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures About Market Risk and under Part II, Legal Proceedings, contain
forward-looking statements, as that term is defined in the Private Securities
Reform Act of 1995 about Sabratek. Further, this Report on Form 10-Q contains
certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21 E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, about Sabratek. Although Sabratek
believes that, in making any such statements, its expectations are based on
reasonable assumptions, any such statement may be influenced by factors that
could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those
projected. When used in this document, the words anticipates, believes, expects,
intends, plans and similar expressions as they relate to Sabratek or its
management are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties and
speak only as of the date of this Report on Form 10-Q. Important facts that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking
statements, certain of which are beyond the control of Sabratek, include:
changes in the medical device and drug regulatory environment; delays or
difficulties in introducing new products; the success of Sabratek's research and
development; the impact of general economic conditions in the U.S. and in other
countries in which Sabratek currently does business; industry conditions,
including competition, product and raw material prices; fluctuations in exchange
rates and currency values; capital expenditure requirements; legislative or
regulatory requirements or approvals; interest rates; access to capital markets;
the timing of and value received in connection with asset or corporate
acquisitions; and obtaining required approvals, if any, of debt holders or
stockholders. The actual results, performance or achievement by Sabratek could
differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking
statements and, accordingly, no assurances can be given that any of the events
anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any
of them do so, what impact they will have on the results of operations and
financial condition of Sabratek.

         During the three month period ended March 31, 1999, the Company issued
2,194 shares, in aggregate, of common stock upon the exercise of stock options
pursuant to the Sabratek Corporation Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Option Plan
(the "Plan"). The option exercises resulted in proceeds to the Company of
$23,178, in aggregate. In addition, 5,222 shares of common stock were issued
pursuant to the Company's Stock Purchase Plan resulting in aggregate proceeds of
$72,690.

         Options for a total of 38,550 shares of common stock were granted
during the three month period pursuant to the Plan at an exercise price equal to
the fair market value on the date of grant. The stock options vest over a
multi-year period.

ITEM 2.
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


OVERVIEW

         Sabratek's founding vision and strategic focus is the creation of a
virtual hospital room for the alternate-site health care market. From its
inception in 1989 through mid-1992, Sabratek was in its development stage and
engaged primarily in research and development, product engineering and
activities related to obtaining clearance from the FDA for its first product,
the 3030 Stationary Pump. Sabratek has six years of operating history and
experienced significant operating losses from its inception through mid-1996.
Upon receiving FDA clearance for the 3030 Stationary Pump in mid-1992, Sabratek
focused its efforts on creating a domestic and international sales and marketing
network, as well as a manufacturing capability, to assist in the distribution of
its first product to the alternate-site health care market. Concurrent with
these sales and marketing activities, Sabratek continued to fund the research,
development and regulatory clearance activities of other device and software
products.

         Sabratek commercially launched the 6060 Ambulatory Pump and related
disposable supplies in late 1995 and both MediVIEW(TM) and the PumpMaster(TM) in
late 1996. Since then, Sabratek has continued its sales and marketing activities
domestically and internationally for the distribution of its products and
continued to fund the research and development of additional products. In
February, 1997, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of Rocap, Inc.
which produces pre-filled flush syringes. In July, 1998, Sabratek acquired CMS
Healthcare, Inc., a physician-based utilization review services provider. In
addition, July 1998 the Company derives revenues from the servicing of products,
sale of accessories, sale of extended warranties and consulting services.

         Sabratek sells its products both directly to alternate-site and
acute-care providers, as well as to third-party distributors. Distributors and
other customers may purchase several months of inventory at any one time which
may cause fluctuations in quarterly revenues. Sabratek also markets and sells
its products internationally and, as a result, its revenues may be affected by
the strength of the U.S. dollar compared to other currencies. Failure to obtain
regulatory approval for the distribution of new products domestically or in
international markets, or adverse regulatory changes, may also affect the
revenues of the Company.

         In November 1998, Sabratek announced that it had suspended distribution
of its Rocap pre-filled flush syringe product line. Sabratek also announced that
it would submit new 510(k) applications to the FDA for the Rocap pre-filled
flush syringe products and that new management was in place at Rocap for both
operations and regulatory affairs. Sabratek has submitted new 510(k)
applications but they have not been approved by the FDA. The suspension had a
material adverse affect on revenues and operating results for the first quarter
of 1999. Sabratek has incurred ongoing expenses necessary to maintain the Rocap
facilities in the event it receives approval of the 510(k) applications. Such
ongoing expenses may continue to adversely affect Sabratek's financial condition
and operating results in future periods.

         Sabratek has entered into a number of strategic partnerships, including
Unitron and GDS, Collaborations in Healthcare and HealthMagic, which provide
components of the virtual hospital room. Management intends to pursue additional
acquisition and partnering opportunities in order to further accelerate the
development of the virtual hospital room.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998

         Net sales. Net sales decreased $1.6 million to $13.6 million for the
three month period ended March 31, 1999 as compared to $15.2 million for the
three month period ended March 31, 1998, a decrease of 10%. The decrease for the
three month period is attributable to the suspension of distribution of the
Rocap product line which began in November, 1998. The decrease was partially
offset by increases from other revenue sources including; incremental unit sales
volume of the 3030 Stationary Pump and 6060 Ambulatory Pump and their respective
disposables, additional sales of the MediVIEW(TM) and PumpMaster(TM) products,
increased revenues generated from product licensing and


                                      -8-

<PAGE>   9

consulting services, and an increase in unit sales volume of certain licensed
products from GDS Technology, Inc.

         Cost of Sales. Cost of sales decreased $1.2 million to $5.5 million for
the three month period ended March 31, 1999 as compared to $6.7 million for the
three month period ended March 31, 1998, a decrease of 19%. The decrease for the
three month period is primarily attributable the absence of direct product costs
associated with the Rocap product line due to the suspension of distribution.
The decrease was partially offset by an increase in amortization and period
costs relating to the expansion of production capacity for products sold during
the three month period ended March 31, 1999.

         Gross Margin. Gross margin decreased $300,000 to $8.1 million for the
three month period ended March 31, 1999 as compared to $8.4 million for the
three month period ended March 31, 1998, a decrease of 4%. The decrease for the
three month period ended March 31, 1999 was due to the absence of gross margin
contribution from the Rocap product line. Gross margin as a percent of sales
increased to 60% for the three month period ended March 31, 1999, as compared to
56% for the three month period ended March 31, 1998. The increase in percentage
is attributable to the absence of Rocap product sales during the three month
period ended March 31, 1999 which typically generate a lower average gross
margin percentage than products sold during the period.

         Selling General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $700,000 to $6.4 million for the three month
period ended March 31, 1999 as compared to $5.7 million for the three month
period ended March 31, 1998, an increase of 13%. The increase for the three
month period is due primarily to the expansion of the direct sales force and
clinical support staff and associated travel, as well as the addition of
administrative and management personnel. Included in selling, general and
administrative expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 1999 was $1.6
million in ongoing costs relating to maintaining a state of readiness of the
Rocap facilities. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of
sales increased to 47% for the three month period ended March 31, 1999 as
compared to 37% for the three month period ended March 31, 1998.

         Operating Income. Operating income decreased $1.1 million to $1.7
million for the three month period ended March 31, 1999 as compared to $2.8
million for the three month period ended March 31, 1998, a decrease of 38%.
Operating income as a percent of sales decreased to 13% for the three month
period ended March 31, 1999 as compared to 18% for the three month period ended
March 31, 1998. The decrease in operating income was due primarily to the
absence of sales and gross margin from the Rocap product line and the increase
in selling, general and administrative expenses referred to above, during the
three month period ended March 31, 1999.

         Interest Income. Interest income increased $500,000 to $700,000 for the
three month period ended March 31, 1999 as compared to $200,000 for the three
month period ended March 31, 1998, an increase of 237%. The increase is
attributable to a higher average amount of cash available for investment as
compared to that of the comparative period. Sabratek completed the sale of 6%
convertible notes in April, 1998 which resulted in net proceeds of approximately
$82.1 million.

         Interest Expense. Interest expense increased to $1.3 million for the
three month period ended March 31, 1999 as compared to $5,000 for the three
month period ended March 31, 1998. The increase for the three month period is
attributable to the sale of 6% convertible notes in April, 1998, for which
interest expense is recorded at a rate of $1.3 million per full fiscal quarter.
Interest expense would be reduced proportionately for any notes converted into
common stock.

         Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes decreased
$600,000 to $400,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1999 as compared
to $1.0 million for the three month period ended March 31, 1998, a decrease of
56%. The provision for income taxes for the three month period ended March 31,
1999 reflects an estimated 38% effective annual tax rate, after adjusting for
allowable net operating loss carryforwards, as compared to an estimated 34%
effective annual tax rate for the three month period ended March 31, 1998.
Utilization of net operating carryforwards depends on future earnings and will
be subject to annual limitations as a result of changes that occurred in
Sabratek's ownership in prior years.

         Net Income. Net income decreased $1.3 million to $726,000 for the three
month period ended March 31, 



                                      -9-
<PAGE>   10

1999 as compared to $2.0 million for the three month period ended March 31,
1998, a decrease of 63%. The decrease in net income was due primarily to the
absence of sales and gross margin from the Rocap product line and the increase
in selling, general and administrative expenses referred to above, during the
three month period ended March 31, 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         In April, 1998, the Sabratek completed an institutional private
placement of 6% Convertible Notes in an aggregate principal amount of
$85,000,000 maturing in 2005. The interest is fixed and is payable
semi-annually. The notes are convertible into Sabratek's common stock at a
conversion price of $40.46 anytime at the option of the noteholders. Sabratek
may redeem the notes at anytime after April 18, 2001. Net proceeds were
approximately $82.1 million and such proceeds were used to purchase investment
grade securities.

         As of March 31, 1999, Sabratek had approximately $40.9 million in cash,
cash equivalents, and investments in marketable securities, and had net working
capital of approximately $70.2 million. During the three month period ended
September 30, 1998, approximately $19.3 million was used to purchase outstanding
common stock of Sabratek pursuant to a repurchase program approved by the
Company's Board of Directors. In April, 1999, Sabratek entered into a one-year
credit agreement with a financial institution with up to $8.0 million of
available borrowing. As of this date, no borrowing had occurred under the credit
agreement.

         The Sabratek used cash in its operations of approximately $8.0 million
for the three month period ended March 31, 1999. Cash used in operations is
primarily attributable to reduced cash receipts resulting from extended payment
terms offered to specific international and domestic customers. Payment terms
with customers range from net 30 days to more than one year in some cases.

         During the third quarter of 1997, Sabratek entered into strategic
partnerships with Unitron and GDS and has paid cash license fees of $16.4
million as of March 31, 1999, in aggregate. In addition, should the Company
decide to exercise its right to acquire either Unitron or GDS, such acquisitions
could require additional outlays of cash. In November, 1998, Sabratek entered
into a Software Licensing and Marketing Agreement with HealthMagic, Inc. whereby
Sabratek paid license fees of $10.0 million.

         In October, 1998, Sabratek entered into a Standby Senior Credit
Facility with Unitron whereby Sabratek, at its sole discretion, may lend up to
$10.0 million at an interest rate of 8% per annum. As of March 31, 1999,
Sabratek had advanced $8.1 million. The facility matures on October 15, 2003.

         In November, 1998, Sabratek entered into a Standby Senior Credit
Facility with Collaborations in Healthcare, LLC whereby Sabratek may lend up to
$4.0 million at an interest rate of 8% per annum. As of March 31, 1999, Sabratek
had advanced $2.7 million. The facility matures on November 23, 2001.
Simultaneously, the parties entered into a Unit Option Agreement whereby
Sabratek has the right to acquire Collaborations in Healthcare, LLC. If such
right is exercised, the acquisition may require additional outlays of cash.

         In September, 1997, Sabratek initiated a hedging program through the
use of forward contracts to minimize foreign currency fluctuation exposure. As
of March 31, 1999, the aggregate U.S. dollar amount of the contracts is
approximately $560,000 and such contracts expire at various dates through July,
1999.

         Sabratek has the right to acquire the assets or stock of Unitron, GDS,
and Collaborations in Healthcare, LLC. Although it is not obligated to do so,
Sabratek may use cash to consummate such acquisitions. If Sabratek uses its cash
reserves to consummate these or other acquisitions currently unidentified or
under preliminary consideration it will materially reduce its liquidity. 
Although Sabratek cannot predict the effect of the uncertainties listed below,
Sabratek does not currently expect the use of its cash reserves in connection
with acquisitions to have an adverse affect on the results of its operations.

         In March, 1999, Sabratek entered into a letter of intent to purchase
the LifeWatch, Inc. subsidiary of privately held Ralin Medical, Inc. LifeWatch,
Inc. provides cardiac monitoring and diagnostic services. The purchase is
subject 



                                      -10-
<PAGE>   11

to certain conditions including approval by Sabratek's Board of Directors, 
completion of due diligence, and consummation of a definitive purchase 
agreement. The purchase price is expected to be approximately $28.0 million,
payable in a combination of cash and Sabratek common stock. Cash used in this
transaction will materially reduce Sabratek's liquidity.

         Future liquidity and capital resources could be adversely influenced by
certain factors, including the Company's dependence on a relatively new customer
base, regulatory or legislative changes pertaining to health care, product
liability exposure regarding the delivery of medication, dependence on future
product development, continued disruption of distribution of the Rocap product
line, pending litigation, and others. There can be no assurance that Sabratek
will not require additional financing and, in the future, seek additional funds
through bank facilities, debt or equity offerings and to the extent such
additional financing is not available, the Company could suffer material adverse
affects to its financial condition and the results of its operations.


YEAR 2000 STATUS

         Since their inception, all of Sabratek's products, including software,
have been developed with consideration for the millennium change. Additionally,
the products have undergone specific year 2000 date testing to verify and
validate compliance. Although Sabratek knows of no problems in this regard, due
to the ability of certain of Sabratek's products to interact with other devices
or software, Sabratek can give no assurance that the performance of its products
could not be directly and indirectly affected by non-compliant products of a
third party.

         Sabratek has made inquiry of its material strategic partners and has
received representation that the devices and software that Sabratek currently
licenses from third parties have been determined to be year 2000 compliant.
Sabratek continues the process of verifying that its suppliers and other
electronically date sensitive equipment will not experience year 2000 problems
that could have a material adverse affect on Sabratek. The cost to Sabratek to
assess and prepare for the year 2000 is estimated to be less than $100,000.

         Sabratek has assessed its systems and believes them to be year 2000
compliant. Sabratek will continue to assess its year 2000 exposure, including
systems of third parties on which Sabratek relies. If Sabratek's management
becomes aware of non-compliant systems that will adversely affect Sabratek or
its products, it will develop an action plan and assess the resources necessary
to resolve such problem.


ITEM 3.


QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in Sabratek's market risk during the three
month period ended March 31, 1999. For additional information refer to Item 7A
in Sabratek's Annual Report in form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.

                                     PART II
                                OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         On February 5, 1997, SIMS Deltec filed a complaint in the United States
District Court for the District of Minnesota alleging that Sabratek's
manufacture, use and/or sale of the MediVIEW(TM) software in conjunction with
its infusion pumps infringes on a patent entitled "Systems and Methods of
Communicating with Ambulatory Medical Devices Such as Drug Delivery Devices"
previously issued to SIMS Deltec. Subsequently, SIMS Deltec filed other
pleadings that raised additional claims against Sabratek and three of its
employees including trade secret misappropriation, unfair competition and
interference with SIMS Deltec's customers. SIMS Deltec seeks injunctive relief,
unspecified monetary damages and costs. In addition, SIMS Deltec filed for a
preliminary injunction against Sabratek seeking to prevent on a preliminary
basis Sabratek's manufacture and sale of the MediVIEW(TM) system. On August 4,
1997, the District Court denied the motion for preliminary injunction.
Additionally, one of the claims against a Sabratek employee has been dismissed
with prejudice. Sabratek and the individual defendants intend to vigorously
defend against the allegations made by SIMS Deltec. Protracted litigation or an
adverse outcome in this matter could have a material adverse impact on
Sabratek's business, financial condition and results of operations.

         In addition, on June 27, 1997, Sabratek filed a complaint against SIMS
Deltec which is currently pending in the United States District Court for the
District of Minnesota alleging that SIMS Deltec employees have made
misstatements about Sabratek's products. Sabratek has stated claims under the
Federal Lanham Act to stop SIMS Deltec's improper disparagement and has
requested preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, monetary damages and
costs. On July 15, 1998, the United States District Court for the District of
Minnesota stayed all proceedings in the action until August 2, 1999.

         Sabratek was served with a complaint of January 27, 1999, alleging that
Sabratek and seven officers and former officers violated Sections 10(b) (and
Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. The complaint alleges that defendants issued a series of false and
misleading statements concerning Sabratek's business, its products and its
prospects for future profitability.

         The complaint seeks to recover damages on behalf of all persons who
purchased shares of Sabratek's common stock between January 13, 1998 and
November 24, 1998, although no court has determined that these persons
constitute a proper class. The complaint was filed in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of Illinois (Chu v. Sabratek Corporation, et
al., Docket No. 99 C 0351). On April 28, 1999, the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Illinois appointed Millberg Weiss Bershard & Lerach
as lead counsel for the plaintiffs in the action. Neither Sabratek nor the
individual defendants have yet responded to the complaint, but all parties
intend to vigorously defend against the allegations contained in the complaint.
Protracted litigation or an adverse outcome in this matter could have a material
adverse impact on Sabratek's business, financial position and results of
operations.

         Sabratek is also a party to routine litigation in the ordinary course
of business, none of which, if determined adversely to Sabratek, would
individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on Sabratek.

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES

         During the three month period ended March 31, 1999, Sabratek issued no
securities without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.



ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

         In May, 1999, Sabratek announced that it had appointed Mr. John Reilly
as Senior Vice President and Chief 



                                      -12-

position to pursue personal business interests.
