                                   (Unaudited)


NOTE 1.  MANAGEMENT ADJUSTMENTS

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles
have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these financial  statements
be read in conjunction with the Registrant's September 30, 1996 Form 10-KSB. The
results of operations  for the periods ended  December 31, 1996 and December 31,
1995 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full years.

     The  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  and other  information  furnished
herein  reflect all  adjustments  which are, in the opinion of management of the
Registrant,  necessary  for a fair  presentation  of the  results of the interim
periods covered by this report.  Adjustments to the financial statements were of
a normal recurring nature.


Note 2.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

     For the three  months ended  December  31, 1996 and 1995,  both primary and
fully-diluted  earnings  per share  are  calculated  based  upon  7,308,995  and
6,879,511,  respectively,  average common shares  outstanding.  Shares  issuable
under common stock options were excluded  from the  computation  of earnings per
share  because the effect was deemed to be  anti-dilutive.  At December 31, 1996
and 1995,  the  Registrant  had 1,057,850 and  1,251,250,  respectively,  vested
common  stock  options  outstanding.  Total  common  stock  options  outstanding
(including  both vested and unvested)  were  1,759,969 and 1,251,250 at December
31, 1996 and 1995 respectively.


NOTE 3.  INCOME TAXES

     Under the  provisions of the Internal  Revenue  Code,  the  Registrant  has
available  net  operating   loss  and  research  and   development   tax  credit
carryforwards of  approximately  $16,300,000 and $170,000,  respectively,  which
expire in varying amounts from 1997 through 2011.

     The net  operating  loss and  business tax credit  carryforwards  described
above give rise to a deferred tax asset of approximately $6,600,000.  This asset
is recorded  net of a  valuation  allowance  of the same  amount.  Therefore  no
amounts are reflected in the accompanying balance sheet.

NOTE 4.  INVENTORIES

     Inventories consist of the following at December 31, 1996 and September 30,
1996:

                                          ---------            ---------

                                          =========            =========


At December  31, 1996 and  September  30,  1996,  respectively,  inventories  of
$450,000 are classified as a long term asset in the accompanying balance sheets.
This estimate was determined by considering both historical and projected levels
of sales for  goods  included  in  inventories.  A  substantial  portion  of raw
materials is expected to be utilized for repairs of equipment sold over the past
several  years.  Management  believes that it may take up to five years to fully
utilize this portion of the Company's  inventories  based upon current levels of
repairs and expected production levels of new products.

ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition and
         Results of Operations.

     As discussed in Note 2 to the audited financial  statements as of September
30, 1996,  (see the  Registrant's  form 10-KSB dated  September 30, 1996 and the
accompanying audited financial  statements),  the Company has suffered recurring
losses and negative cash flows from operations.  This raises  substantial  doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's  plans
in  regard  to  these  matters  are  also  described  in Note 2.  The  financial
statements do not include any adjustments  that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

     Financial Condition.  (December 31, 1996 as compared to September 30, 1996)
During the three month period ended  December 31,  1996,  the  Registrant's  net
working capital increased approximately $83,300, due primarily to the generation
of cash of $441,400 through the exercise of common stock options,  offset by the
use of cash in operations and the resultant  operating  loss. Cash has been used
primarily to fund the general  operations of the Registrant  including  research
and  development,  and to promote  the sales,  introduction,  and  marketing  of
products.

     Principal  changes in the  components of net working  capital for the three
months ended December 31, 1996 consist of an increase in short term  investments
by $30,000,  a decrease in the  accounts  receivable  balance by $41,700,  a net
decrease in total inventory  levels by $22,000 (cash purchases of $80,000 net of
a non-cash transfer of inventory to loaner and demo equipment of $102,000),  and
a reduction in current liabilities by $78,700.

     During the three  month  periods  ended  December  31,  1996 and 1995,  the
Registrant  experienced  negative cash flows from  operations  of  approximately
$399,700 and $173,500,  respectively.  This increase in cash used for operations
of  $226,200  over the  comparable  quarter  of last  year  was a result  of the
following  significant factors: Cash purchases of inventory increased by $80,000
during this first quarter of fiscal 1997 as compared to a reduction in inventory
levels  during  the first  quarter  of fiscal  1996 for a net  increase  in cash
expenditures  of $87,300.  Accounts  payable and accrued  expenses  were reduced
during the first  quarters of both fiscal 1997 and fiscal 1996,  requiring  cash
outlays of  $108,900  and  $47,100,  respectively,  for a net  increase  in cash
payments  of $61,800  over the  comparable  period of last  fiscal  year.  Trade
accounts receivable decreased by $41,700 during the first quarter of fiscal 1997
versus a decrease of  $111,400  during  fiscal  1996 for a net cash  decrease of
$68,100 over the comparable period of last fiscal year.

ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operation. (Continued)


     To continue the  Registrant's  objective of  curtailing  operating  losses,
negative cash flow from operations and liquidity erosion further,  management is
continually  reviewing product profit margins and general expense accounts,  and
will reduce or eliminate all non-essential  expenditures.  Purchasing procedures
are  also in  place to  ensure  minimized  product  costs  and to  avoid  excess
inventory  levels.  A distribution  agreement signed with Micro Medical Devices,
Inc. allows the Registrant more flexibility in matching  inventory  requirements
and purchases with currently  anticipated sales of USES products and the Sterile
Coupler Drape,  thereby reducing inventory carrying costs of these products.  To
date, product sales pursuant to this agreement have been minimal.  Management of
the Registrant is also continuing to seek OEM customers for all product lines.

     The Company also entered into a revised  license  agreement  with Dr. Edwin
Adair during  fiscal 1995  resulting  in reduced  patent  maintenance  and other
associated costs.

     Without  significant  sales  increases,  the Registrant  still  anticipates
negative  cash flow from  operations  for fiscal 1997 and beyond.  During fiscal
1996 cash flow deficits were funded by employee,  officer,  and consultant stock
option  exercises.  In  previous  years this  deficit  has been funded by equity
placements  and loans from the Company's  chairman.  However,  the  Registrant's
ability to fund its operations  will be dependant  upon achieving  profitability
and in generating a positive cash flow from operations. Unless the Registrant is
able to increase sales revenues,  and achieve and maintain  profitability during
fiscal 1997, the Registrant may be facing significant  working capital shortages
beginning in fiscal year 1998.  There can be no assurance  that the Company will
be able to achieve this goal.

     The Registrant  believes that its existing capital resources are sufficient
for the current  fiscal  year,  and the  Registrant  has planned no  significant
capital  expenditures.  The Registrant is not seeking  additional debt or equity
capital at this time,  however there are  1,057,850  vested common stock options
outstanding  as of December 31, 1996, and if exercised (of which there can be no
assurance),  these options would provide varying  amounts of additional  working
capital to the Registrant.  These options have various strike prices which range
between  $1.12 and $4.00 per  share and at  December  31,  1996 the price of the
Company's  common stock was  approximately  $3.20. If the Registrant does obtain
additional capital (of which there can be no assurance), the Registrant will

     Revenue.  Sales for the  three  months  ended  December  31,  1996 and 1995
totaled  $197,600 and $163,400,  respectively,  for an increase of approximately
$34,200 or 20.9%.  The  Registrants  new intraoral  dental camera,  still in the
introductory  stage,  generated  revenues of $125,200  for the first  quarter of
fiscal 1997. There were no sales of this camera during the comparable  period of
fiscal 1996. The following  medical  product groups incurred  significant  sales
decreases  over the comparable  period of fiscal 1996 in the following  amounts:
general  accessories  $26,800,  electronic  video  laparoscope  (EVL's) $11,700,
optical catheters & accessories $40,700. The declining sales levels are due to a
lack of market acceptance for the Registrant's  medical products,  a decrease in
capital  budget  expenditures  in  hospitals  coupled with less  influence  over
purchasing  decisions by physicians,  reduced medical  marketing  efforts by the
Registrant,  and  increased  competition  from other  manufacturers  of surgical
cameras. Domestic, non-OEM sales

accounted for 95% and 61% of total sales,  foreign sales  accounted for 5.0% and
27% of total sales,  and OEM sales  accounted  for 0% and 12% of the total sales
for the comparable periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     Foreign  sales for the three months  ended  December 31, 1996 and 1995 were
$9,700  and  $44,800,  respectively,  for a decrease  of  $35,100  or 78%.  This
decrease  is due  primarily  to a decline in EVL,  light  source and spare cable
sales  to  foreign  distributors  in  Pakistan  and  England.   Sales  to  Rosot
Enterprises,  the  Registrant's  South  American  representative  are  currently
negligible. The Company's foreign sales are derived primarily from the following
markets: South America, England, France, Australia and The Netherlands.

     Cost of Goods Sold.  Cost of goods sold for the three months ended December
31, 1996 and 1995 totaled $145,300 and $112,600,  respectively,  for an increase
of  approximately  $32,700  or 29.0%.  Total  cost of goods sold as a percent of
sales was 73.5% and 68.9%, respectively, for the same periods. The cost of goods
sold  amount for both  fiscal  1997 and 1996 no longer  includes  a  significant
underapplied  overhead amount for  under-utilized  manufacturing  capacity.  The
fiscal 1996 cost of sales figure reflects a reclassification  of $60,400 made by
management  from  cost of goods  sold to  selling,  general  and  administrative
expense in an effort to more  accurately  identify and compare  standard cost of
sales.  The  increase  of 4.6% in cost of  sales is due to  negative  production
variances  such as  labor  and  materials.  Varying  sales  product  mixes  also
contribute to the cost of sales percentage increase.

     Selling,  General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A). SG&A expenses for the
three  months  ended  December  31, 1996 and 1995 were  $298,700  and  $310,000,
respectively,  for a decrease of approximately  $11,300 or 3.6%. The fiscal 1997
number  includes a non cash expense of $13,600 for vesting of consultant  common
stock  options  per FAS 123,  a $41,600  writeoff  of loaner  and  demonstration
equipment,  and a $10,200 charge for bad debts.  Without these non-cash  expense
charges  totaling  $65,400,  the  fiscal  1997  SG&A  expense  would  have  been
approximately  $233,300, or an improvement by $76,700 over fiscal 1996 expenses.
Other  significant  expense  reductions during fiscal 1997 versus the comparable
period of fiscal 1996 include reduced depreciation and amortization charges as a
substantial  amount of loaner equipment became fully  depreciated  during fiscal
1996, and cost cutting measures  instituted by Management  precipitated by lower
sales and production  values.  The  registrant  continues to reduce or eliminate
expenses in all areas when practical.

     Research and Development  Costs (R&D).  For the three months ended December
31, 1996 and 1995 R&D expenses  were $32,300 and  $51,100,  respectively,  for a
decrease  of  approximately  $18,800  or 36.8%.  A  significant  portion of this
decrease  is due to a  reallocation  and focus of the  Registrant's  R&D  budget
toward projects specifically related to the intraoral dental camera. General R&D
funding has been reduced along with funding for the model 5990 optical  catheter
system.  The Registrant  policy is to fund research and  development as it deems
appropriate to maintain or gain a competitive advantage.
