ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
Net sales for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997 decreased 5% to $7.2
million from $7.6 million for the corresponding prior year period. This
decrease results from a decrease in sales to both our domestic and
international OEM customers and our international dealers, primarily of our
handheld pulse oximeters and other oximetry products into the hospital and
specialty markets. Net sales for the nine-month period ended March 31, 1997
decreased 8% when comparing it to the same nine month period of fiscal 1996.
This decrease, felt in all markets of our business, is due to the above
mentioned factors. Of interest is sales are declining at a slower rate in the
third quarter of fiscal 1997 than they were for the first half of the fiscal
year. The year-to-date decrease in sales at March 31, 1997 was only 8%,
compared with the year-to-date decrease of 10% at December 31, 1996.
Other income for the three- and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1997
consists primarily of interest income. Increases in interest income is due to
the increasing cash balances resulting from the Company's positive cash flows.
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was approximately 45.2% and
44.5%, respectively, during the three- and nine-month periods ended March 31,
1997 compared to 44.3% and 44.5% for the corresponding periods ended March 31,
1996. These fluctuations are attributable to a changes in the product mix sold
among periods.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were 22.3% and 24.3%,
respectively, of net sales in the three- and nine-month periods ending March
31, 1997 compared to 20.7% and 22.1% during the same periods of the prior year.
The increased percentage of sales in the three- and nine-month periods ending
March 31, 1997 is due to the decrease in sales over the same periods. Out of
pocket costs for the comparable periods have remained fairly flat due to cost
containment measures put into place.
Engineering, research and development expenditures decreased during the
three-month period ended March 31, 1997 when comparing them to the same period
during the prior fiscal year. These same expenses increased during the
nine-month period ended March 31, 1997 by 7% when comparing them to the prior
year. These fluctuations are due to spending on new product development which
may fluctuate during the development process. Overall, BCI has committed to
spending more in this area to continue its new product introduction cycle. As a
result, staff has increased in the current year, who, with outside consultants,
continue to develop new products that BCI feels will meet the needs of the
marketplace.
The company began paying regular income taxes in the third quarter of fiscal
1996 when the net operating loss carryforward in which it had benefit was
depleted. Prior to this, the Company was incurring a deferred income tax
expense as is depleted a deferred income tax asset resulting from the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109.
All other costs and expenses of the Company remained relatively constant when
comparing the first nine months of fiscal 1997 to that of fiscal 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital at March 31, 1997 was $14,808,000 as compared to $11,782,000 at
June 30, 1996. The increase in working capital is primarily a function of the
cash flow from operating activities. The cash and equivalents balance has
increased due to the positive cash flows the company experienced during the
first nine months of fiscal 1997.
Company management believes that sales revenues to be generated by current
products and anticipated new product introductions, and financing arrangements
currently in place will be sufficient to meet future liquidity and capital
needs.
Forward Looking Statements
Except for the historical information contained herein, this report contains
certain forward-looking statements that are subject to certain risks and

include, but are not limited to, the timing of new product introductions, the
current uncertainties surrounding the Company's principal industry segments
including the effect of consolidation of hospital groups and the move towards
managed care, and general economic conditions affecting the Company's market
segments.
