Company to Smiths Industries plc, a United Kingdom-based avionics, medical
systems and specialized industrial products manufacturer. The purchase price is

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

Financial Condition

Working capital at September 30, 1998 was $16,861,912 as compared to $18,404,401
at June 30, 1998. The decrease in working capital is primarily due to the
purchase of the assets of Anesco, Inc. as discussed below. Current cash and cash
equivalents were used for this purchase.

The Company's executive offices and production facilities are located at N7
W22025 Johnson Road, Waukesha, Wisconsin. This facility was completed and ready
for occupancy in early July 1998. During the move, manufacturing was not
operational for 2 days early in July, and administration was down for less than
a day; accordingly, the impact on operations was minimal. The Company used
current cash and cash equivalent balances to fund the purchase and build-out.
This new facility will allow the Company the space needed for growth and
efficient operations.

The Company closed on the sale of its previous facility located at W238 N1650
Rockwood Drive, Waukesha, Wisconsin on July 24, 1998. The land and building were
sold for $785,000, which constitutes a small gain over net book value. BCI had
purchased this facility on June 30, 1995. The Company has also closed on the
sale of the land adjacent to its previous facility on September 24, 1998 for
$255,000, an amount approximately equal to net book value.

As disclosed on Form 8-K, dated October 14, 1998, the Company has entered into
an agreement for sale of the Company to Smiths Industries plc, a United
Kingdom-based avionics, medical systems and specialized industrial products
manufacturer. The purchase price is approximately $6.28 per share to the
Company's shareholders. The transaction is expected to close in December, 1998,
or January, 1999.

The Company has reviewed its computer and other systems to identify those areas
that could be adversely affected by Year 2000 software failures. It has been
determined that the Company's products are fully Year 2000 compliant. All
software except for the Company's integrated computer based business system is
Year 2000 compliant. As a result, we have begun the research and analysis needed
to replace the current business system expected to have an estimated cost of
$300,000. Many of the off-the-shelf variety of software programs the Company
uses are already compliant, the few that are not will be upgraded to compliant
versions or replaced at minimal cost. The Company is currently verifying the
Year 2000 compliance of our computer hardware and operating systems and is
approximately fifty percent completed with this project. This review is expected
to be completed by the end of the calendar year. Additionally, the Company has
assessed the compliance of its office equipment (fax machines, copiers,
telephone system, etc.) and determined that these systems are fully compliant.
In 1999, the Company will review the Year 2000 compliance of its customers and
vendors.

Beyond the above review procedures, the Company is continuing to develop a Year
2000 contingency plan, should a Year 2000 compliance issue arise. However, there
can be no assurance that customers, suppliers and service providers on which the
Company relies will resolve their Year 2000 issues. Failure to complete the Year
2000 project in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on future
operating results or financial condition.

Effective July 1, 1998, SurgiVet, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, purchased the assets of Anesco, Inc. for $4,000,000 cash. Upon
completion of the purchase, the Company recorded $3,277,887 of goodwill. Anesco,
Inc. was a manufacturer of veterinary ventilator and anesthesia equipment.

Results of Operations

Net sales for the three-month period ended September 30, 1998 decreased 6.7%
from the corresponding prior year period. This decrease results from a decrease
in sales to both our direct domestic customers and to our international dealers,
primarily of our handheld pulse oximeters and handheld capnometers, but also in
sales of higher end products. Also in the first quarter, the Company
discontinued several old product lines in anticipation of introducing new
products. These new products are being introduced in the second quarter. The
decrease in sales of the BCI products is partially offset by approximately
$800,000 in sales of SurgiVet products.

Other income for the three- month period ended September 30, 1998 consists
primarily of interest income.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was approximately 43.5% during
the three-month period ended September 30, 1998 compared to 43.4% for the
corresponding period ended September 30, 1997. This fluctuation is attributable
to a change in the product mix sold among periods.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were 30.7% of net sales in the
three-month period ending September 30, 1998 compared to 22.9% during the same
period of the prior year. This percentage increase is due in part to the
decrease in sales mentioned above. Actual expenses increased by $422,000 or 25%
over the prior period. This is primarily due to additional expenses for domestic
sales territory expansion, and additional operating expenses for the Company's
veterinary division, SurgiVet, and also costs for the acquisition of Anesco.

The increase in engineering, research and development expenditures during the
three-month period ended September 30, 1998 of 20.5% compared to prior year
reflects development and regulatory cost related to new products. Overall, BCI
has committed to spending more in this area to continue its new product
introduction cycle.

All other costs and expenses of the Company remained relatively constant when
comparing the first three months of fiscal 1999 to that of fiscal 1998.
