     Accounting Standards (FAS) 128 "Earnings Per Share," which established
     new standards for reporting earnings per share.  The standard was applied

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

Financial Condition

Working capital at March 31, 1998 was $17,843,000 as compared to $16,347,000 at
June 30, 1997.  The increase in working capital is primarily a function of the
positive cash flow the Company experienced from operating activities during the
first nine months of fiscal 1998.

In November 1997, the Company purchased a new facility consisting of land and
building, near its current location for $1,979,000.  The Company intends to
move all of its operations into the new building, which is approximately 55,600
square feet.  The building is newly erected, and BCI estimates it will cost
approximately $1,200,000 to build out the interior to suit the Company's needs.
Cash and investment balances were used to fund the purchase of the facility
and will also be used to fund the build-out.  The build-out will not be
complete until after the end of the current fiscal year, at which time
operations will move.  In February 1998, BCI entered into a contract to sell
its current building for $785,000, with the closing scheduled for August 1998.
The Company will not sustain a loss on this sale.  The property adjacent to our
current building is not part of this transaction.  BCI will continue to
entertain offers for its purchase and intends to dispose of it after the move.
The Company does not anticipate a loss on the sale of this property.  It is not
anticipated that there will be any disruption in the operations of BCI, and the
new building will allow BCI the space needed for growth and efficient
operations.

The Company has addressed the Year 2000 (Y2K) issue and does not expect that it
will have a  material impact on its business, operations nor its financial
condition.  BCI's products are already Y2K compliant.  Many of the computer
software programs used by employees are also already compliant and it has been
determined that the costs of upgrading or replacing the ones that are not will
not be material.  These upgrades or replacements are expected to be completed
by January 1, 1999.  The Company is in the process of considering the impact of
this issue on customer and vendor relationships, but does not anticipate any
material consequences.

During the second quarter, the Company established a subsidiary, SurgiVet, Inc.
SurgiVet was established to design and distribute monitoring equipment to the
veterinary market.  The Subsidiary is currently operating out of a leased
facility, but will move into BCI's new building when the facility is complete.
BCI will fund this new Subsidiary out of current cash and investment balances.

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 cash needs.

Results of Operations

Net sales for the three-month period ended March 31, 1998 decreased 1.8% from
the corresponding prior year period.  This decrease results from a  16.9%
decrease in sales to our international OEM customers.  This decrease is
primarily due to decreases in sales into Europe of our higher end OEM
componentry.  Sales to our direct domestic customers and to our international
dealers were up 5.1% and 9.0%, respectively, for the quarter, but these
increases were not enough to offset the decrease in sales to our international
OEM customers.

Net sales for the nine-month period ended March 31, 1998 increased 8.8% over
the corresponding prior year period.  This increase results from increases in
sales to our direct domestic customers and to our international dealers of
25.2% and 24.6%, respectively.  These increases are primarily due to increased
sales of our handheld products in addition to sales of our new Clarity line of
products, which is being very well received in the marketplace.  The Clarity
series are a new line of compact, tabletop oximeters, CO2 monitors and NIBP
monitors.  Sales to our OEM customers were down 6.6% for the nine-month period
due to decreases in international OEM sales cited above.

Other income for the three-  and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1998
consists primarily of interest income.  The increase in the current periods
over prior years are a factor of higher investment balances in the current
year.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was approximately 42.4% and
43.1% during the three- and nine month periods ended March 31, 1998 compared to
45.2% and 44.5% for the corresponding periods ended March 31, 1997.  These
fluctuations are attributable to changes in the mix  of products sold among the
periods.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were 25.9% and 24.2%,
respectively, of net sales in the three- and nine-month periods ended March 31,
1998 compared to 22.3% and 24.3% during the same periods of the prior year. The
increased percentage in the three months ended March 31, 1998, is due to
increased convention expense, international travel expenses and marketing
expenses for SurgiVet.   The decreased percentage in the nine-month period
ended March 31, 1998 is solely due to the increase in sales, as actual expenses
increased over the period for the reasons cited above.

The 9.2% increase in engineering, research and development expenditures noted
during the three-month period ended March 31, 1998 compared to the similar
period in the prior year reflects increases related to payroll expenses and new
project expenses.  The 19.3% increase in these expenditures over the nine-month
period ended March 31, 1998 when compared to the similar period in the prior
year also reflects increases in expenses related to payroll, and new project
expenses.  These increases are the result of additional staffing when comparing
the first nine months of fiscal 1998 to the same period in fiscal 1997.

All other costs and expenses of the Company remained relatively constant when
comparing the first nine months of fiscal 1998 to that of fiscal 1997.
