                    PART I  - -  FINANCIAL INFORMATION


Item 1.  CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The response to Part I, Item 1 is submitted as a separate section
of this report.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Empi, Inc.'s (the "Company") total sales for the 1995 third quarter equaled
$17.3 million compared to $14.5 million for the third quarter of 1994, an
increase of 19.3 percent. Total sales for the first nine months of 1995
equaled $50.1 million, an 11.6 percent increase over the same period sales of
$44.9 million for 1994. Sales from the Company's core rehabilitation
products of TENS (Trancutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) devices, NMES
(Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation) devices, and related accessory
products were up 9.2 percent and 3.1 percent from 1994's third quarter and
first nine months, respectively. Sales from the Company's non-core products
of Innova PFS-Registered Trademark- (Pelvic Floor Stimulator),
Dupel-Registered Trademark- non-invasive drug delivery system, Advanced
Dynamic ROM-TM- and Ultraflex-Registered Trademark- dynamic orthosis, sEMG
(surface Electromyography Biofeedback), Pronex-TM- pneumatic device to
manage cervical pain, and other miscellaneous products were up 46.6 percent
and 36.0 percent from 1994's third quarter and first nine months,
respectively. International sales were 4.9 percent of total sales for the
third quarter of 1995 and 6.1 percent of total sales for the first nine
months of 1995, and compares to 5.9 percent and 6.3 percent of total sales
for the same periods in 1994.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 1995 was 73.1 percent of sales compared
to 73.3 percent of sales for the third quarter of 1994. The gross profit for
the first nine months of 1995 was 73.3 percent of sales versus 75.0 percent
of sales for the same period in 1994. The lower gross profit percentages for
the first nine months of 1995 were due primarily, to higher manufacturing
costs (mix and inflation), and higher distribution costs due to the increase
in volume of product shipped. The Company anticipates gross profit, as a
percent of sales, to continue at the current level for the remainder of 1995.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 1995
and 1994 were $8.5 million, respectively. Stated as a percent of sales, SG&A
expenses for the third quarter were 49.1 percent and 58.6 percent for 1995
and 1994, respectively. Selling, general and administrative costs for the
first nine months of 1995 were $25.2 million and 50.3 percent of sales
compared to SG&A costs for the first nine months in 1994 of $24.9 million and
55.5 percent of sales. There continues to be offsetting factors reflected in
the results for the third quarter and the first nine months of 1995, when
compared to the same periods in 1994. The major factors are higher payroll
and incentive compensation expenses, which are offset by lower costs due to
the closing of two office locations and lower provisions for bad debts.

Research and development costs were $.8 million and $2.6 million for the
third quarter and first nine months of 1995, respectively. That compares to
R & D spending for the same periods in 1994 of $.9 million and $2.5 million.
The Company's research and development spending in 1995 has been spread
evenly within the TENS/NMES, Orthosis, and Iontophoresis product groups, with
slightly higher spending on Incontinence and other new product research and
development, and lower spending on the sEMG product group.

FORM 10-Q - - PART 1 - ITEM 2 (Continued)

Interest income for the third quarter and the first nine months of 1995 was
$211 thousand and $550 thousand, respectively. Interest income for the same
periods in 1994 was $84 thousand and $195 thousand. The increase in interest
income is attributable to the Company's improved cash position, which has
allowed the Company to increase its long and short term investments in
interest-bearing securities. Interest expense was $27 thousand and $87
thousand for the third quarter and first nine months of 1995, respectively.
Interest expense for the same periods in 1994 was $40 thousand and $125
thousand. The majority of interest expense for both years is due to an
interest-bearing note issued to finance the Company's acquisition of Nortech
in 1992. Also in the third quarter of 1995, the Company had a one time gain
of $42 thousand on the sale of its Urofitness Center to Continence Clinics,
Inc. (CCI) of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Net income for the third quarter of 1995 was $2.1 million compared to $.8
million for the third quarter in 1994. Net income for the first nine months
of 1995 and 1994 was $5.8 million and $3.7 million, respectively. The 54
percent improvement in net income for the first nine months of 1995 has been
driven mainly by the following three factors; higher sales, stronger spending
controls, and higher interest income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company ended the third quarter of 1995 with a very sound and strong
financial position. Working capital at quarter end stood at $39.7 million
compared to $34.3 million at year end 1994, an increase of $5.4 million. The
Company's cash position (including short and long terms investments)
increased from $12.1 million at December 31, 1994 to $19.3 million at
September 30, 1995.

The Company has a $7.0 million line of credit, which it currently has not
borrowed against. The Company believes its cash, cash equivalents and short
term investments, together with cash flows from operations and the line of
credit, will be sufficient to meet the Company's anticipated working capital
and capital outlay requirements.

                        PART II - - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 5.  OTHER INFORMATION

On September 8, 1995, the Company filed an action in the United States
District Court for the District of Minnesota Third Division against Iomed,
Inc. for trademark infringement, unfair competition and deceptive trade
practices, requesting damages in an amount yet to be determined. On October
16, 1995, Iomed, Inc. filed an answer denying all of the Company's claims and
in addition filed counterclaims alleging various deceptive and unlawful trade
practices, breach of contract and other claims and seeks various preliminary
injunctions, orders and damages to be determined at trial.

The Company has denied all of Iomed, Inc.'s counterclaims and believes such
counterclaims are without merit and will have no material effect on the
Company's financial statements.
