3.     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
       No. 128, "Earnings per Share." This standard establishes standards for
       computing and presenting earnings per share (EPS). SFAS No. 128
       simplifies the approach for computing earnings per share previously found
       in Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) Opinion No. 5. It replaces
       the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. It also
       requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the
       income statement for all entries with complex capital structures.

       Under the new statement, basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by
       dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average
       number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects
       the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts
       to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
       Diluted EPS is computed similarly to fully diluted EPS pursuant to APB
       Opinion No. 15.

       SFAS No. 128 is effective for financial statements issued for periods
       ending after December 15, 1997, with earlier application not permitted.
       The computation of basic EPS under SFAS No. 128 would have resulted in
       net income per common share of $0.19 for the quarter ended March 31,
       1997, compared to $0.22 for the same period in 1996. Diluted EPS
       computed under FASB No. 128 would have resulted in net income per common
       share of $0.18 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997.

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Except for historical information, this discussion contains forward looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those projected. Such risk and uncertainties include
those described in the "Risk Factors" section on page 8 of this Form 10-Q.

Results of Operations

For the quarter ended March 31, 1997, OEC Medical Systems, Inc. had net
income of $2.3 million, compared with net income of $2.7 million for the same
period last year. The results for the three month period ended March 31, 1997
reflect tax expense of $1.1 million, as compared to the same period in 1996, in
which the Company had no tax expense. Operating income improved from $2.6 
million in 1996 to $3.1 million in 1997. 

The following table sets forth OEC's operating results as a percent of net
sales:

Sales and Markets

Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, were $32.3 million, compared to
net sales of $26.2 million for the comparable period of 1996. This reflects a 
23% increase. Product sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 were $28.1
million, compared to product sales of $22.2 million for the same quarter last
year.

The order rate for the company's core product, the Series 9600 Digital Mobile
Imaging System, is ahead of last year, both domestically and internationally.
The increase is a result of increased sales coverage and market acceptance of
the product in all regions along with growth in sales of the Series 9600 12"
image intensifier option. This system offers a wider field-of-view needed for
some existing procedures as well as new applications such as aortic stent graph
placement. Sales and bookings for the Uroview 2600 were basically flat quarter
to quarter. Revenue from the newly introduced MINI 6600 and COMPACT 7600 C-arms
contributed to the overall revenue growth from the same period 




                                       6
<PAGE>   7
last year. The 6600 is gaining market share in line with the company's
expectations, and the 7600 market acceptance has improved and is now in line
with expectations. Although product sales have been improving, continued
competitive pricing pressures worldwide in all product categories are expected
to remain for the foreseeable future.

Service revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 was $4.2 million, up from
the previous year's $4.0 million. Revenue growth in service has slowed somewhat
from prior years. The main reason is that independent service organizations and
the consolidation of hospitals have taken away some of the service revenue
opportunities.

Margin Analysis

OEC's gross margin expressed as a percentage of net sales decreased 0.95% for
the first quarter when compared with the same period in 1996. Ongoing
improvements in manufacturing efficiency did not fully offset the impact of
continuing pricing pressures in all product lines.

Service expenses for the quarter were up against last year by $0.5 million.
These increases are attributed to higher labor costs and lower warranty
utilization due to increasing system reliability.

Operating Expenses

Research and development costs are up $0.5 million for the three month
period compared to the prior year.  This reflects the Company's continuing
investment in product development and improvements such as the recently
introduced Series 9600 Cardiac system.

Marketing and sales expenses are up $0.8 million for the three month
period compared to the prior year. This increase is due primarily to greater
commissions because of higher sales and increased costs associated with
additional sales coverage, both domestically and internationally, to obtain the
higher revenue. The Company recorded expense of $0.4 million due to unrealized  
currency translation losses in the first quarter.  Expressed as a percentage of
total revenue, the marketing and sales expense was down 0.89%.

Administrative expenses are up $0.3 million for the three months
compared to the prior year. The main reason for the increase in the first
quarter was the cost associated with the implementation of a new computer
system and associated training costs. These costs are expected to continue into
the second and third quarters of 1997 but at lower levels.

Income Taxes

During the first quarter of 1997, the Company recorded $1.1 million of tax
expense, compared to no tax expense in the first quarter of 1996 as the reversal
of the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets in that quarter had offset
the tax provisions required for federal and state income taxes. During 1996, the
company has reversed the remaining balance of the valuation allowance for the
deferred tax assets. The company believes that it will generate enough taxable
income to fully utilize the deferred tax assets, primarily made up of tax
credits, prior to their expiration.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash used by operations for the first three months of 1997 was $0.2
million, compared to cash provided of $1.5 million for the first three months
of 1996. The primary operational cash usage was for inventory increases to
support increased production due to the broadened product line and to provide
additional demonstration units.

A stock repurchase program of 750,000 shares of its outstanding common stock was
announced December 1994 and the authorized amount was increased to 1,250,000
shares January 1996. As of March 31, 1997, 939,983 shares have been repurchased
at a cost of $8,194,688 of which 87,983 were retired and 852,000 shares were
recorded as treasury stock. Also, $1.0 million was used to buy back warrants to
purchase common stock from PaineWebber R&D Partners II, L.P.

The Company plans building additions to its Salt Lake City facility in 1997 in
the amount of $3.0 million with work commencing in the second quarter of 1997
and completion by year-end. This building expansion is for increased
manufacturing capacity.

OEC believes that it has sufficient liquidity and anticipated cash flow to meet
its obligations in 1997. In addition, OEC continues to carry an unused $10
million line of credit.


Risk Factors

The Company's business involves risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those projected. Such risks and uncertainties
include: Product demand and market acceptance; the effect of general economic
conditions and foreign currency fluctuations; the impact of competitive products
and pricing; new product development and commercialization; the effect of the
continuing shift in growth from domestic to international healthcare customers,
and the impact of managed care initiatives in the United States and the ability
to increase operating margins on higher sales.

Future operating results are dependent on the Company's' ability to develop,
manufacture and market innovative products that meet customers' needs. Inherent
in this process are a number of risks that the Company must successfully manage
in order to achieve favorable operating results. The process of developing new
high technology medical products is complex and uncertain and requires
innovative designs that anticipate customer needs, technological trends and
healthcare shifts. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
develop and market new products on a cost-effective and timely basis, that such
products will compete favorably with products developed by others or that
technology will not be superseded by new discoveries or breakthroughs, for
example, the delay in introduction of the Series 9600 in 1994 which negatively
impacted revenue and earnings for the year.

Because of the substantial length of time and expense associated with bringing
new products through development and regulatory approval to the marketplace, the
medical device industry places considerable importance on obtaining patent,
trademark, copyright and trade secret protection for new technologies, products
and processes. A loss of protection could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business.

Major items that OEC currently purchases from others include video monitors,
X-ray tubes, image intensifiers, CCD cameras and power supplies. Some of these
parts and components are available from a limited number of single-source
manufacturers or suppliers. While the Company believes any of these
single-source items could be replaced over time, abrupt disruption in the supply
of a part for a product could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
production in cases where the existing inventory of the components is not
adequate to meet the Company's demand for the component during such disruption
and could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results
of operations.

The testing, marketing and sale of human healthcare products entails an inherent
risk of product liability, and there can be no assurance that product liability
claims will not be asserted against OEC. Although OEC has product liability
insurance coverage, there can be no assurance that such coverage will provide
adequate coverage against all potential claims.

As a manufacturer of medical devices, OEC is subject to extensive and rigorous
governmental regulation, principally by the FDA and corresponding state and
foreign agencies. Failure to comply with FDA regulations could result in
sanctions being imposed, including restrictions on the marketing of or recall of
the affected products.

OEC's facilities and manufacturing processes have been periodically inspected by
the FDA and other agencies, but remain subject to audit from time to time. OEC
continues to devote substantial human and financial resources to regulatory
compliance and believes that it remains in substantial compliance with all
applicable federal and state regulations. Nevertheless, there can be no
assurance that the FDA or a state agency will agree with OEC's positions, or
that its GMP compliance will not be challenged at some subsequent point in time.
OEC has received approval from the FDA and foreign regulatory authorities in the
past, when required, to market its products. In general, the length of time for
all reviews and approvals, most particularly from the FDA, has been lengthening
and the review or approval process for medical devices has become substantially
more difficult and expensive. Moreover, regulatory approvals, when granted, may
contain significant limitations on the standards due to unforeseen problems. To
date, product reviews for medical imaging technologies have been obtained within
three to twelve months. There can be no assurance that OEC will be able to
obtain necessary regulatory approvals in the future, and delays in the receipt
of or

failure to receive such approvals, the loss of existing approvals or failure to
comply with regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on the
business, financial condition and results of operation of OEC.

A portion of the Company's research and development activities, its corporate
headquarters and other critical business operations are located near a major
earthquake fault. The ultimate impact on the Company, significant suppliers and
the general infrastructure is unknown, but operating results could be materially
affected in the event of a major earthquake.

Although OEC believes that it has the product offerings and resources needed for
continuing success, future revenue and margin trends cannot be reliably
predicted and may cause the Company to adjust its operations. Factors external
to the Company can result in volatility of the Company's common stock price.
