                                 MARCH 31, 1997

NOTE A - BASIS OF PREPARATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of
Regulation S-B.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.  Operating results for the nine-month period ending March 31,
1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended June 30, 1997.  For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB.

NOTE B - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares
and common share equivalents outstanding.  Common sotck equivalents are not
included when their effect would be antidilutive.

NOTE C - INVENTORIES

The components of inventory consist of the following:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

Results of operations

Total consolidated revenues for the third quarter of fiscal year 1997 increased
31% to $1,535,000 from $1,174,000 for the prior year's quarter.  Domestic
product sales contributed $1,067,000, a 71% increase from $624,000 for the same
period last year.  Product sales to international distributors increased 62% to
$385,000 compared to $237,000 during last year's quarter.  OEM sales were
$68,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, compared to $286,000 for the prior
year's quarter.  The decrease is primarily due to no sales to a major OEM
customer as a result of a product design modification.  Sales to this customer
will resume in May 1997.  Additionally, as previously reported, the Company
changed its relationship with Pertrach Inc. ("Pertrach"), a former OEM customer.
In March 1996, the Company purchased Pertrach's patents, trademarks and certain
additional assets.  The Company had manufactured tracheostomy products for
Pertrach for many years on an OEM basis, and pursuant to the March 1996 purchase
agreement, now markets these products as well.  OEM sales to Pertrach for the
quarter ended March 31, 1996 were $30,000; sales during this year's quarter
increased to $38,000 and are included in domestic sales.  For the first nine
months of fiscal year 1997, total consolidated revenues increased over last
year's period by 45% to $3,914,000.

Cost of revenues as a percentage of net sales for three months ended March 31,
1997, decreased slightly to 55.5% from 57% for the prior year's quarter.  For
the first nine months of fiscal year 1997, cost of revenues were 57% as compared
to 56% for the same period last year.

Selling expenses increased by $23,000 for the quarter and by $232,000 for the
nine months ended March 31, 1997.  The increase for both periods is mainly
attributable to increased marketing efforts, such as extensive product training
programs to support the Company's growing distributor network.  General and
administrative expenses increased by $13,000 for the quarter, and by $267,000
for the nine-month period.  The increase of $267,000 is primarily the result of
non-recurring expenses of $245,000 incurred in the second quarter of fiscal year
1997, when the Company modified its internal quality assurance and regulatory
affairs system.  In October 1996, the Company engaged the services of a
consulting firm specializing in Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs, to
assist the Company in implementing such modifications.  The total non-recurring
expense was $300,000 (allocated among cost of revenues, general and
administrative expenses and research and development expenses).

Research and development expenses increased by $9,000 for the quarter and by
$48,000 for the nine months.  The increase for both periods is primarily the
result of a reduction in billable hours to a major OEM customer, due to a
slowdown in design activity.  Management expects chargeable research and
development activity to resume in the third quarter of fiscal year 1997.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $18,000 for the quarter and
by $38,000 for the nine-month period, due to purchases of injection molds.
Interest expense for both quarters was zero as well as for the nine-month period
ended March 31, 1997, compared to $13,000 for the prior year's period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 1997, the Company had working capital of $3.1 million and its
principal sources of liquidity consisted of $1.1 million in cash and cash
equivalents.  Net cash used by operating activities for the nine months ended
March 31, 1997, was $482,000, mainly as the result of the net loss of $598,000,
including a non-recurring expense of $300,000.  With respect to investing
activities, the Company made purchases of property and equipment totaling
$81,000.  Financing activities provided $46,000, resulting from sales of common
stock for the exercise of stock options and warrants.

The Company has no long-term commitments other than an annual lease obligation
of between $130,000 and $151,000 for its facilities through 1998.
