                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 MARCH 31, 1998



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,
1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended June 30, 1998.  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 - PER SHARE AMOUNTS

In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share.  Statement 128 replaced the
previously reported primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and
diluted earnings per share.  Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings
per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible
securities.  Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the previously
reported fully diluted earnings per share.  All earnings per share amounts for
all periods have been presented, and where necessary, restated to  conform to
the Statement 128 requirements.

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 1998 decreased
14% to $1,321,000 from $1,535,000 for the prior year's quarter.  Domestic
product sales contributed $1,091,000, a 2% increase from $1,067,000 for the same
period last year, of which Long Term Peripheral Catheter sales, a new product
line introduced in the second quarter of fiscal year 1997, were $125,000.  Sales
of the tracheostomy products increased to $122,000 from $38,000 in the previous
year's quarter.  Product sales to international distributors were $110,000
compared to $385,000 during last year's quarter.  Sales to Japan decreased by
$252,000 and sales to other international distributors decreased by $23,000.
The Japanese distributor has been experiencing competition from a product
manufactured in Japan.  The Company has redesigned its product for the Japanese
market and it has been submitted by the distributor to the Japanese Ministry of
Health (`MOH").  Approval to import the redesigned product is expected by July
1998.  The Japanese distributor has not been restocking current inventory in
anticipation of the MOH approval of the new product and expects to return to
historical purchasing levels later this year.  OEM sales were $112,000 for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998, compared to $68,000 for the prior year's quarter.
The increase is due to resuming shipment of products to a major OEM customer, as
a result of completing their product modification.  Other income decreased by
$5,000.  For the first nine months of fiscal year 1998, total consolidated
revenues increased over last year's period by 7% to $4,187,000.

Cost of revenues as a percentage of net sales for three months ended March 31,
1998, increased to 60% from 56% for the prior year's quarter, due to slightly
higher manufacturing costs.  For the first nine months of fiscal year 1998, cost
of revenues as a percentage of net sales increased slightly to 58% from 57%.

Selling expenses increased by $19,000 for the quarter and decreased by $37,000
for the nine-month period.  The increase for the three months ended March 31,
1998 is due to extensive product training programs to support the Company's
distributor network, while the decrease for the nine-month period is mainly
attributable to the termination of a marketing  service contract in November
1996.  General and administrative expenses decreased by $27,000 for the quarter
and increased by $31,000 for the nine-month period.  The decrease for the three-
month period is primarily due to reduced legal expenses.  The increase for the
nine-month period resulted from severance pay  to the founder of the Company and
two other employees which was partially offset by a reduction of consulting
fees, legal fees and shareholder expenses.

Research and development expenses decreased by $66,000 for the quarter and by
$110,000 for the nine-month period ending March 31, 1998, as the result of
reduced compensation and project expenses.  Depreciation and amortization
expense decreased by $6,000 for the quarter and by $22,000 for the nine-month
period.

Impact of Year 2000
Some of the Company's older accounting programs were written using two digits
rather than four digits to define the applicable year.  As a result, those
computer programs have time-sensitive software that recognize a date using "00"
as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000.  This could cause a system failure
or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other
things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage
in similar normal business activities.  The Company has completed an assessment
and will have to modify or replace portions of its software so that its computer
systems will function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and
thereafter.  The total Year 2000 project cost is estimated at approximately
$25,000, which will be capitalized upon acquisition of the appropriate hardware
and software.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 1998, the Company had working capital of $2.8 million and its
principal source of liquidity consisted of $517,000 in cash.  Net cash used by
operating activities for the nine months ended March 31, 1998, was $273,000,
mainly as the result of the net loss of $382,000 and an inventory increase of
$268,000.  The loss was largely due to the non-recurring severance pay and
professional service fees, which amounted to an aggregate of $370,000 and were
incurred during the six month-period ending December 31, 1997.  With respect to
investing activities, the Company made purchases of property and equipment
totaling $97,000.  Financing activities provided $76,000, resulting from sales
of common stock for the exercise of stock options and warrants and collection of
notes receivables from shareholders .  The Company has no long-term commitments
other than a lease obligation of $123,200 for its facilities.
