                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               DECEMBER 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 six month period ending December 31,
1997 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 - LOSS PER SHARE

Loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares
and common share equivalents outstanding.  Common stock equivalents are not
included because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE C - INVENTORIES

The components of inventory consist of the following:

NOTE D - STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY

During the quarter ended December 31, 1997, a certificate for 50,000 shares of
common stock was returned to the Company for cancellation reducing the number of
shares authorized, issued and outstanding.  The aforementioned canceled shares
and a payment of $28,908 reduced the note receivable from stockholders to
$19,001 from $235,409 as of September 30, 1997.

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

Results of operations

Total consolidated revenues for the second quarter of fiscal year 1998 increased
12% to $1,393,000 from $1,247,000 for the prior year's quarter.  Domestic
product sales contributed $1,052,000, a 9% increase from $966,000 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 $102,000.  Sales
of the tracheostomy products increased to $74,000 from $6,000 in the previous
year's quarter.  Product sales to international distributors were $149,000
compared to $161,000 during last year's quarter.  Sales to Japan decreased by
$24,000, while sales to other international distributors increased by $12,000.
OEM sales were $179,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997, compared to
$100,000 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 $7,000.  For the first six months of
fiscal year 1998, total consolidated revenues increased over last year's period
by 20% to $2,865,000.

Cost of revenues as a percentage of net sales for three months ended December
31, 1997, increased to 60% from 58% for the prior year's quarter, due to
slightly higher manufacturing costs.  For the first six months of fiscal year
1998, cost of revenues as a percentage of net sales decreased to 57% from 58%.

Selling expenses decreased by $2,000 for the quarter and by $55,000 for the six
months ended December 31, 1997, as a result of terminating a marketing service
contract in November 1996.  General and administrative expenses increased by
$62,000 for the quarter and by $59,000 for the six- month period, partially as a
result of incurring severance pay related to the founder of the Company and two
other employees.  The total severance pay amounted to $182,000 during the
quarter, of which $151,000 was accrued.  The majority of the severance pay was
due in accordance with an employment agreement with the founder of the Company,
who until recently was employed as the vice president of research and
development.  In the quarter ended December 31, 1997, professional service fees
relating to certain activities designed to increase shareholder value were
$141,000, compared to consulting fees of $245,000, relative to the quality
assurance and regulatory affairs aspects of the Company, in the same quarter
last year.  For the six-month period ending December 31,  1997, severance pay
was $197,000 and professional service fees amounted to $173,000.  Such expenses
are not expected to be repeated.

Research and development expenses decreased by $52,000 for the quarter and by
$44,000 for the six-month period ending December 31, 1997, as the result of
reduced compensation and project expenses.  Depreciation and amortization
expense decreased by $9,000 for the quarter and $17,000 for the six- month
period, due to reduced depreciation expenses.

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 December 31, 1997, the Company had working capital of $2.8 million and its
principal source of liquidity consisted of $503,000 in cash.  Net cash used by
operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 1997, was $290,000,
mainly as the result of the net loss of $340,000.  This loss was largely due to
the non-recurring severance pay and professional service fees, which combined
amounted to $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 $76,000.  Financing activities
provided $57,000, 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 $161,200 for its facilities through 1998.
