                                (Unaudited)


    1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION  
         ---------------------

         The accompanying unaudited financial statements of American 
    Electromedics Corp. (the"Company") have been prepared in accordance 
    with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial 
    information.  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 three and six month periods ended January 27, 1996 
    are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected 
    for the year ended July 27,1996.  For further information, refer to

    2.   INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE
         -----------------------

         In January 1996, the Company invested $500,000 of cash and issued 
    500,000 shares of its common stock, $.10 par value, for a fifty percent
    interest in Rosch GmbH Medizintechnik ("Rosch GmbH").  Rosch GmbH is a 
    marketing and distribution company based in Berlin, Germany specializing 
    in the distribution of healthcare products, including American 
    Electromedics products, to primary care physicians throughout Europe.  
    In January 1996, Rosch GmbH sold its exclusive distributorship rights 
    for a manufacturer's ear, nose, and throat ("ENT") line of products in 
    order to concentrate on the Company's products as well as other healthcare
    products.  At January 27, 1996 the investment in Rosch GmbH exceeded the 
    Company's share of the underlying equity in net assets by approximately 
    $550,000 and is being amortized over forty years. 

          Financial information for Rosch GmbH for the one month ended January
    27, 1996 is as follows:  sales - $243,000; gross profit - $74,000; net 
    income - $349,000, which includes $335,000 from the sale of the ENT 
    distributorship rights discussed above. 

    3.   DEBT
         ----

         In December 1995, the Company entered into a term loan agreement 
    with a bank.  The loan is payable in equal monthly installments through 
    December 1998.  Interest is based on the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate 
    plus .5%.  There remains outstanding, under this loan, $194,000 as of 
    January 27, 1996.

         The Company also has a revolving line of credit from the same bank 
    in the amount of $300,000.  Interest is payable monthly and is based on 
    the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus .5%.  As of January 27, 1996 
    there was $300,000 outstanding under this revolving line of credit.       

         Borrowings under these loans are collateralized by essentially all 
    of the assets of the Company.

    Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
    ---------------------

    Net sales for the three and six month periods ended January 27,1996 
    were $843,000 and $1,507,000, respectively, compared to $559,000 and 
    $1,120,000 for the three and six month periods ended January 28, 1995, 
    respectively.  The increase in sales is primarily a result of shipments
    of the new Race Car Tympanometer(, introduced in the second quarter, 
    along with continued market acceptance of our other product lines.  
    Additionally,  net sales benefited from increased market penetration 
    by our new 50%-owned German medical products distribution affiliate, 
    Rosch GmbH Medizintechnik. The Company made this strategic investment 
    in January 1996.

    Cost of sales for the three and six months ended January 27, 1996 were 
    50.8% and 54.3% of net sales compared to 61.5% and 59.4% of net sales 
    during the same periods in the prior year.  The decrease in cost as a 
    percentage of sales can be attributed to the product mix.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six month 
    periods ended January 27, 1996 were $256,000 and $449,000, respectively, 
    compared to $137,000 and $290,000, respectively, for the comparable prior
    year periods.  The increase reflects increased sales and promotional 
    activity and corporate development expense.

    Research and development expense was $48,000 and $108,000 for the three 
    and six month periods ended January 27, 1996, respectively, compared to
    $7,000 and $14,000, respectively,  for the same periods last year.  
    The increase in research and development expenditures is the result of 
    work performed in preparation for the release of the Company's new Race 
    Car Tympanometer along with other products under development.

    Net income for the three and six month periods ended January 27, 1996 
    was $202,000, or $.02 per share, and $224,000, or $.02 per share, 
    respectively, compared to $58,000, or $.01 per share, and $135,000, 
    or $.01 per share, respectively, for the same periods last year.  
    The increase in net income is the result of a combination of higher 
    sales and an increase in gross profit margins.


    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
    -------------------------------

    Working capital of the Company at January 27, 1996 was $656,000 compared 
    to $915,000 at fiscal year ended July 29, 1995.  The decrease was 
    primarily the result of the strategic investment in our new German 
    affiliate offset by proceeds from a term loan and bank line of credit 
    and the results of operations.

    Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION  
              (Continued)

    Currently, the Company expects that available cash will be sufficient to 
    meet its normal operating requirements, including research and development
    expenditures, over the near term.  

    The Company is considering future growth through acquisitions of companies
    or business segments in related lines of business or other lines of 
    business, as well as through expansion of the existing line of business.
    In this connection, the Company is seeking to enhance its banking facility
    and also sell its capital stock.  There is no assurance that management 
    will find suitable acquisition candidates or effect the necessary financial
    arrangements.
