     considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

     Effective July 31, 1997, the Company is reporting its month end on the last
     day of each month for accounting purposes.

     The Company changed its method from the equity method of accounting
     for its 50%-owned affiliate Rosch GmbH Medizintechnik ("Rosch GmbH")
     to a consolidated basis on August 11, 1997 based upon the Company's 
     determination that it had reached the definition of control of Rosch 
     GmbH as of August 11, 1997 under generally accepted accounting 
     principles.

     The Company's determination of control of Rosch GmbH on August 11, 
     1997 was based primarily upon the successful completion of 
     negotiations to acquire effective voting control.  For the quarterly period
     ended October 31, 1997, the Company consolidated the Company and Rosch
     GmbH, however, the Company continued only to recognize earnings of Rosch
     GmbH up to its 50% ownership share until the remaining 50% was purchased. 
     Subsequently, the Company closed on the acquisition of the remaining 50% of
     Rosch GmbH (see Note 3. Subsequent Events below).

     The following proforma information is presented for comparative
     purposes to disclose information on the financial position and result
     of operations of American Electromedics Corp. and Rosch GmbH
     had they been consolidated for all periods presented.

     Operating results for the three month period ended October 31, 1997
     are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
     the year ending July 31, 1998. For further information, refer to the
     financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's
     annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended July 31, 1997.

     Foreign Currency Translation

     The financial statements of the Company's foreign subsidiary have been
     translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial
     Standards No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation.  All balance sheet amounts
     have been translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance
     sheet date.  Statement of Operations amounts have been translated using
     average exchange rates.  The gains and losses resulting from the changes in
     exchange rates from the date of acquisition of Rosch GmbH to October 31,
     1997 have been reported separately as a component of stockholders equity.

     The aggregate transaction gains and losses are insignificant.

     2. DEBT

     The Company entered into a Forbearance and Workout Agreement with its
     bank on October 28, 1997 as a result of the Company not being in compliance
     with certain financial covenants under its loan agreement as of July
     31, 1997. The bank has waived the non-compliance and the Company
     agreed to, among other things, raise an additional $250,000 of equity
     capital and to apply $150,000 of such amount against outstanding term
     loans. Additionally, as part of this Agreement, the Company's
     revolving line of credit was reduced to $300,000. Certain of the loan
     agreement financial covenants were also amended to more reasonably
     reflect the Company's current financial position.

     3.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     In connection with the October 1997 amendments to its bank
     arrangements and efforts to obtain additional equity capital, the
     Company reduced the conversion price of its outstanding 14% 
     Convertible Subordinated Debentures (the "Debentures") from $3.75 to
     $1.00 per share. As of November 3, 1997, the holders of all outstanding
     $720,000 principal amount of Debentures elected to convert. As a result
     of these conversions, the Company also reduced its long-term debt by
     $720,000 and issued 720,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company also
     will record a charge of approximately $100,000 to write-off deferred
     financing costs capitalized upon initial issuance of the Debentures.

     As of November 26, 1997, the Company closed a private placement of
     1,030,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $1.00 per share to a
     group of "accredited investors." The Company used $150,000 of the
     placement proceeds to repay portions of its bank indebtedness.

     On December 18, 1997, the Company closed on the purchase of the
     remaining 50% of the outstanding capital stock of Rosch GmbH for $155,000,
     consisting of $50,000 of cash and 105,000 shares of the Company's Common
     Stock, along with an investment in a 45%interest in Meditronic
     Medizinelektronik GmbH for $255,000, consisting of $150,000 of cash and
     105,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, pursuant to a Stock Purchase
     Option Agreement, dated as of November 1, 1997.  The shares were valued at
     $1.00 per share, which represented the fair market value of the Common
     Stock as of the entry into the Stock Purchase Option Agreement.  


     4.   Year 2000

     The Company has completed an assessment of Year 2000 issues with respect to
     its computer systems.  The Company believes that the Year 2000 issue will
     not pose significant operational problems for its computer systems in that
     all required modifications and conversions to comply with Year 2000
     requirements will be fully completed by the third quarter of 1999.  In the
     opinion of management, the total cost of addressing the Year 2000  issue
     will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or
     results of operations.


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

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net sales for the three month period ended October 31, 1997 were
     $1,830,000, compared to $540,000 for the three month period ended
     October 26, 1996. The increase in sales in fiscal 1998 was attributable
     to accounting for sales of Rosch GmbH on a consolidated basis as well
     as sales of the new intraoral dental camera system, which sales commenced
     subsequent to the first quarter of fiscal 1997.

     Cost of sales for the three month periods ended October 31, 1997 and
     October 26, 1996 were 57.8% of net sales.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three month 
     period ended October 31, 1997 were $687,000, compared to $315,000 
     for the comparable prior year period. The increase reflects accounting 
     for the selling, general and administrative expenses on a consolidated
     basis.

     Net loss for the three month period ended October 31, 1997 was $20,000,
     or $.01 per share, compared to a net loss of $160,000, or $.07 per share,
     for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in net loss
     is the result of increased sales offset by higher interest costs.

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Working capital of the Company at October 31, 1997 was $1,525,000,
     compared to $1,060,000 at fiscal year ended July 31, 1997. The
     increase of $465,000 reflects primarily the accounting for Rosch 
     GmbH on a consolidated basis.

     Subsequent to October 31, 1997, the Company increased its working
     capital upon the conversion of the $720,000 principal amount of
     Debentures to Common Stock and the gross proceeds of $1,030,000 upon a
     placement of 1,030,000 shares of Common Stock. As mentioned in Note 3
     to the financial statements to this Report, the Company applied
     $150,000 to repay portions of its bank indebtedness and $200,000 as
     the cash portion of the purchase price of its acquisition of the remaining
     50% of Rosch GmbH.  A copy of such purchase agreement is filed as an
     exhibit to this Report.

     Currently, the Company expects that available cash and its existing
     bank line of credit will be sufficient to meet its normal operating
     requirements, including research and development expenditures, over
     the near term.  Further, the conversion of the Debentures shall reduce
     the annual interest expense by $100,000.

     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. There is no assurance that management will find suitable
     acquisition candidates or effect the necessary financial arrangements
     for such acquisitions.
