                            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   JANUARY 31, 1998
                                     (Unaudited)


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

          The accompanying unaudited financial statements 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.  

          The Company changed its method from the equity method of
          accounting for 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 was based primarily upon the successful completion of
          negotiations to acquire effective voting control.  For the first
          quarterly period ended October 31, 1997, the Company continued to
          recognize earnings of Rosch GmbH up to its 50% ownership share. 
          On December 18, 1997,  the Company closed on the purchase of the
          remaining 50% of the outstanding capital stock of Rosch GmbH, 
          for $50,000 plus 105,000 shares of Common Stock, pursuant to a
          Stock Purchase Option Agreement, dated as of November 1, 1997. 
          As a result of this transaction, the Company recognized 100% of
          earnings by Rosch GmbH for the second quarterly period ended
          January 31, 1998.

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

          that may be expected for the year ending July 31, 1998.  For

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

          On December 18, 1997, the Company invested $255,000, consisting
          of $150,000 in cash and 105,000 shares of its Common Stock, for a
          45% interest in Meditronic Medizinelektronik GmbH ("Meditronic"),
          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 such Agreement.  Meditronic is a development and
          manufacturing company based in Germany, specializing in the
          manufacture of medical camera systems.  Substantially all of


                                      -6-
     <PAGE>


          Meditronic's sales are to Rosch GmbH.  At January 31, 1998, the
          investment in Meditronic exceeded the Company's share of the
          underlying equity in net assets by approximately $190,000 and is
          being amortized over twenty-five years.


          3.   DEBT
               ----

          On October 28, 1997, the Company entered into a Forbearance and
          Workout Agreement with its bank 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.

          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".  In connection with the
          closing of the private placement of 1,030,000 shares of Common
          Stock on November 26, 1997, the Company used $150,000 of the
          placement proceeds to repay portions of its bank indebtedness.

          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.

          4.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
               -----------------

          Effective as of March 15, 1998, the Company retained Liviakis
          Financial Communications, Inc. ("LFC") as a financial consultant
          for a term of one year for a fee of 1,000,000 shares of the
          Company's Common Stock and warrants for an additional 1,000,000
          shares of Common Stock exercisable at $1.00 per share for four
          years.  LFC would  receive a finder's fee equal to 2.5% of the
          gross funding of any debt or equity placement and 2% of the gross
          consideration on any acquisition for which LFC acts as a finder
          for the Company.



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

          This Report contains or refers to forward-looking information
          made pursuant to the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private
          Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. That information covers
          future revenues, products and income and is based upon current
          expectations that involve a number of business risks and
          uncertainties.  Among the factors that could cause actual results
          to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any
          forward-looking statement include, but not limited to, 
          technological innovations of competitors, delays in product
          introductions, changes in health care regulations and
          reimbursements, changes in foreign economic conditions or
          currency translation, product acceptance or changes in government
          regulation of the Company's products, as well as other factors
          discussed in other Securities and Exchange Commission  filings
          for the Company.

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

          Net sales for the three and six month periods ended January 31,
          1998 were $1,805,000 and $3,635,000, respectively, compared to
          $523,000 and $1,063,000 for the three and six month periods ended
          January 25, 1997.  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.  Sales of the dental camera commenced in the
          second quarter of fiscal 1997.


                                      -7-
     <PAGE>


          Cost of sales for the three and six month periods ended January
          31, 1998 were 45.5% and 51.7%, compared to 53.9% and 55.9% 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 which included sales of Rosch GmbH on a consolidated basis.

          Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and
          six month periods ended January 31, 1998 were $903,000 and
          $1,590,000, respectively, compared to $374,000 and $689,000 for
          the comparable prior year periods.  The increase reflects
          increased marketing and promotional activity, as well as
          accounting for the selling, general and administrative expenses
          of Rosch GmbH on a consolidated basis.  The Company expects that
          the higher level of marketing and selling expenses will continue
          for the balance of fiscal 1998, when compared to the prior year
          as the Company promotes its new dental camera product line.

          Net profit for the three and six month periods ended January 31,
          1998 were $64,000, or $.02 per share, and $44,000, or $.01 per
          share, compared to net losses of $234,000, or $.09 per share, and
          $394,000, or $.16 per share for the same periods in the prior
          fiscal year.  The increase in net profit is the result of
          increased sales offset by higher interest costs.


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

          Working capital of the Company at January 31, 1998 was
          $2,501,000, compared to $1,060,000 at fiscal year ended July 31,
          1997.  The $1,441,000 increase in working capital primarily
          reflects the accounting for Rosch GmbH on a consolidated basis,
          along with gross proceeds of $1,030,000 upon a private 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
          Rosch GmbH and investment in Meditronic.  Further, the conversion
          of the Debentures shall reduce the annual interest expense going
          forward by approximately $100,000.  The principal component of
          the increase in working capital were inventory and accounts
          receivable as the result of accounting for Rosch GmbH on a
          consolidated basis.

          The Company expects that available cash and its existing bank
          line of credit should be sufficient to meet its normal operating
          requirements, including research and development expenditures,
          for the next few months, after which the Company would have to
          raise additional capital or curtail certain activities.  The
          Company is seeking additional capital through equity and/or debt
          placements and would use the placement proceeds for repayment of
          its bank indebtedness, for marketing and research and development
          activities, for possible acquisitions and for working capital. 
          The Company has made a commitment with its bank that the
          outstanding indebtedness, which was approximately $600,000 at
          February 28, 1998, would be repaid by the end of May 1998 or the
          closing of the placement, if earlier.  There is no assurance that
          a placement will be consummated, and if so, that it will be on
          terms favorable to the Company.

          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 March 1998, the Company entered in
          an Agreement and Plan of Merger to acquire Equidyne, Inc., for
          600,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock.  Equidyne holds a
          patent for a needleless injection process which is in the
          development stage.  The closing is subject to customary closing
          conditions, including completion of the Company's due diligence
          review.  No assurance can be given that the Equidyne transaction
          will close or if consummated that it will be successful,
          especially in light of the need for additional working capital to
          support the necessary development, production and marketing
          efforts.  There is no assurance that management will find
          suitable acquisition candidates or effect the necessary financial
          arrangements for such acquisitions.

          Item 2.   CHANGES IN SECURITIES

          The issuance of 720,000 shares of Common Stock upon conversion of
          the Debentures was exempt from registration under the Securities
          Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") by virtue of
