PART I:    ITEM 2:     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                     FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THE COMPANY

         Innovex, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) operate through four
divisions, Precision Products, Litchfield Precision Components, InnoMedica and
Iconovex. Each division has its own administrative, engineering, manufacturing
and marketing organizations.

         The largest division, Precision Products, develops, engineers and
manufactures specialty precision electromagnetic products for original equipment
manufacturers ("OEM's"). Lead wire assemblies for the thin film disk drive
market are the Division's primary product.

         The Litchfield Precision Components Division (LPC) designs and
manufactures highly complex flexible circuitry and chemically machined
components. Approximately 40% of LPC's sales are medical product applications,
40% are computer and computer peripheral applications with the remaining 20%
primarily being communications industry or other applications.

         The Company also operates two other divisions, Iconovex and InnoMedica.
These divisions currently only produce a small portion of the Company's revenue.
Iconovex is responsible for the further development and marketing of a document
handling software product which was purchased in November 1993. The purchased
software prepares indexes and abstracts of documents stored on electronic media.
The initial application derived from the purchased software, Indexicon, was
designed for use on personal computers and began shipping in fiscal 1994.
Another product, AnchorPage, was released in fiscal 1995. AnchorPage enables
Internet World Wide Web sites to provide their users access to web site
information automatically using conceptual navigational techniques. The
Division's newest product, EchoSearch, was released during the fiscal 1996
fourth quarter. EchoSearch, is a desktop based tool for browsers of the World
Wide Web which enables users to simultaneously query multiple search engines.
The search responses are indexed and abstracted to present the user a condensed
view that improves both the speed and accuracy of the search. The Division
intends to focus future attention on licensing its technology to OEM software
developers.

         InnoMedica was formed late in fiscal 1993 to further develop the
Company's medical business. In line with this strategy, the Company acquired
Daig Corporation's pacemaker lead wire and adapter product line in September
1993 and Possis Medical, Inc's pacemaker lead wire product line in March 1994.
Revenue generated by this division should continue to increase throughout fiscal
1997 as its customer base expands.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET SALES

         The Company's net sales from operations totaled $29,312,000 for the
quarter, up 124% from $13,112,000 reported in fiscal 1996. The increase was due
to the continued strong demand for lead wire assemblies caused by increased
demand for disk drives and the addition of sales from the May 16, 1996 LPC
acquisition. Also contributing to the sales increase was an increasing portion
of high end MR lead wire assemblies being included in the product mix, partially
as a result of the success of Innovex's new WAT technology. These MR lead wire
assemblies have a higher value added content and sell for a higher price than
the low end inductive assemblies. The lead wire assembly demand is expected to
remain strong throughout the remainder of the fiscal year with an increasing
portion of the lead wire sales being the high end MR products. The LPC
acquisition should also continue to contribute to an increase in sales for the
remainder of the fiscal year.

GROSS MARGINS

         The Company's consolidated gross profit as a percent of sales for the
quarter remained relatively stable at 41% as compared to 42% reported for the
same period last year. Gross margins for the existing lead wire assembly
business should remain relatively stable for the remainder of the fiscal year
due to expected continued strong demand.

OPERATING EXPENSES

         Operating expenses were 11.2% of sales for the current quarter,
improved from 13.7% in the prior year's first quarter. The decrease in operating
expenses as a percent of sales for the current year is primarily due to the
increase in sales more than offsetting the increase in total operating expenses.
Total operating expenses increased primarily due to the inclusion of operating
costs from LPC which was acquired on May 16, 1996 and the adding of
infrastructure to handle the higher level of activity. The level of operating
expenses is not expected to change significantly as a percent of sales for the
remainder of the fiscal year.

OPERATING PROFIT

         Consolidated operating profit of $8,831,000 in the current quarter was
up 137% from the $3,726,000 profit for the prior year first quarter. This is
primarily the result of the increased sales volume. Operating profit for the
remainder of the fiscal year is expected to remain strong due to the continued
high demand for thin-film lead wire assemblies and the inclusion of LPC's
operating results. Revenues from the Company's Iconovex and InnoMedica Divisions
are expected to continue to increase; however, they will remain a small portion
of the Company's total sales. Although both divisions are currently generating
operating losses, InnoMedica is expected to be operating at a profitable level
by the end of the fiscal year.

NET INCOME

         Consolidated net income for the fiscal 1997 first quarter was
$6,338,000 or $0.42 per share as compared to $2,751,000 or $0.19 per share for
the prior year first quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Cash and short-term investments increased to $23.9 million at December
31, 1996 from $21.8 million at September 30, 1996. This increase was primarily
due to income generated from operating activities.

         Accounts receivable at December 31, 1996 increased by $5,680,000 from
September 30, 1996 due to the increased level of sales at the end of the
quarter. Inventory increased by $702,000 from September 30, 1996 to support the
increased level of activity and the start up of a new sub-contractor in China.

         Working capital totaled $40.2 million and $33.5 million at December 31,
1996 and September 30, 1996, respectively. The increase is primarily due to the
increase in accounts receivable.

         Since September 30, 1996, the Company has invested over $1.6 million in
property, plant and equipment. These additions include equipment to expand and
further automate the lead wire assembly production process and computer
equipment and software.

         Management believes that internally generated funds will provide
adequate sources of capital for supporting projected growth in fiscal 1997.

number of directors, not less than the minimum permitted by law, as shall be

         Section 2. Except as otherwise herein provided, the term of office of
each director of the corporation shall be for a period of one (1) year, and
until his successor is elected and qualified, unless the director is removed as
provided by law.

         Section 3. At the first shareholders' meeting of the corporation
subsequent to incorporation, director or directors shall be elected to serve

to serve during the unexpired portion of said term may be elected by the
remaining directors.

         Section 4. The Board of Directors shall have the authority to accept or

options to purchase or subscribe for capital stock. The Board of Directors shall
from time to time fix and determine the consideration for which the corporation
shall issue and sell its capital stock, and also the dividends to be paid by the
corporation upon the capital stock. The Board of Directors shall have authority
to fix the terms and conditions of rights to convert any securities of this
corporation into shares and to authorize the issuance of such conversion rights.

         Section 5. The Board of Directors shall have the authority to issue
bonds, debentures or other securities convertible into capital stock or other

rights to purchase and/or subscribe to capital stock or other securities of any
class, upon such terms, in such manner, and under such conditions as may be
fixed by resolution of the Board prior to the issue thereof.

         Section 6. The Board of Directors shall have the authority to make and
alter the Bylaws, subject to the power of the shareholders to change or repeal
the Bylaws.

         Section 7. A quorum for any meeting of shareholders to transact
business of this corporation except as otherwise specifically provided herein or
by law shall be the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority
of the shares of common stock of the corporation outstanding and of record on
the record date set for such meeting.

         Section 8. No contract or other transaction between the corporation and
any person, firm, association or corporation, and no other act of this
corporation shall, in the absence of fraud, be invalidated or in any way
affected by the fact that any of the directors of the corporation are, directly
or indirectly, pecuniarily or otherwise interested in such contract, transaction
or other act or related to or interested in such person, firm, association or
corporation, as director, stockholder, officer, employee, member or otherwise.
Any director of the corporation, individually, or any firm or association of
which any director may be a member may be a party to or may be pecuniarily or
otherwise interested in any contract or transaction of the corporation, provided
that the fact that he individually or such firm or association is so interested
shall be disclosed or known to the Board of Directors or a majority of such
members thereof as shall be present at any meeting of the Board of Directors, or
of any committee of directors having the powers of the full Board, at which
action upon any such contract, transaction or other act is taken, and if such
fact shall be so disclosed or known, any director of this corporation so related
or otherwise interested may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum
at any meeting of the Board of Directors of such committee at which action upon
any such contract, transaction or act shall be taken and may vote thereat with
respect to such action with like force and effect as if he were not so related
or interested. Any director of the corporation may vote upon any contract or
other transaction between the corporation and any subsidiary or affiliated
corporation.

         Section 9. Officers and directors of this corporation may hold
positions as officers and directors of any other corporations in related
businesses, and their efforts to advance such corporations will not constitute a
breach of fiduciary loyalty to this corporation in the absence of a showing of
bad faith.

                                   ARTICLE X.
                                    Directors

         Section 1. No director of the corporation shall be personally liable to
the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's
duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders; (ii) for acts or
omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
