NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands)


NOTE 1--BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all
information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of
financial position, results of operations and changes in cash
flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included. The Company has
reclassified the presentation of certain prior year information
to conform to the current year presentation format.

It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes
thereto included in the company's latest Annual Report or Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

NOTE 2--INVENTORIES

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market
principally on the Last-in, First-out (LIFO) method.  The
estimated replacement cost of LIFO inventories exceeds stated
LIFO cost by $4,523 and $4,498 at March 31, 1995 and December
31, 1994 respectively.

Inventories were as follows:

            <S>                       <C>             <C>
               Finished goods           $  7,455        $ 6,024
               Work in process             6,256          3,664
               Raw materials               3,705          5,274

                                         $17,416        $14,962
</TABLE>

Because the inventory determination under the LIFO method can
only be made at the end of each fiscal year based on the
inventory levels and costs at that point, interim LIFO
determinations are based on management's estimates of expected
year-end inventory levels and costs.

Since future estimates of inventory levels and prices are
subject to many forces beyond the control of management, interim
financial results are subject to final year-end LIFO inventory
amounts.

NOTE 3--NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Net income per common share is computed by dividing net income
by the weighted average number of common shares and common share
equivalents (dilutive stock options) outstanding during each
year (4,357,981, in 1995 and 4,289,913 in 1994).

</TABLE>


Net sales increased  14.7%, to $33,613 in the first quarter 
1995 as compared to net sales of $29,297 in the first quarter of
1994. Cybex division sales rose nearly 18% overall principally from
a substantial increase in international shipments for both 
rehabilitation and fitness products and increased shipments of 
strength training and cardiovascular exercise equipment into the 
institutional and consumer fitness markets.

Lumex division sales increased 11.2% as shipments of its AkroTech 4000 low 
air loss therapy systems nearly doubled in the first quarter 1995 as compared
to the same period in 1994. Shipments of the division's mobility aids, bath 
safety products and line of stainless steel wheelchairs were also ahead of 
prior year shipments.

Gross margins were slightly lower, at 38.8% in the first quarter 1995 as 
compared to 39.2% in the first quarter of 1994. Substantial increases in 
material costs exceeded improvements in efficiencies resulting from
leveraging higher sales volume. 

Selling and administrative costs increased 21.7%, to $11,576, as compared 
to $9,510 in the same period a year ago. Selling expenses at both the Lumex 
and Cybex divisions increased resulting from adding sales and marketing 
personnel for the Lumex low air loss therapy products and for Cybex's 
international markets. Administrative costs were higher due to the 
amortization of certain rights and licenses acquired in the first quarter
1995, relating to the low air loss therapy and the FASTEX products lines.
<PAGE>

Product development expenses increased 37.5%, to $1,453 in the first
quarter 1995 compared to $1,057 for the same period a year earlier.
Cybex spending increased nearly 40% due to efforts to accelerate the
introduction of major new products in both the fitness and rehabilitation
markets while Lumex division spending rose more than 30% principally related
to its Therapeutic Support Systems business unit.

Interest expense increased 26.8%, principally the result of higher 
interest rates affecting the Company's short-term borrowings and 
variable rate long-term debt. Other income, principally interest 
income, decreased 16.7% due to the reduction in average lease 
receivables which resulted from the sale of substantially all 
the Cybex lease receivables in December 1994. The effective tax 
rate for the first quarter 1995 was 35% compared to 31% for the 
year ended December 31, 1994 and reflects the expected annual 
effective tax rate for the year.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company continues to maintain a very strong financial
condition with working capital in excess of $29.2 million
including cash and investments of $5.8 million and a
current ratio of 2.0 to 1.

Net cash used in operating activities was $5.4 million during the first
quarter 1995 principally resulting from an increase of $2.4 million in 
inventories due, in part, to the introduction of two major new products 
at the Cybex division and an increase of $4.1 million in lease 
receivables under the Company's successful captive lease program. 

Cash used in investing activities totaled more than $5.4 million 
during the first quarter 1995 due to over $1.9 million in 
capital spending and payments totaling nearly $3.4 million made 
in acquiring certain rights and licenses related to the low air 
loss therapy systems and the FASTEX product lines. 

Cash flow provided by financing activities of nearly $2.1 million 
resulted primarily from $3.0 million in short-term borrowings net 
of $925,000 in payments under long-term debt agreements.

The Company has a conservative capital structure with a
long-term debt to equity ratio of .22 to 1 at March 31, 1995
and $15 million in short-term bank lines of credit of which $3.0 
million was utilized to fund the first quarter leasing activity. 
Management expects the Company's manufacturing operations will 
continue to be a net user of cash during the remainder of 1995 
as it funds several major new products and increases its capital 
spending to take advantage of newer technology and redesign of 
its facilities to increase capacity and lower costs. The Company 
believes its conservative capital structure affords it ample 
borrowing capacity to meet these additional cash requirements. The
Company's finance subsidiary is expected to continue to meet its cash
requirements by utilizing its warehousing lines of credit and through
periodic sales of its lease portfolio.
