(3)  Acquisition of E for M Corporation
     ----------------------------------

     Effective January 1, 1996, the Company acquired 100% of the common stock of
     E for M Corporation, an international medical equipment, software and
     supplies company serving patient monitoring and cardiology, which includes
     cardiac catheterization and electrophysiology laboratories. Related to this
     purchase, the Company borrowed $90,000 under bank loan agreements payable
     periodically over the next five years. The acquisition has been accounted
     for as a purchase and the excess of the purchase price over the fair value
     of the net assets acquired has been allocated to goodwill. Based on a
     preliminary allocation of purchase price, the approximate value of such
     goodwill is $26,196. In addition, the Company acquired intangible assets
     related to in-process research and development (R&D), product technologies
     and tradenames with values of $35,700, $12,672 and $8,468, respectively.
     The acquired in-process R&D was entirely written-off at the acquisition
     date. The remaining intangibles have estimated useful lives ranging from 7
     to 40 years.

     Unaudited pro-forma results of operations, assuming the acquisition of E
     for M as of the beginning of the period indicated below, would be as
     follows:

     On May 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for the
     Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of."
     The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the
     financial position or results of operations of the Company.

ITEM 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
- ------   -------------------------------------------------
         Condition and Results of Operations
         -----------------------------------

Results of Operations - Three-Month Period Ended July 31, 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------

Net sales for the three-month period ended July 31, 1996 were $124.8 million, or
53.9% higher than the $81.1 million of net sales for the three-month period
ended July 31, 1995.  The results include the activity from operations related
to E for M Corporation.  Marquette Medical Systems, Inc. purchased the stock of
E for M Corporation, an international medical equipment, software and supplies
company serving patient monitoring and cardiology effective January 1, 1996.

Net sales for all product lines, other than the Corometrics product line,
achieved double digit sales growth as compared to the first quarter of last
year.  The increases are mainly attributable to the E for M acquisition which
improved Marquette's depth and breadth of products. Strong sales in the U.S.
markets, particularly for the Patient Monitoring product line, also contributed
to the increase.  U.S. sales for the Patient Monitoring products increased by
$6.2 million, or 41.1%, to $21.2 million for the quarter.

Gross profit increased to $60.4 million in the three-month period as compared to
$38.6 million for last year, mainly attributable to the E for M acquisition.
Gross margin increased to 48.4% from 47.6% last year.

Engineering expenses increased $3.6 million, or 43.3% for the period mainly
attributable to the acquisition of E for M Corporation.  The addition of E for M
resulted in $2.9 million of the increase.  The remaining increase is a result of
additional new product development. Management believes that the market for its
products is rapidly changing due to technological advances.  Therefore, the
Company will continue to invest significantly in both new product development
and enhancements to current products in order to remain competitive in the
healthcare market. The increase in engineering is consistent with the level of
expenses management believes is necessary in order to maintain the Company's
competitive position through improved products.

Selling expenses increased to $31.4 million for the quarter as compared to $21.5
million for the prior year's quarter.  The increased expenses were attributable
to the E for M activities in the current year.  For the quarter, the selling
expenses were 25.1% as a percentage of sales as compared to 26.5% as a
percentage of sales for the previous year.

General and administrative expenses increased $3.6 million to $10.6 million for
the quarter.  The E for M acquisition accounts for a significant majority of the
increase.  For the quarter, the general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of sales remained constant at 8.5% of net sales.

Operating income increased $4.6 million for the quarter from $2.0 million last
year to $6.6 million for this year's quarter.  While the E for M activities
account for a portion of the increase, the increase also is attributable to the
benefits related to the restructuring plan which began in the preceding year's
fourth quarter.  The restructuring plan consists of a consolidation of offices
in Europe as well as the integration of E for M's activities into Marquette's
activities.  During the quarter, $2.5 million of the restructuring charges
accrued in the previous fiscal year in conjunction with the E for M acquisition
were paid.  As of July 31, 1996, $5.2 million of the total E for M restructuring
charges remain in "Other current liabilities" in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
In addition, $2.3 million of the restructuring charges accrued in the previous
fiscal year related to Marquette's worldwide restructuring remain in "Other
current liabilities".  During the quarter $0.2 million was paid out with respect
to this restructuring plan.

Interest expense increased to $2.0 million for the three-month period ended July
31, 1996 as compared to $0.6 million for last year's quarter. The increase is
attributable to the increased borrowings related to the E for M acquisition.
Offsetting some of the increase related to this acquisition debt was the
retirement of the debt incurred for the Corometrics acquisition.


Financial Outlook
- -----------------

In as much as the Company's principal product lines are all related to the
healthcare industry, they are subject to the current uncertainty surrounding the
industry including consolidation of hospital groups and a move towards managed
care.  While the Company cannot predict the impact, if any, that such
modifications might have on its business, the Company's operating results are
closely linked to the healthcare economy. If revenue or earnings fail to meet
expectations of the investment community, there could be a significant impact on
the trading price for the Company's stock.  Management believes the introduction
of new products will put the Company in a competitive position as the healthcare
economy's demand for new equipment increases.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

Working capital was $135.6 million at July 31, 1996 compared to $133.2 million
at April 30, 1996.  Inventories increased $6.2 million which relates to
increased demo inventory as well as an increased backlog of orders.  Accrued
liabilities decreased by $7.6 million to $49.3 million as of July 31, 1996.
This decrease is partly attributable to the payment of the restructuring
liabilities.



                                     - 8 -

As of July 31, 1996 the Company had $15.0 million outstanding on lines of credit
of $20.0 million available for U.S. borrowings. In addition, the Company had
$28.1 million, U.S. dollar equivalent, in foreign currency loans outstanding on
lines of credit of $33.2 million for foreign currency borrowings. The foreign
currency loans were placed as a natural hedge against foreign currency
receivables.

Capital expenditures for the three-month period ended July 31, 1996 were $6.2
million as compared to capital expenditures of $2.7 million for the same period
last year.  The increase is due to the major acquisition of a new business
system.  The capital purchases were funded with draws from the working capital
line.

Effective January 1, 1996, the Company acquired 100% of the common stock of E
for M Corporation, an international medical equipment, software and supplies
company serving patient monitoring and cardiology.  The cash acquisition price
of $90.3 million was funded by three term loans in the amounts of $30.0 million
each.

Each term note is payable in eight equal installments of $3.75 million each
beginning on April 30, 1997 and each October 31 and April 30, thereafter through
October 31, 2000.  As of July 31, 1996, the Company had paid $9.0 million of the
debt, $3.0 million of each of the loans, through cash flow from operations.
Each note bears interest at a rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus one percent,
reset monthly.  At July 31, 1996 the rate was 6.4063% per annum.

On August 29, 1996, the Company converted $30.0 million of the E for M
acquisition debt into a longer term fixed rate debt.  This senior debt is at a
fixed rate of 7.46% per annum with a maturity date of August 29, 2008.

The Company retired $2.9 million of installment promissory notes during the
first quarter.  The payment was funded with a draw from the working capital
line.

Management believes the Company has the financial resources to meet its short
term and long term cash requirements.  The current U.S. inflation rate has
little impact on company operations.
