                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
                                  (unaudited)

1. PRESENTATION
   ------------

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and include all of the
information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles for interim reporting, which are less than those required for annual
reporting. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in
nature) necessary to present fairly the financial position of Medex, Inc. at
September 30, 1996, and the results of operations and cash flows. The notes to
the Consolidated Financial Statements which are contained in the 1996 Annual
Report to Shareholders should be read in conjunction with these Consolidated
Financial Statements. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year's
amounts to conform with the classifications of such amounts for fiscal 1997.

2. RESTRUCTURING
   -------------

During the first quarter, the Company finalized the "turnaround program" for
its domestic operations which began in the third quarter of fiscal 1996. The
total cost of the program was expected to be approximately $4,350,000. The
actual costs of the "turnaround program" totaled 4,382,000. The difference of
$32,000 between the actual and the expected expense is primarily due to
consulting costs being higher than anticipated. The Company used available cash
to fund these expenditures.

The Company's total cost for the "turnaround program" consisted of $2,704,000
in restructuring costs and $1,678,000 in write-offs of discontinued items. The
restructuring costs consist of $1,643,000 for consulting services, $781,000 for
severances for terminated employees and the remainder for legal and
outplacement expenses. The $1,678,000 charge associated with discontinued items
represents the write-off of inventory and fixed assets as a result of the
Company's decision to discontinue or replace certain items. All these costs
were recorded in fiscal 1996 with the exception of $741,000 of restructuring
costs recorded during the quarter which consisted of $175,000 for severances
costs and $566,000 for consulting services.

3. SALE OF PRODUCT LINE
   --------------------

In July, 1996, the Company sold its WalkMed(R) ambulatory infusion pump product
line, related disposable products and associated assets. The Company will
continue to manufacture the WalkMed line and related disposables and will
distribute the products outside of North America for up to three years. The
Company's sales related to WalkMed in fiscal 1996 were approximately
$3,500,000. The Company recognized a gain of approximately $3,100,000 on the
sale of the product line. WalkMed infusion systems are used to administer
intravenous therapies to patients in non-hospitalized, alternate site locations.

4. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
   ----------------

On November 13, 1996, the Company and Furon Company, headquartered in Laguna
Niguel, California, announced the signing of a Merger Agreement under which FCY,
Inc., Furon's subsidiary, will commence a tender offer to acquire all of the
Company's outstanding shares for $23.50 per share. The total transaction is
valued at $160 million (including outstanding stock options). Following
consummation of the tender offer, Furon intends to acquire any remaining Medex
shares in a cash merger at the same price as paid in the tender offer. The
merger agreement and tender offer have been approved by the boards of directors
of each Company.

Net Sales for the three months ended September 30, 1996 increased $565,000 or
two percent over the same period of the previous year. Net sales from domestic
operations decreased $908,000 or six percent to $14,916,000 while sales from the
Company's European operations increased $1,474,000 or nineteen percent to
$9,347,000.


                     

<PAGE>   11
The decrease in domestic sales consists of decreases in critical care
accessories of $156,000 and in infusion systems of $752,000. Critical care
accessories sales decreased due to decreases in sales of cath lab and pressure
monitoring products partially offset by increased sales of fluid & drug
products. Cath lab sales were negatively impacted by backorders caused by
manufacturing delays. Sales of infusion systems decreased in all areas but the
decrease is most significant in the large volume pump product (LVP) line.

European sales increased $1,474,000 primarily due to increases in procedure
packs and the fluid & drug product line. The procedure pack increase is
primarily due to the growing pack business and due to a portion of the
backorders existing at June 30, 1996 being filled. Decreases in foreign currency
exchange rates had the effect of reducing reported sales by $366,000

</TABLE>


Gross Margin as a percent of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1997
decreased to 46.3% from the 50.9% reported in the previous year. Domestic
margins decreased 6 percentage points while the European margins decreased 1.9
percentage points.

Domestic margins decreased to 46.4% due to the increases in product costs and
due to the product mix. Approximately five percentage points of the decrease are
due to increases in costs over the fiscal 1996 standards due to increases in
overhead, labor and material costs. Other items negatively impacting the margin
are the mix of products sold during the quarter and pricing pressures.

European margins decreased to 47.1% from 49.0% reported in the previous year.
This decrease is primarily due to pricing pressures, increased costs and a
change in product mix to include more procedure pack sales which carry a lower
margin.

decrease in domestic operating expenses and a $26,000 increase in European
operating expenses.

The domestic decrease consists of a $759,000 decrease in selling and
administrative expenses offset by a $500,000 increase in restructuring
expenses. The decrease in selling, research and administrative expenses is due
to decreased selling as the result of open positions and cost containment
practices and decreases in administrative expenses due to legal fees and
professional services.

The restructuring expenses recorded during the quarter of $741,000 represent
the final costs associated with the Company's "turnaround program". This
program, for the domestic operations, is focused on a number of efficiency and
organizational measures including "right sizing" the organization, developing
management tools to achieve consistent performance, creating new programs to
manage inventories, improving cost competitiveness, and developing bench
marking and "best of class" measures to track Company performance. The nature of
the items included in the $741,000 recorded in the quarter is discussed in Note
2 of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements".

The total cost of the turnaround program was $4,382,000. Management estimates
the "turnaround program" will result in approximately $4,000,000 to $5,000,000
in annualized savings for the Company. The savings associated with the plan are
expected to be primarily achieved by reducing salaried personnel in the
manufacturing, sales and administrative areas and by achieving greater
manufacturing efficiencies. Approximately 50 positions were eliminated during
the program. The annualized salaries and fringe benefits associated with these
positions total approximately $2,300,000.

The restructuring expenses of $241,000 in the prior year relate to the closing
of the Denver facility which was announced in October, 1994. The closing of
this facility and the integration of all functions and product lines into the
Columbus and Atlanta operations was finalized during the quarter ended December
31, 1995.

Reported European operating expenses increased $26,000. However, decreases in
the foreign currency exchange rates had the effect of reducing the reported
expenses by $127,000. Excluding the effect of currency, the increase is due to
increased selling expenses due primarily to increased sales.

</TABLE>

The increase in other income for the three months ended September 30, 1996, is
due to the Company recording a gain on the sale of its WalkMed ambulatory
infusion pump product line of approximately $3,100,000. Investment income has
increased approximately $67,000 due to an increase in investable cash. The
Company also recorded foreign currency exchange losses of $67,000 in the
current quarter versus losses of $104,000 in the prior year.

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

Net working capital at September 30, 1996 increased $5,773,000 over the working
capital at June 30, 1996. The current ratio was $3.73 to 1.00 at September 30,
1996 as compared to 3.61 to 1.00 at June 30, 1996.

Property additions of approximately $1,043,000 primarily relate to the
acquisition of machinery and equipment. Management believes that currently
available cash, investments and cash provided from future operations will be
sufficient to finance these and other future capital expenditures.

The Company during the quarter borrowed $4,000,000 through the issuance of
Industrial Revenue Bonds. The bonds bear interest at a weekly adjustable rate
and mature in June, 2016. Annual principal payments of $200,000 are scheduled
beginning in July, 1997.

Following any purchase of shares of Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the 
tender offer contemplated by the Merger Agreement (See Note 4., Subsequent 
Event), the Company will be obligated to purchase for the same amount paid in 
the tender offer (currently set at $23.50 per share) all shares owned by 
officers and directors of the Company, and to pay the same amount less the 
exercise price of all stock options surrendered to the Company by officers, 
directors and employees (or former employees) of the Company. Such payments for 
these shares and options are expected to total approximately $25.4 million and 
will be funded out of the Company's working capital and, if necessary, funds 
provided by Furon.

MANAGEMENT'S OUTLOOK
- --------------------

Management anticipates that the Company's European operations will continue to
post increases in sales, and profits are expected to be in line with fiscal
year 1996 barring any material unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange
rates. Domestic operations are expected to post improved performance over
fiscal 1996. Domestic sales are expected to show a modest increase; however,
they are expected to continue to be impacted by pricing pressures in the
market, especially in infusion systems. The Company plans to introduce two new
products in the second half of fiscal 1997.

Profits for fiscal year 1997 over fiscal year 1996 are expected to improve, as
the savings associated with the "turnaround program" are experienced. However,
the domestic operations will continue to experience production related
variances which will affect the Company's performance. The Company will
continue to pursue opportunities, including product line extensions through
acquisitions and strategic alliances, to strengthen the Company's product
offering in strategic markets. If the acquisition of the Company by Furon
Company occurs, as anticipated, management expects to develop new medical 
products and expand on a global basis.

                        AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         This Amendment to the original Employment Agreement, dated May 10,
1992, between Medex, Inc. (the "Company") and Michael J. Barilla (the
"Employee") is hereby effective as of the date of execution herein.

                                    Recitals

A.       WHEREAS, Employee, who previously served as Vice President and acting
         Chief Financial Officer, has recently been elected Senior Vice
         President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company and the Company
         recognizes that Employee is a valuable resource for the Company and the
         Company desires to be assured of the continued service of Employee; and

B.       WHEREAS, Employee has concerns about the continuation of his
         employment and/or his status and responsibilities with the
         Company in the event of a possible or threatened change in
         control of the Company; and

C.       WHEREAS, the Company is concerned about the possible effect on Employee
         of the uncertainties created by any proposed or threatened change of
         control, whether approved by the Board of Directors or otherwise, and
         the possibility that Employee may be approached by others with
         employment opportunities.

D.       WHEREAS, Employee is willing to continue to serve as Senior Vice

                                  PRESS RELEASE

                          FURON, MEDEX SIGN MERGER PACT
               IN TRANSACTION VALUED AT APPROXIMATELY $160 MILLION

         Laguna Niquel, CA--November 13, 1996--Furon Company (NYSE:FCY),
headquartered in Laguna Niquel, California, and Medex, Inc. (NASDAQ:MDEX) of
Hilliard, Ohio, today announced they have signed a definitive merger agreement
under which FCY, Inc., Furon's subsidiary, will commence a tender offer to
acquire all of Medex's outstanding shares for $23.50 per share. The total
transaction is valued at $160 million (including outstanding stock options). The
purchase price represents a premium of about 59% over the average trading price
of the last 30 days. Following consummation of the tender offer, Furon intends
to acquire any remaining Medex shares in a cash merger at the same price as paid
in the tender offer.

         The merger agreement and tender offer have been unanimously approved by
the board of directors of each company.

         Consummation of the tender offer is subject to customary terms and
conditions, including acceptance by the holders of at least 60% of the shares of
Medex along with certain regulatory approvals and the expiration of the waiting
period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. The tender offer will be made pursuant
to definitive documents to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Dean Witter Reynolds Inc. is Dealer Manager for the offer, and MacKenzie
Partners, Inc. is the Information Agent.

         In the event of a termination of the merger agreement due to a superior
takeover proposal or certain other circumstances, Medex would be obligated to
pay Furon a fee of approximately $8 million. Medex has granted Furon an option
to acquire 10 percent of the Medex common stock exercisable at the tender offer
price, upon termination of the merger agreement due to a superior takeover
proposal or certain other circumstances. Management shareholders
<PAGE>   2
and directors of Medex have also granted Furon an option and have agreed to sell
their shares to Medex upon completion of the tender offer.

         Medex, founded in 1959, had sales of $99.3 million for its fiscal year
ended June 30, 1996. The company manufacturers polymer-based critical care
products and infusion systems for medical and surgical applications. Medex
products are sold in more than 50 countries to hospitals and alternate care
facilities and to original equipment manufacturers serving the health care
industry worldwide.

         Furon, a leading international manufacturer of engineered polymer
components serving a number of industries, including health care, had sales of
$345 million for its fiscal year ended February 3, 1996. The company was founded
in 1955.

         J. Michael Hagan, Furon's chairman and chief executive officer, said
"The acquisition of Medex represents an important step in the implementation of
Furon's growth strategy by leveraging our materials technology and manufacturing
know how in an industry sector that is non cyclical and provides a balance to
our overall business. In addition to its strong management, sales, marketing and
manufacturing team, Medex has excellent channels to market directly to health
care providers. From this base, we can accelerate growth with new products,
product line extensions, and market penetration.

         Hagan added that Furon has secured financing commitments to complete
the transaction.

         Bradley P. Gould, president and chief executive officer of Medex, said
"Joining forces with Furon provides added resources that will permit us to
develop new medical products and expand our market penetration on a global
basis. The transaction signifies a quantum stride in our quest to attain greater
market recognition
<PAGE>   3
for our products in the neonatal and pediatric intensive care and
the adult critical care and anesthesia markets."

         Furon currently manufacturers a line of shunts, catheters, tubing and
other medical products primarily for original equipment manufacturers. Its
medical products comprised approximately three percent of the company's total
sales during fiscal 1996.

         Medex designs, manufacturers and distributes critical care products and
infusion systems for a wide range of medical and surgical applications. Critical
care products are utilized in intravenous therapies such as fluid and drug
administration, as well as pressure monitoring and cardiac catheterization.
Infusion systems include a range of infusion pumps designed to deliver
prescribed doses of drugs and fluids to patients. With corporate headquarters in
Columbus, the company has domestic operations in Ohio and Georgia. Medex also
operates subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Germany and France. Medex stock is
traded over-the-counter on the Nasdaq National Market under the MDEX symbol.

         Furon is the world's leader in engineered polymer components for the
industrial marketplace. The company serves five key markets: electronics,
processing industries, capital goods, transportation, and health care.

         Certain statements contained in this release are forward looking and
may involve risk and uncertainties including, but not limited to, product demand
and market acceptance risks, the effect of economic conditions, the impact of
competitive products and pricing, product development, and other risks disclosed
in the company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
