                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

     1.   ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The amounts set forth in the preceding financial statements are unaudited
     as of and for the periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, but in the
     opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal
     recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results for
     the periods presented. Such results are not necessarily indicative of
     results for the full year. The significant accounting policies and certain
     financial information which are normally included in financial statements
     prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but
     which are not required for interim reporting purposes, have been omitted.
     The accompanying financial statements of the Company should be read in
     conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the
     Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 "Disclosure about Segments of an
     Enterprise and Related Information." This statement, which must be adopted
     by the company for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1999, establishes new
     standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual and
     interim financial statements. Under SFAS No. 131, operating segments are
     determined consistent with the way management organizes and evaluates
     financial information internally for making decisions and assessing
     performance. SFAS No. 131 also requires related disclosures about products,
     geographic areas, and major customers. Implementation of this disclosure
     standard will not affect the company's results of operations, cash flows or
     financial position.

     2.  MERGER

     On March 17, 1998, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger executed by
     Rehabilicare on December 1, 1997 and approved by shareholders on March 17,
     1998, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rehabilicare was merged (the "Merger")
     into Staodyn, Inc. ("Staodyn"). As a result of the Merger, each outstanding
     share of common stock, $0.01 par value of Staodyn ("Staodyn Common Stock")
     became 0.829 of a share of Rehabilicare Common Stock (with cash paid in
     lieu of fractional shares) and Staodyn became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
     Rehabilicare. Rehabilicare issued a total of 5,521,111 shares of its common
     stock as a result of the Merger. Rehabilicare also assumed the obligations
     to issue shares under options to purchase 383,083 shares of Staodyn Common
     Stock (317,575 shares of Rehabilicare Common Stock) and warrants to
     purchase 130,000 shares (107,770 shares of Rehabilicare Common Stock).
     Options to purchase 239,410 shares of Staodyn Common Stock (198,471 shares
     of Rehabilicare Common Stock) subsequently expired without being exercised.
     The merger was recorded using the pooling-of-interests method.

     3.  ASSET ACQUISITION

     On August 6, 1998, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets
     (consisting primarily of finished goods inventory and receivables) of the
     Homecare business unit of Henley Healthcare, Inc. ("Henley") for a purchase
     price of $3,650,000 paid in cash at closing. The cash paid was obtained
     from existing funds and borrowings under the Company's bank line of credit,
     including a $2,500,000 term loan payable over three years.

      ITEM 2.      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF 
                   OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION


     On March 17, 1998, Rehabilicare merged with Staodyn, Inc. in a transaction
     accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. As a result of that merger, the
     financial statements and related notes, and this discussion, are based on
     the combined financial position and results of operations as if the
     companies had been combined throughout the three months ended September 30,
     1997.

     On August 6, 1998, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
     the Homecare business unit of Henley Healthcare. Accordingly, the Company's
     balance sheet at September 30, 1998 includes the assets acquired and the
     indebtedness incurred to finance this acquisition, and the results of
     operations include those operations from August 6, 1998.


     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following table sets forth information from the statements of
     operations as a percentage of revenue for the periods indicated:

</TABLE>

     Revenue was $9,084,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1999, a 10% increase
     from $8,257,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1998. Net sales and rental
     revenue from direct distribution to patients increased 14% to $7,797,000
     from $6,831,000 and accounted for approximately 86% of total revenue for
     the first quarter in both fiscal years. Approximately $686,000 of the
     additional revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 represented sales by
     the Homecare business unit of Henley after its acquisition by the Company
     on August 6, 1998. The remainder of the increase was due to the continuing
     growth in the number of new patients. Revenue from the Company's
     traditional dealer business, excluding international, decreased by 10% in
     the first quarter of fiscal 1999 from the first quarter of fiscal 1998 due
     primarily to decreased purchases by several key dealers. International
     sales were minimal in the first quarter of both fiscal years.


<PAGE>

     Gross profit increased 16% to $6,639,000 or 73% of revenue in the first
     quarter of fiscal 1999 compared with $5,718,000 or 69% of revenue in the
     first quarter of fiscal 1998. Margins on dealer business were 58% compared
     with 52% in the first quarter of fiscal 1998, reflecting an increase in
     sales of more profitable products. Margins on direct sales and rentals were
     75% for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 compared with 74% in fiscal 1998.
     This improvement resulted from an increased volume of higher margin
     accessory sales.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 5% to $5,180,000 in
     the first quarter of fiscal 1999 from $4,953,000 in fiscal 1998. As a
     percent of revenue, those expenses decreased from 60% to 57%. The decrease
     resulted primarily from a decrease in labor costs due to the consolidation
     of facilities in June 1998.

     Operating income was $1,145,000 in fiscal 1999 compared with $529,000 in
     fiscal 1998. Net income was $639,000 in fiscal 1999 compared with $380,000
     for the first quarter of fiscal 1998. The effective tax rate of 38% for
     fiscal 1999 was higher than the 18% effective rate for fiscal 1998 due to
     the release of the valuation allowance during the first quarter of fiscal
     1998.


     FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company used cash of $591,000 in operations during the first quarter of
     fiscal 1999. The Company used $229,000 of cash in the same quarter of
     fiscal 1998. Cash was used during the fiscal 1999 quarter to fund an
     increase of $278,000 in receivables (net of a $2,535,000 increase resulting
     from the acquisition from Henley) and a $1,246,000 increase in inventories
     (net of a $1,325,000 increase resulting from the acquisition from Henley)
     offset primarily by net income of $639,000 and an increase in accounts
     payable of $666,000. Inventories increased substantially during the first
     quarter of fiscal 1999 in order to assure continued availability of all
     Staodyn and Rehabilicare products during the consolidation of all
     manufacturing and distribution activities in the Company's New Brighton,
     Minnesota facility.

     The Company acquired $3,650,000 of assets from Henley during the quarter
     ended September 30, 1998, consisting primarily of finished goods inventory
     and receivables. The cash paid for that acquisition is shown as an
     investment in the statement of cash flows and the increases in receivables
     and inventories reflected on such statement are net of the receivables and
     inventories acquired from Henley. During the first quarter of fiscal 1998,
     the Company provided an additional $1,168,000 for uncollectible receivables
     and wrote off $454,000 of accounts it considered uncollectible. As a
     percent of receivables, the reserve decreased from 20% in fiscal 1998 to
     19% in fiscal 1999.

     The reserve for uncollectible accounts is determined after considering
     various factors including historical trends, relationship and experience
     with insurance or other third party payors and patient responsibility for
     charges. The Company believes that its current reserve for uncollectible
     accounts is adequate. However, it will be necessary to continue maintaining
     a significant reserve to cover instances where the extent of insurance
     coverage cannot be verified prior to distributing home units to patients.

     Financing activities provided cash of $3,303,000 in fiscal 1999 compared to
     a use of cash of $302,000 in fiscal 1998. The Company repaid $319,000 of
     long-term debt in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to $142,000 in
     fiscal 1998. Effective August 5, 1998, the Company amended its Credit
     Agreement to increase the amount of credit under its revolving line from
     $2,000,000 to $2,500,000 and to borrow $2,500,000 under a term loan due in
     August 2001. Borrowings under the line were $1,100,000 on September 30,
     1998. The Company anticipates that cash requirements during fiscal 1999
     will be less than its available credit facility.

     YEAR 2000 ISSUE

     The Company has conducted an assessment of all its Year 2000 issues
     involving its technology systems over the last two years. Currently, the
     Company has successfully installed Year 2000 compliant versions of software
     from its two major vendors. In addition, the Company is continuing to
     analyze and modify all supporting software, bringing all software into
     compliance. The Company believes that implementation will be complete and
     Year 2000 compliant by June 1999.

     The Company has completed its assessment of the Year 2000 issue surrounding
     its engineering and manufacturing product applications. The Company's
     electrotherapy products are each controlled with electro-mechanical and
     microprocessor hardware mechanisms which do not have any time-dating
     requirements that would be affected by Year 2000. In addition, these
     devices do not interface with other devices and therefore remain Year 2000
     compliant.

     The Company is continuing to examine its relationship with third parties
     whose failure to become Year 2000 compliant in a timely manner, if at all,
     could have an effect on the Company. The Company will circulate
     questionnaires to all of its significant vendors and customers with respect
     to such companies' Year 2000 compliance programs and status. In addition,
     follow-up conversations will be conducted with key customers and vendors.
     The Company currently is in the process of evaluating this effort and
     expects to request more detailed and updated information from its principal
     vendors and customers during the next two quarters.

     External and internal costs specifically associated with modifying internal
     use software for Year 2000 compliance are expensed as incurred. To date,
     those costs have not been material. Based upon currently available
     information, the Company does not expect the costs of addressing potential
     Year 2000 problems to have a material adverse impact on the company's
     financial position, results of operations or liquidity in future periods.
     The Company plans to devote the necessary resources to resolve all
     significant Year 2000 issues in a timely manner.
