                 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders,

We have examined the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Compex SA
and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the related
consolidated statements of income, of changes in financial position
(cash flow) and of changes in capital stock, and unappropriated earnings
(shareholders' equity) for each of the years then ended, all expressed in
Swiss Francs. Our examinations of these statements were made in accordance
with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States and
accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such other
auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly the financial position of Compex SA and its subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of their operations and the
changes in their financial position (cash flow) for each of the years then
ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
Switzerland.

Accounting principles generally accepted in Switzerland vary in certain
significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. The application of the latter would have affected the
determination of consolidated net income expressed in Swiss Francs for each
of the two years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the determination of
consolidated shareholders' equity and consolidated financial position also
expressed in Swiss Francs as at December 31, 1998 and 1997 to the extent
summarized in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     Items included within the Statement of income were translated using the
     average exchange rate for the year. The average exchange rate applied was
     CHF 1 = French Fr 4.12 and 3.88 for 1998 and 1997 respectively.

     The translation of balance sheet items resulted in an exchange rate
     difference of CHF 5,405 and Swiss Fr 8,041 in 1998 and 1997 respectively.
     Such differences were included within foreign currency translation
     adjustment in the relevant years. The cumulative translation adjustment for
     periods prior to January 1, 1997 are included within retained earnings.

6.   NON CURRENT ASSETS - VALUATION PRINCIPLES

     Property, plant & equipment and intangible assets are valued at cost less
     accumulated depreciation. All assets are depreciated or amortised on a
     straight line basis with the exception of research and development costs
     relating to 2nd Generation products which are amortised using a reducing
     balance method.

     Any variation in depreciation and amortisation rates used by individual
     Group entities was not adjusted for as the amounts of such variation are
     not considered material for Group reporting purposes.

     Set out below are the depreciation and amortisation rates applied by the
     Group:

9.   SUMMARY OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SWISS LAW AND US GENERALLY ACCEPTED
     ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (US GAAP)

     The Group's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance
     with generally accepted accounting principles under Swiss Law. The
     accounting principles used differ in certain respects from those accepted
     under US GAAP. Differences, which have a significant effect on the
     consolidated net income and shareholders' equity of the Group, are set out
     below. While this is not a comprehensive summary of all differences between
     Swiss Law and US GAAP, other differences would not have a significant
     effect on the consolidated net income or shareholders' equity of the Group.

     ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     INVENTORY

     Inventory is accounted for in accordance with Swiss Law using an average
     cost basis. Under Swiss Law, in the event the current cost of inventory is
     deemed to be lower than the average cost, an impairment provision is
     required. Under US GAAP inventory is recorded at the lower of cost and net
     realisable value. Accordingly, adjustments have been made to reflect these
     differences.

     The Group's accounting policy, under Swiss Law, requires certain of the
     Group's assets (finished goods), listed below, to be recorded in inventory.

     - Rental equipment;
     - After sales replacement equipment; and
     - Demonstration equipment.

     Under US GAAP such assets would be treated as property, plant and
     equipment and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful
     economic life of 5 years. Accordingly, adjustments have been made to
     reflect these differences.

     MARKETING EXPENDITURE

     The Group's accounting policy, under Swiss Law, requires certain
     marketing expenditure to be capitalised and amortised. Under US GAAP all
     such expenditure should be expensed in the period incurred. Accordingly,
     adjustments have been made to reflect these differences.

<PAGE>

COMPEX SA, ECUBLENS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURE

     The Group's accounting policy, under Swiss Law, requires certain
     research and development expenditure to be capitalised and amortised over
     the economic life of the product range developed. Under US GAAP, the Group,
     in order to be consistent with its parent's accounting policy, expenses in
     the period incurred all research and development expenditure. Accordingly,
     adjustments have been made to reflect these differences.

     DEFERRED TAXES

     Under Swiss Law deferred taxes are not accounted for. Under US GAAP
     deferred taxes are accounted for on all timing differences and a valuation
     allowance is established in respect of those deferred taxes where it is
     more likely than not some portion will remain unrealised. A calculation of
     the effect of accounting for deferred tax is included within the
     reconciliation set out in this footnote.

     INTEREST FREE LOAN (RELATED PARTY)

     Under Swiss Law the interest free loan provided to the Group by its
     shareholders is recorded at nominal value. Under US GAAP an imputed
     interest charge should be calculated using average interest rates
     prevailing at the time the loan was received. The effective premium
     obtained by the Group should be recorded directly to shareholders' equity.
     The effective premium is amortised over the period of the loan by recording
     an interest charge. An adjustment is included within the reconciliation set
     out in this footnote.

     PENSION OBLIGATIONS

     Under Swiss law the Group's pension plan, which is administered by an
     independent pension fund, is considered to be a defined contribution plan.
     Under US GAAP, due to the hybrid nature of the plan whereby participants
     are entitled to a defined rate of interest on contributions made, the plan
     is considered a defined benefit plan. Due to the absence of information
     relating to 1997, the funded status has only been assessed as at
     December 31, 1998. Therefore, no effect has been recorded in the
     reconciliation of net income. Any adjustment that may have been required is
     considered not to have had a material impact on the Group's financial
     position and results of operations.

     NET INCOME RECONCILIATION

     The effect on net income of differences identified between Swiss Law and US
     GAAP for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998 is set out below:

Management considers that CHF'000 25 of the net operating losses, incurred by
the Swiss Company, referred to above will be offset against future taxable
income generated in the fiscal year ending December 31, 1999. The remaining
net operating losses, which were predominantly incurred by the Group's French
subsidiaries, is required to be offset against taxable income to be generated
within a maximum period of 5 years.

Of the amounts set out above CHF'000 170 and 0 are considered to be current
deferred tax liabilities and assets respectively as at December 31, 1998. The
remainder is considered to be non-current.

                          Rehabilicare, Inc. and COMPEX SA


                Pro Forma Financial Information - Narrative Overview
                                     (Unaudited)


The following unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 30, 1999
and statements of operations for the year ended June 30, 1999, give effect to
the acquisition of COMPEX SA by Rehabilicare, Inc. ("the Company") using the
purchase method of accounting. The unaudited pro forma combined financial
statements combine the historical consolidated balance sheet and statement of
operations of the Company and the historical consolidated balance sheet and
statement of income of COMPEX SA, adjusted for presentation in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
(Collectively "the Entities"). The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet
as of June 30, 1999, assumes the Entities were combined as of June 30, 1999.
The unaudited pro forma combined statement of income for the year ended June
30, 1999, assume the Entities were combined effective July 1, 1998.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements give effect to (i) the
acquisition of COPMEX SA, (ii) the payment of $11.0 million in cash in
connection with the acquisition of COMPEX SA, and (iii) other adjustments
described in the accompanying notes.

The fair value of the consideration will be allocated to the assets and
liabilities acquired based upon the fair values of such assets and
liabilities at the acquisition date and may be revised for a period of up to
one year thereafter. The preliminary estimates and assumptions as to the fair
value of the assets and liabilities acquired is based upon information
available at the date of preparation of these unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated financial statements and will be adjusted upon the final
determination of such fair values.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are not necessarily
indicative of the financial position or results of operations of
Rehabilicare, Inc. as they may be in the future or as they might have been
for the periods presented had the Entities actually been combined effective
July 1, 1998 or as of the date of the unaudited pro forma balance sheet. The
unaudited pro forma combined financial statements and accompanying notes
should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of
Rehabilicare, Inc. as filed on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 1999,
and the historical financial statements of COMPEX SA, including the notes to
such financial statements, for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, as
set forth in this Form 8-K.

                 NOTES TO PRO FORMA COMBINED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
                          FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1999
                                   (UNAUDITED)


(1)   Reflects the historical results of operations of Rehabilicare Inc. as
      derived from the Company's audited statement of operations for the year
      ended June 30, 1999 as filed on Form 10-KSB.

(2)   Reflects the historical results of operations of COMPEX SA as derived
      from the historical unaudited statement of income of COMPEX SA for the
      year ended June 30, 1999, adjusted for presentation in accordance with
      generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The results
      of operations of COMPEX SA are measured using the local currency as the
      functional currency. Income statement accounts are translated at the
      average rates of exchange prevailing during the year ended June 30, 1999.

(3)   Reflects the annual interest charge on $11.0 million of debt at 8.14%
      incurred to finance the acquisition of COMPEX SA.

(4)   Reflects the annual amortization charge of goodwill on a straight-line
      basis over 20 years and other intangible assets (existing technology and
      workforce) over 8 and 5 years, respectively.

(5)   Adjustment reflects the estimated income tax impact of the above
      adjustments (note that the amortization of the goodwill is not deductible
      for income tax reporting purposes).

(6)   The pro forma combined statement of income excludes the impact of the
      $645,000 adjustment to record COMPEX SA inventory at estimated fair value
      at the acquisition date. This adjustment will be recorded as cost of sales
      upon the sale of the inventory, which is expected to occur within the 12
      months succeeding the transaction.
