                     Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

1.         General:

           These  financial  statements  should be read in conjunction  with the
           notes to the  financial  statements  contained  in the latest  annual
           report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1996.



2.         Results of Operations:

           In the opinion of management,  the accompanying  unaudited  condensed
           financial  statements  contain all  adjustments  (consisting  only of
           normal recurring  accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial
           position as of June 30, 1997, the condensed  statements of income for
           the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, and the
           statements  of cash flows for the six months  ended June 30, 1997 and
           1996. These financial  statements  should be read in conjunction with
           the  financial  statements  and  notes  thereto  for the  year  ended
           December 31, 1996  included in the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form
           10-KSB.  The accounting  policies used in preparing  these  financial
           statements are consistent with those applied in the December 31, 1996
           financial statements.



3.         Income Per Share:

           In February 1997,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued
           Statement  of  Financial   Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS")  No.  128,
           "Earnings per Share" which  changes the  methodology  of  calculating
           earnings per share.  SFAS No. 128 requires the  disclosure of diluted
           earnings per share  regardless of its difference  from basic earnings
           per share.  The company plans to adopt SFAS No. 128 in December 1997.
           Early adoption is not permitted. Had the company adopted SFAS No. 128
           as of June 30, 1997, the related per share  disclosure for both basic
           and diluted earnings per share would have been:

                          AMERICAN MEDICAL ALERT CORP.
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                    (for the Six Months Ended June 30, 1997)

The following  discussion and analysis  provides  information  which  management
believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company's results
of  operations  and  financial  condition.  The  discussion  should  be  read in
conjunction with the consolidated  financial  statements contained in the latest
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB dated December 31, 1996.

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

On March 27, 1997, the Company  renegotiated  its $ 1,500,000 credit note (based
upon 75% of eligible accounts  receivable and 25% of inventory,  as defined) and
extended it until April 30, 1998. As of July 28, 1997, $ 350,000 was outstanding
under this note. The Company's working capital on June 30, 1997 was $ 2,451,315.
During 1997 the Company  anticipates  that it will make capital  investments  of
approximately  $ 1,000,000 of which  approximately  $ 470,000 has been  expended
through June 30, 1997 for the  purchase and  production  of  additional  systems
which the Company  intends to rent.  The Company  believes that its present cash
and working capital position,  its borrowing availability and future anticipated
income will be  sufficient  to meet its cash and working  capital  needs for the
foreseeable future.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Revenue from services increased $ 270,765 for the six months ended June 30, 1997
as  compared  to the same  period in 1996,  an  increase  of 9%.  This  increase
resulted  from  the  expansion  of  the  Company's  customer  base  for  monthly
monitoring  and leasing  services.  Costs related to services for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 were 38% and 34% respectively.

Revenue  from  services  increased $ 134,256 for the three months ended June 30,
1997 as compared to the same  period in 1996,  an increase of 9%. This  increase
resulted  from  the  expansion  of  the  Company's  customer  base  for  monthly
monitoring and leasing services.  Costs related to services for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 were 38% and 35% respectively.

Revenue from product sales decreased $ 217,095 for the six months ended June 30,
1997 as compared to the same period in 1996,  a decrease of 43%.  This  decrease
was primarily due to the  rescheduling  of sales to retirement  communities  and
assisted living facilities. The gross profit on product sales for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 was 7% and 32% respectively.

Revenue from product  sales  decreased $ 159,780 for the three months ended June
30,  1997 as  compared  to the same  period in 1996,  a  decrease  of 47%.  This
decrease  was  primarily  due  to  the   rescheduling  in  sales  to  retirement
communities  and assisted living  facilities.  The gross profit on product sales
for the three months  ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 was 8% and 30%  respectively.
This decline was  attributable  to increased  fixed  production  costs and sales
concessions made to a major new customer.

                                        6


<PAGE>



As a result of these concessions,  a contract to purchase significant quantities
of new product was achieved.

Interest  expense  for the six months  ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 was $ 23,934
and $ 25,236  respectively.  Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses as
compared as a  percentage  of total  revenues  for the six months ended June 30,
1997 and 1996 were 38% and 36% respectively.

Interest  expense for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 was $ 11,104
and  $10,125  respectively.  Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses as
compared as a percentage  of total  revenues for the three months ended June 30,
1997 and 1996 were 35% and 32% respectively.

The proposal to amend the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation to increase
the total number of shares of capital stock which the  Corporation has authority
to issue from 10,000,000 to 11,000,000 and to create a class of stock designated
as  preferred  stock with a par value of $ .01 per share which would  consist of
1,000,000  shares,  received  the  affirmative  vote of a majority of the shares
issued, outstanding and entitled to vote thereon.

The proposal  authorizing that 750,000 shares of the Corporation's  Common Stock
be reserved for the issuance  upon the exercise of options  being  granted under
the American Medical Alert 1997 Stock Option Plan was approved.

The Company's  shareholders  voted with respect to the ratification and approval
of Margolin,  Winer & Evens, LLP as the Company's  independent  auditors for the
year ending December 31, 1997.  Approximately 98% of the votes cast with respect
to the ratification and approval voted in favor of the proposal and accordingly,
the proposal was approved.
