      Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial

          (filed herewith)

      Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information
          for the Years Ended March 31, 1997, 1996, 1995, and 1994 (set forth 
          under the caption "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated 
          Financial Information" in the Proxy Statement and incorporated 
          herein by reference)

    The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
information gives effect to the transactions among the Company, Marquest Medical
Products, Inc. ("Marquest"), Vital Signs, Inc. ("VSI") and VSI Acquisition
Corporation ("Newco"). Pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger
dated as of March 14, 1997, between Marquest, VSI, and Newco (the "Merger
Agreement"), VSI acquired Marquest, effective July 28, 1997, upon the merger of
Newco, a wholly-owned subsidiary of VSI, with and into Marquest (the "Merger").
At the effective time of the Merger, all of the issued and outstanding shares of
Marquest Common Stock were converted into the right to receive $0.797 in cash
per share and Marquest became a wholly-owned subsidiary of VSI. As a result, the
Company received $5,747,320 in exchange for its 7,211,192 shares of Marquest
Common Stock and $309,260 through the exercise of warrants to purchase Marquest
Common Stock. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of 

                                    2

<PAGE>

the Scherer Healthcare Inducement Agreement dated as of March 14, 1997, 
between the Company, Marquest, and VSI, VSI purchased from the Company 
certain assets of the Company leased or licensed by the Company to Marquest 
and used by Marquest in the manufacture and sale of arterial blood gas 
products (the "ABG Assets") and the Company entered into a covenant not to 
compete with VSI in the manufacture and sale of arterial blood gas products 
for a period of three years. VSI paid the Company an aggregate of $5,860,000 
for the ABG Assets and the covenant not to compete. The Merger, the sale of 
the ABG Assets by the Company to VSI, and the execution of the covenant not 
to compete are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Scherer 
Transactions."
 
    The operations of Marquest are included in the Company's Medical Device and
Surgical/Safety Disposables Segment along with the operations of Scherer
Healthcare, Ltd. ("Scherer Ltd."), a limited partnership that was 65% owned by
the Company, whose assets and businesses were sold in two separate transactions
in October 1995 and October 1996. Effective July 28, 1997, the operations of the
Medical Device and Surgical/Safety Disposables Segment will be accounted for as
a discontinued segment, and accordingly, the operations of Marquest and Scherer
Ltd. will be segregated and reported as discontinued operations in the Company's
consolidated financial statements after such date.

    The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet gives
effect to the Scherer Transactions as if they had occurred on June 30, 1997, and
the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of continuing
operations for the three months ended June 30, 1997, present the operating
results of the Company as if the Scherer Transactions had occurred on April 1,
1997. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet and operating statement are based on
previously described financial information of the Company as of and for the
three months ended June 30, 1997, and the pro forma adjustments described in the
Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information
included herein.
 
    The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is
presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of
the operating results or financial position that actually would have occurred if
the Scherer Transactions had been consummated as of such dates in accordance
with the assumptions set forth below, nor is it necessarily indicative of future
operating results for financial position.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
    (a)  Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Marquest 
         shareholders received $0.797 per share for each outstanding share 
         of Marquest Common Stock. In total, the Company received 
         approximately $6,057,000 in cash for the 7,211,192 shares of 
         Marquest Common Stock that it owned directly and the warrants that 
         it held for the purchase of an additional 6,580,000 shares of 
         Marquest Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share. The 
         Company used a portion of the proceeds from the Merger to repay the 
         balance of a promissory note ($1,868,000 as of June 30, 1997).

    (b)  Represents the $5,860,000 in cash proceeds the Company 
         received in exchange for the ABG Assets and the covenant not to 
         compete. The purchase price for the ABG Assets was $5,625,000 and 
         the consideration for the covenant not to compete was $235,000. The 
         proceeds for the covenant not to compete will be reported as 
         deferred income and amortized over a three year period from July 
         28, 1997.
 
    (c)  Reflects the pro forma effects of the Company's 51% 
         interest in Marquest as if the Merger had occurred on June 30, 
         1997. Marquest has been included in the Company's consolidated 
         financial statements since the first quarter of fiscal 1994. 
         Minority interest represents the equity interest in Marquest of 
         outside investors.
          
    (d)  Reflects the accrual of estimated transaction costs 
         associated with the Scherer Transactions. Due to their 
         non-recurring nature, the estimated transaction costs associated 
         with the Scherer Transactions were not considered in the pro forma 
         condensed consolidated statements of continuing operations for the 
         three months ended June 30, 1997.

    (e)  Reflects the estimated income tax effect from the Scherer 
         Transactions.
