                              ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



       Nasdaq Stock Market  Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(3)  requires each issuer to
maintain net  tangible  assets of at least $4 million.  Net  tangible  assets is
defined  as total  assets  (including  the  values of  patents,  copyrights  and
trademarks, but excluding the value of goodwill) less total liabilities.

       Utah Medical  Products,  Inc.  (UTMD) has reported its intangible  assets
inclusive  of values of  patents,  copyrights  and  trademarks  and the value of
goodwill which  resulted from using the purchase  method of accounting in making
the 1997  Columbia  Medical,  Inc.  and the 1998 Bard/  Gesco  neonatal  product
acquisitions.  In order to allow shareholders to calculate "net tangible assets"
as defined above,  UTMD now reports its  intangible  assets divided into the two
portions.

       Furthermore,  UTMD completed a self tender offer on September 15, 2000 in
which it  repurchased  about 1.12 million shares of its  outstanding  stock at a
cost of $9.2 million.  The  transaction  reduced  retained  earnings by the $9.2
million value of the repurchased  shares. In addition,  because the Company used
its bank line of credit to finance  the  offer,  liabilities  increased  by $9.2
million on the offer closing date.  As a result,  UTMD's net tangible  assets as
defined  above on the most recent  September  30, 2000  reporting  date  slipped
briefly below the $4 million threshold.

       UTMD is now reporting  its October 31, 2000 balance sheet to  demonstrate
it remains in compliance with the Nasdaq Rule.  Nasdaq Stock Market has reviewed
UTMD's case and  determined  it will not issue a  non-compliance  letter in this
situation.
