BOVIE MEDICAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The  consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of Bovie  Medical
Corporation and its wholly owned  subsidiary Aaron Medical  Industries,  Inc. In
the  opinion  of  management,  the  interim  financial  statements  reflect  all
adjustments,  consisting of only normal recurring items, which are necessary for
a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented.

The results for interim  periods are not  necessarily  indicative of results for
the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
significant  accounting policies and the other notes to the financial statements
included in the Corporation's 1998 Annual Report to the SEC on Form 10-KSB.


NOTE 2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The  preparation  of  consolidated   financial  statements  in  conformity  with
generally accepted  accounting  principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Fair Values of financial instruments

Cash and cash equivalents. Holdings of highly liquid investments with maturities
of three months or less when  purchased are  considered to be cash  equivalents.
The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash  equivalents
approximates its fair values.

Accounts  receivable  and  accounts  payable.  The  carrying  amount of accounts
receivable and accounts  payable on the balance sheet  approximates  fair value.
Short  term and long  term  debt.  The  carrying  amount  of the bonds and notes
payable, and amounts due to shareholders approximates fair value.


Inventories

Inventories  are  stated  at the  lower of cost or  market.  Cost is  determined
principally  on the average cost method.  Inventories  at March 31, 1999 were as
follows: 

     Raw materials                                     $ 1,021,458
     Work in process                                       196,997
     Finished goods                                        246,198

       Total                                           $ 1,464,643

NOTE 2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(CONTINUED)

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived  and assets  consist of  property,  plant and  equipment,  intangible
assets.

Property,  plant  and  equipment  are  recorded  at cost less  depreciation  and
amortization.  Depreciation  and amortization are accounted for on the straight-
line method based on  estimated  useful  lives.  The  amortization  of leasehold
improvements  is  based  on the  shorter  of the  lease  term or the life of the
improvement.  Betterment  and large  renewals which extend the life of the asset
are capitalized  whereas maintenance and repairs and small renewals are expenses
as incurred.  The  estimated  useful lives are:  machinery and  equipment,  7-15
years; buildings, 30 years; and leasehold improvements, 10-20 years.

Intangible assets consist of patent rights and goodwill. Goodwill represents the
excess of the cost of assets of the acquired  companies over the values assigned
to  net  tangible  assets.   These   intangibles  are  being  amortized  by  the
straight-line method over a 5 to 20 year period.

Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No.121,  Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
for  Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed Of. In accordance  with SFAS No.121,  the
Company reviews  long-lived assets for impairment  whenever events or changes in
business  circumstances  occur that  indicate  that the  carrying  amount of the
assets may not be recovered.

The Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets held and to be used
based on  undiscounted  cash flows and measures the  impairment,  if any,  using
discounted cash flows. Adoption of SFAS No.121 did not have a material impact on
the Company's consolidated financial position, operating results or cash flows.


Revenue Recognition and Product Warranty

Revenue  from  sales of  products  is  generally  recognized  upon  shipment  to
customers.  The Company warrants its products for one year. The estimated future
costs of warranties are not material.

Income is recognized in the financial  statements (and the customer billed) when
products are shipped from stock. Net sales are arrived at by deducting discounts
and freight from gross sales.


Environmental Remediation

The Company accrues  environmental  remediation  costs if it is probable that an
asset has been impaired or a liability incurred at the financial  statement date
and the amount can be reasonably estimated.  Environmental  compliance costs are
expenses as  incurred.  Certain  environmental  costs are  capitalized  based on
estimates and depreciated over their useful lives.

presenting  earnings  per share  ("EPS").  Specifically,  SFAS 128  replaces the
previously  required  presentation  of primary EPS with a presentation  of basis
EPS,  requires  dual  presentation  of basic and  diluted EPS on the face of the
income statement for all entities with complex capital structures,  and requires
a  reconciliation  of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation
to the financial  statements  issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997.
In 1997, the Company adopted SFAS 128.


Research and Development Costs

Only the development  costs that are purchased from another  enterprise and have
alternative future use are capitalized and are amortized over five years.


Income Taxes

The Company and its wholly-owned  subsidiary file a consolidated  federal income
tax return.

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and  liability  method.  Deferred
tax assets  and  liabilities  are  recognized  for the  future tax  consequences
attributable to differences  between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing  assets and  liabilities  and their  respective tax bases and operating
loss and tax credit  carryforwards.  Deferred  tax assets  and  liabilities  are
measured  using  enacted tax rates  expected  to apply to taxable  income in the
years in which those  temporary  differences  are  expected to be  recovered  or
settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and  liabilities  of a change in tax
rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.


Nonmonetary Transactions
 
The accounting for non-monetary assets is based on the fair values of the assets
involved.  Cost  of a  non-monetary  asset  acquired  in  exchange  for  another
non-monetary  asset is  recorded at the fair value of the asset  surrendered  to
obtain it. The difference in the costs of the assets  exchanged is recognized as
a gain or loss.  The fair value of the asset  received  is used to  measure  the
cost, if it is more clearly evident than the fair value of asset surrendered.


Stock-Based Compensation
 
The  Company  has  adopted  Accounting  Principles  Board  Opinion  25  for  its
accounting for stock based compensation. Under this policy:

1. Compensation costs are recognized as an expense over the period of employment
attributable to the employee stock options.

NOTE 2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(CONTINUED)


Stock-Based Compensation(Continued)

2. Shares  issued in  accordance  with a plan for past or future  services of an
employee are allocated between the expired costs and future costs.  Future costs
are charged to the periods in which the  services are  performed.  The pro forma
amounts of the difference  between  compensation cost included in net income and
related cost measured by the fair value based method, including tax effects, are
disclosed.


New Accounting Standards

In June  1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  SFAS  130,
"Reporting  Comprehensive  Income". SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting
and display of  comprehensive  income and its  components  (revenues,  expenses,
gains,  and  losses)  in a full set of  general  purpose  financial  statements.
Specifically,  SFAS 130  requires  that all items  that meet the  definition  of
components of comprehensive  income be reported in a financial statement for the
period in which they are recognized.  However, SFAS 130 does not specify when to
recognize or how to measure the items that make up  comprehensive  income.  SFAS
130 is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after December 15, 1997, and early
application is permitted.

Management  believes the application of SFAS 130 will not have a material effect
on the Company's future financial statements.

In April  1998,  the FASB issued SOP 98-5,  "Reporting  on the Costs of Start-up
Activities,"  which will become  effective  for the Company in fiscal  2000.  It
requires costs of start-up  activities and organization costs to be expressed as
incurred.  The Company  currently follows this approach and such costs have been
minimal in the past.

In June  1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  SFAS  131,
"Financial  Reporting for Segments of Business  Enterprise." SFAS 131 supersedes
the "industry  segment" concept of SFAS 14 with a "management  approach" concept
as the basis for  identifying  reportable  segments.  SFAS 131 is effective  for
fiscal  years  beginning  after  December  15,  1997 and  early  application  is
permitted.  Management  believes  the  application  of SFAS  131 will not have a
material effect on the Company's future financial statements.

OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

The  results of  operations  over the three  months  ended  March 31,  1999 show
increased  sales and  profitability,  as compared  to the first three  months of
1998.  The  Company's  sales  revenues  increased  by 27%,  from  $1,772,034  to
$2,247,064. Gross profit percentage of 39% was down from 43% for the same period
in 1998.  Gross profit  increased  from  $764,312 to $906,523.  Increased  sales
revenues were mainly  attributable  to sales of Bovie  generators  (product line
purchased).  For the first quarter of 1999 and 1998 cauteries  accounted for 38%
and 46% of sales, respectively.

Operating  salaries  and related  expenses  decreased by 11%,  from  $392,511 to
$348,995,  in the three  months  ended  March 31,  1999 as  compared to the same
period in 1998.  The decrease in salaries was largely  attributable  to the fact
that no bonuses were given out in 1999 as compared to 1998.

Research and development  costs increased by 9% from $46,300 to $50,458 from the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 to the quarter ending March 31, 1999.

Expenses  for  professional  services  decreased  by 43% to $81,582 in the three
months ended March 31,  1999,  as compared to $143,434 in the same period of the
previous  year.  The  main  reason  for  this  decrease  was  professional  fees
associated with the settlement of various transactions in 1998 only.

Selling,  General and Administrative  expenses increased by $80,671 (24%). These
expenses  were  $407,026  in the three  month  period  ended  March 31,  1999 as
compared to $326,355 for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The increase was
mainly  attributable to the  amortization  of the cost of the ART  manufacturing
license and the Bovie Name Purchase.

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

Interest expense decreased from $26,631 in the three months ended March 31, 1998
to $12,947 in 1999.  The $13,684 (51%)  decrease in interest  expense was mainly
attributable  to the  decrease in interest in the  Company's  line of credit and
term loan which  began at the end of the first  quarter  of 1998.  The term loan
principal  is low and the line of credit  was  hardly  used in first  quarter of
1999.

The  operating  gain was $18,462 in the first  quarter of 1999 as compared to an
operating loss of $94,394 in the same period in 1998.

The Company had a net gain of $9,045 for the three  months  ended March 31, 1999
as compared to net loss of $170,884 in 1998 for the same period. The reasons for
the  increase  of $112,856 in the  operating  income and  $130,035 in net income
include:  $142,211  increase  in  gross  profit;  and the  decrease  in one time
professional fees attributable to the BSD/ART license and equipment purchase.

The Company sells its products through  distributors  both in the  international
market and in the USA.  Distributors  are contacted  through response to company
advertising in  international  medical  journals or at domestic or international
trade shows. The main focus for export sales has been Western Europe.

The Company has  distributors in all major markets there. The Company intends to
continue marketing its products, targeting different regions of the world, while
returning to major  markets for increased  market  exposure and to introduce new
products.

During the first three months of 1999,  international sales of the Aaron Medical
product line declined by 1%. These sales were $410,287 which  represented 19% of
total sales,  while in 1998 total  international  sales were $414,931 and 23% of
total  sales.  The Company  expects  sales to increase  because it received  its
ISO 9000 certification in the 3rd quarter of 1998.


Financial Condition

As of March 31, 1999, the amount of cash was $370,227 as compared to $131,531 at
March 31, 1998. Cash provided by operating  activities was $168,566 in the first
quarter of 1999 as  compared to $44,531  cash used by  operations  in 1998.  Net
working  capital of the company on March 31, 1999 was  $1,812,443 as compared to
$745,761 in 1998.

Investing  activities  utilized $51,970 in cash during the first three months of
1999,  compared  to  $70,546 in the first  three  months of 1998.  In 1999,  the
Company  continued  its policy of  investing in  property,  plant and  equipment
needed for future business requirements, including manufacturing capacity.

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

The  Company's ten largest  customers  accounted  for  approximately  52% of net
revenues  for the first three months of 1999.  At March 31,  1999,  the same ten
customers accounted for approximately 58% of outstanding accounts receivable.

Cash flows from financing used $25,042 and provided  $198,362 in the first three
months of 1999 and 1998, respectively. The most significant financing activities
in the three months  ended March 31, 1998 were the receipt of $250,000  from the
purchase of BSD. The amounts of the term and the line of credit loan repaid were
$12,501 and 100,000, in the first quarter of 1999, respectively.

The Company believes that it has the financial resources needed to meet business
requirements in the foreseeable future,  including capital  expenditures for the
expansion of its manufacturing site, working capital  requirements,  and product
development programs,  which includes its 1998 acquisition and transition of the
Bovie product line  manufacturing  operation to its facility in St.  Petersburg,
Florida.


Outlook

The Company,  believes that the world market for disposal medical products, such
as the Company's  battery-operated  cauteries,  has significant growth potential
because these types of products have not been affordable or effectively marketed
outside the U.S.  Because of these  factors,  the Company has  designed  certain
disposable  products to be reusable.  The Company  presently  has a  significant
portion of the U.S.  cautery  market  and does not  expect a dramatic  growth in
sales of cautery-related  products domestically unless an OEM arrangement can be
obtained with a co-leader in this market.

The Company,  has focused on  expanding  its line of  electrosurgical  products.
Electrosurgical  products sold by the Company are the standard  stainless  steel
electrodes,  the  patented  Multi-Function  Cautery,  and  the  Aaron  800  high
frequency desiccator. The Aaron 1200 was introduced in 1998 as well as the Bovie
product line of generators and accessories.

To replace the Company's line of reduced stick  electrodes, the Company  entered
into licensing and manufacturing agreement with Advanced Refractory Technologies
(ART) to manufacture a coated electrode  utilizing ART's patented DYLYN process.
The  license  to the  DYLYN  coating  process  also  includes  its use for other
biomedical  applications.  To date ART has not  produced a  commercially  viable
coated electrode.

Aaron,  through its private label  capacity,  sees unique  opportunities  in the
domestic  market  as  most  of  its  competitors  do  not  private  label.   The
electrosurgical  product  line is a larger  market than the company has normally
sold  into and is  dominated  by two main  competitors,  VallyeLab  and  Conmed.
Electrosurgical  product sales moved from fifth place to second in total Company
sales by product line in 1997 and has remained in that position.

Liquidity and Future Plans

Since  the  acquisition  of Aaron  Medical  Industries,  Inc.  the  Company  has
partially changed its direction from acquiring  ownership  interest in companies
to acquiring new product  technology  and expanding  manufacturing  capabilities
through  Aaron.  The Aaron 800 and 1200 are an  example  of this new  direction.
Other products and  technologies  are being evaluated for future  development by
the Company  through its  manufacturing  and licensing  agreement  with Advanced
Refractory Technologies and by its recent acquisition of Bovie products line and
technologies.

In order to maintain and strive for  international  sales growth and its ability
to sell in Europe,  management is implemented an ISO9000/EN46001  quality system
and is certified  and received its CE mark  (International  Quality  Control) in
1998. The Company had obtained a one-year line of credit with a local commercial
bank for  $400,000  and a three-year  $150,000  loan for  capital  improvements.
Interest on these loans is to be paid at 1% over prime.  Balances on these loans
were $-0- and $45,559 as of May 5, 1999, respectively.

Bovie  Medical  Corporation  believes  that it has the product mix,  facilities,
personnel,  and  competitive  and financial  resources  for  continued  business
success, but future revenues,  costs,  margins,  product mix and profits are all
subject to the influence of a number of factors, as discussed above.
