2.  REPORT OF MANAGEMENT:

The management of Marquest Medical Products, Inc. (the "Company") is responsible
for the integrity of the financial information presented.  The financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and they include amounts that are based on management's best
estimates and judgment.  These unaudited interim financial statements reflect
all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair
statement of the results of the interim periods presented.

Management relies upon the Company's system of internal accounting controls in
meeting its responsibilities for maintaining reliable financial records.  This
system is designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded
and that transactions are properly recorded and executed in accordance with
management's intentions.  Judgments are required to assess and balance the
relative cost and expected benefits of such internal accounting controls.

3.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis
that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of
assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

During the nine months of Fiscal 1996, the Company has taken several steps to
preserve cash and increase profitability on sales.  The Company believes that it
can fund its current operations and meet its obligations as they come due
through the fourth quarter of Fiscal 1996, however the viability of the Company
thereafter will depend on increasing operating income, extending the term of the
promissory note discussed in Note 6, and the successful completion of external
financing arrangements.  There can be no assurance that external financing will
be available and there remains substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these
uncertainties.

4.  QUASI-REORGANIZATION:

In June 1993, the Company's Board of Directors approved quasi-reorganization
procedures which were effective July 3, 1993, the end of the Company's first
quarter of Fiscal 1994.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)



5.  WARRANTS:

In April, 1995, 165,000 of the Company's warrants to purchase common stock at
$0.25 per share were exercised.  These warrants had been issued to the Swiss
bondholders in an exchange in Fiscal 1994, and, in accordance with the warrant
agreement, $40,000 of the Company's 8% Swiss notes payable were used in lieu of
cash to exercise the warrants.


6.  FINANCING TRANSACTIONS:

SWISS BONDS - In December, 1995, the Company exchanged Sfr 375,000 of defaulted
Swiss Bonds for $259,000 U. S. denominated 8% notes and $145,000 in cash.  A
gain of $32,000 was recorded on the transaction.

SCHERER CAPITAL - In December, 1995, Scherer Capital, a company controlled by
the largest shareholder, Scherer Healthcare, Inc., loaned the Company
$1,100,000 at 9.25% annual interest to meet its cash obligations.  The loan
is due February 15, 1996 and is collateralized by the Company's accounts
receivable and inventory.  The Company is currently in discussions with
Scherer Capital to extend the term of the loan.

NOTE PAYABLE TO BANK - In December, 1995, Colorado National Bank (the "Bank")
released the Company's accounts receivable and inventory as collateral for the
Term Loan Agreement so that the collateral could be used to obtain additional
financing as described above from Scherer Capital.  In consideration for the
release, the Company made a principal payment to the Bank of $160,000 and agreed
to shorten the term of the loan from June 2004 to January 2000.  The
amortization of the loan will remain the same, however a balloon payment will be
made in January 2000.


7.  INCOME TAXES:

During Fiscal 1994, the Company received a refund of federal income taxes of
approximately $745,000 due to the carryback to prior years of losses incurred
during the temporary suspension of operations by the United States Food and Drug
Administration.  The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") completed an audit during
Fiscal 1995 and determined that the losses could not be carried back and issued
an assessment to the Company for the taxes plus interest.  In June 1995, the
Company reached agreement on a repayment plan with the IRS whereby the Company
paid $400,000 in June 1995 and the remaining balance plus interest will be paid
in equal monthly installments over a two-year period.

Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the Company settled additional tax
issues related to audits by the IRS for fiscal years 1982-1988.  The Company
recorded $697,000 of additional taxes and interest in the third quarter and is
currently negotiating a repayment plan with the IRS.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues for the third quarter increased 9.6% over the same period in Fiscal
1995, and increased 10% for the nine months ended December 30, 1995 over the
first nine months of the prior year.  Sales in the first quarter of Fiscal 1995
were low due to a decline in hospital census which the Company believes was due
to the uncertainties of healthcare reform.  Also, many of the Company's
distributors had purchased high levels of product during the fourth quarter of
Fiscal 1994 which depressed sales in the first quarter of Fiscal 1995.  During
the first nine months of Fiscal 1996, the Company implemented a network of
independent manufacturer's representatives which supplements the Company's sales
force.

The gross margin increased from 23.9% in the third quarter of Fiscal 1995 to 31%
in the third quarter of Fiscal 1996.  Similar improvements have been achieved in
the gross margin for the first nine months:  23.4% in Fiscal 1995 compared to
31.2% in Fiscal 1996.  The Company has reduced manufacturing costs through
reductions in personnel, improved operational efficiencies and increased its
vertical integration of the manufacturing process.

Selling and marketing expenses decreased 3.5% and 10.2% for the third quarter
and the first nine months of Fiscal 1996, respectively, compared to comparable
periods of Fiscal 1995 primarily due to reductions in personnel which occurred
during the second quarter of Fiscal 1995 and the second quarter of Fiscal 1996.
Advertising and promotion programs costing approximately $85,000 for the first
two quarters of Fiscal 1995 were not continued into Fiscal 1996.  General and
administrative expenses decreased approximately 22% during the first three
quarters of Fiscal 1996 compared to the same periods in Fiscal 1995 due to
reductions in personnel during the second quarter of Fiscal 1995.

Interest expense increased 16.5% in the third quarter of Fiscal 1996 compared to
the same quarter in the prior fiscal year due to interest on monthly
installments paid to settle litigation as well as interest on the Company's
obligation to the Internal Revenue Service as discussed in Note 7.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has taken several steps in Fiscal 1996 to preserve cash and increase
profitability on sales, including (i) the addition of independent manufacturer's
representatives, (ii) cost reductions in all departments, and (iii) ordering of
equipment to increase the automation of the Company's manufacturing process.  In
December, 1995, the Company signed a promissory note with Scherer Capital, a
company controlled by the largest shareholder, Scherer Healthcare, Inc., for
maximum borrowings of $1,800,000, of which $1,100,000 had been borrowed at
December 30, 1995.  The note is secured by the Company's inventory and accounts
receivable and is due February 15, 1996.  In January, 1996, $400,000 was repaid.
The Company is currently in discussions with Scherer Capital to extend the term
of the promissory note.

Management of the Company believes that it can fund its current operating levels
and meet its obligations as they come due through the fourth quarter of Fiscal
1996 from existing operations and from advances from Scherer Capital.
Thereafter, the viability of the Company will be dependent on increasing
operating income, the extension of the promissory note discussed above and the
successful completion of external financing arrangements, which the Company is
currently negotiating.  There can be no assurance that the foregoing will occur
and there remains substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.

None

ITEM 3.  DEFAULTS UPON SECURITIES.

On January 14, 1992, the Company was notified that the holders of the majority
of its Swiss bonds have exercised their right to put the bonds for redemption as
of March 11, 1992.  The Company was not able to honor this put, and accordingly
defaulted on these obligations.  The Company did not make any payments of
principal or interest on the Swiss bonds during 1993.  During Fiscal 1994, the
Company refinanced 96% of the Swiss bonds outstanding with 8% notes, warrants to
purchase Marquest common stock and cumulative convertible preferred stock of
Scherer Healthcare, Inc.  In December, 1995, the Company exchanged an additional
Sfr 375,000 of Swiss bonds for $259,000 of 8% notes and $145,000 in cash.  The
Swiss bonds outstanding at December 30, 1995 and April 1, 1995, including the
accrued interest on these bonds of $104,000 and $176,000, respectively, have
been classified as current liabilities.

Part, and without demand or notice of any kind, become immediately due and

payable and the Secured Party may exercise from time to time any rights and

remedies available to it under applicable law. The Debtor agrees, in the case

of a Default, to assemble and make available at is expense all of the

Collateral at a convenient place acceptable to the Secured Party and to pay

all costs of the Secured Party of collection of the Note and all other

Liabilities, enforcement of rights hereunder, including reasonable attorney's

fees and legal expenses, and expenses of any repairs to any realty or other

property to which any of the Collateral may be affixed or be a part. If any

notification of any intended disposition of any of the Collateral is required

by law, such notification, if mailed, shall be deemed reasonably and properly

given if mailed at least five days before such disposition, postage prepaid,

addressed to the Debtor either at the address shown hereinabove, or at any

other address of the Debtor appearing on the records of the Secured Party and

in reference to a private sale, need only state that the Secured Party

intends to negotiate such a sale. Disposition of Collateral shall be deemed

commercially reasonable if made pursuant to a public offering advertised at

least twice in a newspaper of general circulation in the community where the

Collateral is located or by a private sale for a sum equal to or in excess of

the liquidation value of the Collateral as determined by the Secured Party.

Any proceeds of the disposition of the Collateral may be applied by the

Secured Party to the payment of expenses in connection with the Collateral,

including reasonable attorney's fees and legal expenses, and any balance of

such proceeds may be applied by the Secured Party toward the payment of such

of the Liabilities, and in such order of application, as the Secured Party

may from time to time elect.

   7.   (a)  Time is of the essence of this Agreement.

        (b)  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance

   with the laws of the State of Georgia.

        (c)  No waiver of any breach of any covenant, agreement or

   undertaking contained herein shall operate as a waiver of any subsequent

   breach of the same covenant, agreement or undertaking or as a waiver of

   any other covenant, agreement or undertaking. In the case of a breach by

   any party of any covenant, agreement or undertaking, the nonbreaching

   party may nevertheless accept from the other, any payment or performance

   without waiving its right to exercise any right or remedy provided herein

   or otherwise, with respect to any such breach which was in existence at

   the time such payment or performance were accepted by it. No failure of

   any party to exercise any power given herein or to insist upon strict

   compliance with any covenant, agreement or undertaking contained herein,

   and no custom or practice which varies from the terms hereof, shall

   constitute a wavier of such party's right to demand exact compliance with

   the terms hereof. The waiver by any party of a breach of any covenant,

   agreement or undertaking contained herein shall be made only by a written

   waiver in each case, and no such waiver shall operate or be construed as a

   waiver of any prior or subsequent breach.

   invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the validity,

   legality, and enforceability of the remaining part of such provision, and

   the validity, legality and enforcement of the other provisions hereof,

   shall not be affected thereby. Any provision of this Agreement which is

   held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not be

   and privileges conferred hereunder upon any party shall be cumulative and

   not restrictive of those given by law. No remedy herein conferred is

   exclusive of any other available remedy, but each and every such remedy

   shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given

   by agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.

   of, and shall be enforceable by and against all the parties and their

                       FIRST AMENDMENT TO LOAN AGREEMENT

This First Amendment to Loan Agreement (the "Amendment") is made as of
December 18, 1995, between MARQUEST MEDICAL PRODUCTS, INC., a Colorado
corporation ("Borrower") and COLORADO NATIONAL BANK, a national banking
association ("Bank").

WHEREAS,

i.    Borrower and Bank entered into a Loan Agreement dated as of June 30,
      1994, pursuant to which Bank made available to Borrower a Term Loan
      ("Loan") of $1,300,000.00 (the "Loan Agreement");

ii.   Borrower has requested that Bank release Bank's security interests in
      Borrower's accounts, general intangibles, inventory and equipment which
      secure the Loan; and

iii.  Bank is willing to take such action upon receipt of a prepayment of
      $160,000.00 and Borrower's agreement to shorten the Maturity Date of
      January 31, 2000, and otherwise subject to the terms and conditions in
      this Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
herein, Borrower and Bank agree as follows:

1.    DEFINITIONS.  Capitalized terms used herein and in the recitals hereto,
but not defined herein or therein, shall have the meanings given them in the
Loan Agreement.

2.    AMENDMENT TO LOAN AGREEMENT.  Section 1.04 of the Loan Agreement is
amended by changing the date "July 31, 2004" wherever it appears to the date
"January 31, 2000".

3.    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  Borrower hereby remakes each of the
representations and warranties contained in Section 3 of the Loan Agreement
as of the date of this Amendment, as if made in connection with this
Amendment and the Loan Agreement, except that for purposes hereof the
references in Section 3.04 of the Loan Agreement to financial statements
dated as of or as at certain dates shall be deemed to be references to the
audited and unaudited financial statements of Borrower most recently
delivered to Bank.

4.     CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.  The foregoing amendment shall not be effective
and Bank shall have no obligation to release its security interest in
personal property until:

       (i)    Borrower has delivered to Bank this Amendment and a
              Modification/Extension Agreement shortening the Maturity Date
              to January 31, 2000, each duly executed in form satisfactory to
              Bank; and

      (ii)    Borrower has paid Bank the amount of $160,000.00.

The delivery of such documents and payment shall constitute Borrower's
representation to Bank that Borrower is not in default under the Loan
Agreement, as amended, except under Sections 5.09ii and that no other event
of default or event which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or
both, would become an event of default, has occurred; and Bank may request a
certificate of an officer of Borrower stating the foregoing.

5.     RELEASE.  Upon the delivery of the documents and payment provided for
in Section 4 above, Bank shall deliver to Borrower one or more duly executed
UCC-3 Termination Statements releasing Bank's security interests in
Borrower's accounts, general intangibles, inventory and equipment and shall
terminate Borrower's Security Agreement dated June 30, 1994.

6.     ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Amendment and the Loan Agreement contain the
entire agreement of the parties concerning the subject matter hereof and
thereof. No promise, representation or understanding which is not expressly
set forth in, or incorporated into, either the Loan Agreement or this
Amendment shall be enforceable by either party.

7.     EFFECTIVENESS.  The Loan shall continue to be governed by and subject
to all of the provisions of the Loan Agreement as amended hereby and any
amounts outstanding on the Loan after the pre-payment shall continue to be
outstanding and evidenced by the Note. The Loan Agreement, as amended hereby,
and all of the Collateral Documents, to which Borrower is a party, other than
Borrower's Security Agreement dated June 30, 1994, remain in full force and
effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed. Any reference to "this
Agreement" or "the Loan Agreement" in the Loan Agreement or in any promissory
note, security agreement, guaranty, or other instrument relating to the Loan
Agreement is deemed to be a reference to the Loan Agreement as amended
hereby.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower and Bank have caused this Amendment to be
executed the date first set forth above.
