ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION CONTAINS, IN ADDITION TO HISTORICAL INFORMATION,
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.  THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER
SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THE RESULTS DISCUSSED IN THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.
FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE OR CONTRIBUTE TO SUCH DIFFERENCES INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT
LIMITED TO, THOSE DISCUSSED BELOW AND IN THE COMPANY'S FISCAL 1996 ANNUAL REPORT
ON FORM 10-K.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1997 were $5,653,000, an increase of
$460,000 or 8.8% compared to sales for the second quarter of the previous year.
A portion of this increase is due to the timing of orders.  The first quarter
sales were $132,000 less than the prior year because orders expected in June
were received in July.  Approximately $300,000 of the increased sales is due to
sales to Ciba Corning Diagnostics, with whom Marquest signed a contract in late
fiscal 1996 for the sale of arterial blood gas syringes.

The gross margin decreased from 32.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 to
30.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 1997, and decreased from 31.4% to 28.9%
for the first six months of fiscal 1996 and 1997, respectively.  The decrease is
due to incremental manufacturing costs related to component quality and an
increase in the cost of heated humidification units provided to customers.
Units are provided to hospitals at no charge in exchange for agreements to
purchase specified levels of disposable products.  In fiscal 1997, more new
units are being provided to hospitals.

Operating expenses have remained flat for the second quarter and for the first
six months compared to the prior year.  During the first quarter of fiscal 1996,
the Company sold its 10% investment in Seabrook Medical Systems, Inc. for a
$200,000 gain.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

OPERATING ACTIVITIES:  Cash used in operations was $876,000 for the first six
months of fiscal 1997.  This decrease was due to a reduction in payables and
accrued liabilities due to normal seasonal selling patterns and the payment of
various legal settlements.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES:  During fiscal 1996, the Company and Scherer Capital, LLC.
signed a loan agreement under which the Company may borrow up to $1,500,000 at
1-1/2% over prime, secured by inventory and equipment.  At September 28, 1996,
there is $800,000 of borrowing capacity available to the Company.  On March 29,
1996, Scherer Capital purchased $1,000,000 of common stock of the Company at a
rate of $0.485 per share.

The Company has obtained a two and one-half year revolving line of credit from
Norwest Business Credit., Inc. ("Norwest") secured by receivables with an
interest rate of 2.25% over Norwest's prime rate.  The maximum line of credit to
be extended is 80% of eligible accounts receivable or $2,000,000, whichever is
less.

Management of the Company believes that it can fund its current operating levels
and capital expenditures from the funds from the sale of common stock in March
1996 and from available borrowings under the loan agreement 


                                          9

with Scherer Capital
and the line of credit.  To the extent that fiscal 1997 operations and
borrowings are not sufficient to support anticipated capital expenditures, the
Company's planned investment in capital projects will be reduced.
