ITEM 5.           Other Events

     During  August,  1996,  Dr. Allan  Kaminsky  orally advised a member of the
Company's board of directors that he would no longer pursue obtaining control of
the Company by a proxy contest or litigation.  Dr. Kaminsky  subsequently sent a
letter  dated  September 6, 1996 to Mr.  Larry E. Clark  offering his  continued
efforts on behalf of the  Company,  without cash  compensation,  in exchange for
certain  commitments by the Company,  which included a right  exercisable by Dr.
Kaminsky to appoint five persons to the Board of Directors  (in the event he was
able to develop a device which could measure  hematocrit  within certain ranges)
and rights for Dr.  Kaminsky to purchase  one million or more shares of stock in
the  Company  at 50% of market  value (in the event  the  Company  achieved  the
ability to fabricate a marketable product or executed a merger/acquisition). The
letter advised the Company that if Dr. Kaminsky did not receive a reply from the
Company by September 16, 1996 that he would "irreversibly" sever any association
with the Company  (employment,  consulting and advisory).  After considering Dr.
Kaminsky's  proposal,  the Company  determined to make no response to the letter
and considers its  association  with Dr.  Kaminsky to be terminated and that his
435,000 options have expired.  However, Dr. Kaminksy continues to be a principal
shareholder of the Company;  see Form 10KSB for the year ended 1995,  "Principal
Shareholders".

     Effective September 3, 1996, the Company entered into a consulting contract
with Ruben Engineering,  Paul Ruben and Calvin Ruben for engineering  consulting
services relating to the development of its hematocrit technology.  The contract
grants the Rubens a total of 300,000 options to purchase the common stock of the
Company for $1.16 per share. A block of 200,000  options become  exercisable and
vest  25,000 per  quarter  beginning  December 1, 1996.  An  additional  100,000
options become exercisable and non-forfeitable on the date satisfactory clinical
trials  have been  completed  on the  hematocrit  technology.  All  options  are
immediately  exercisable and  non-forfeitable  if the FDA approves the Company's
hematocrit  technology  or if InMedica  is sold or acquired or the  non-invasive
hematocrit technology is sold or acquired. Pursuant to the agreement, the Rubens
agree to complete the  construction  of six  prototypes  for the Company for the
previously agreed upon price of $50,000 and to continue to consult with InMedica
for a period of at least two years, for a minimum of 8 hours per week at $80 per
hour.  The  Rubens  are  continuing  research  and  development  efforts  on the
Company's technology.

                                          CONSULTING AND OPTION AGREEMENT

     An  Agreement  made  as of the 3rd day of  September,  1996 by and  between
InMedica Development Corporation,  a Utah corporation doing business at 60 South
600 East, Suite 150, Salt Lake City, Utah 84102 (hereinafter  called "InMedica")
and Paul Ruben, dba Ruben Engineering and Calvin Ruben (collectively hereinafter
called "Ruben Engineering") with address at 741 East Litson, Murray, Utah 84107.


                                                     RECITALS


     Whereas  InMedica has  previously  engaged  Ruben  Engineering  to complete
certain work on its non-invasive hematocrit project; and

     Whereas the parties now desire to formalize their  relationship for further
work and to grant  certain  stock  options to Ruben  Engineering  as  additional
compensation  and  incentive  to  complete  work  which has been  commenced  for
InMedica and to continue additional work;

     Now  therefore,  for good  and  valuable  consideration,  the  receipt  and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

     1.  Options.  InMedica  hereby  grants to Paul and Calvin Ruben  options to
purchase  300,000 shares of the common stock of InMedica  subject to the vesting
requirements  described  in  paragraphs  a and b, below.  All  options  shall be
allocated  one third to Calvin  Ruben and two thirds to Paul Ruben.  The options
are  exercisable  for One  Dollar and  Sixteen  Cents  ($1.16)  per share on the
following terms and conditions:

  (a)  Subject to the  vesting  schedule  shown  below,  200,000  options may be
exercised  during a five year period  beginning  on the day of execution of this
agreement by Ruben Engineering giving 5 days prior notice to InMedica,  together
with  a  check  for  the  exercise  price  and  a  purchaser  questionnaire  and
representation letter in a form approved by counsel to InMedica. Upon receipt of
the  notice,  questionnaire,  representation  letter and check,  InMedica  shall
within five days  instruct the transfer  agent to issue the common  shares as to
which the  option  has been  exercised.  Such  share  certificates  shall bear a
restrictive  legend and shall not be subject to resale  except if  registered or
pursuant to an exemption from registration under the securities

laws. Each quarter following the grant of the foregoing 200,000 options,  25,000
options shall become exercisable and non- forfeitable on the following schedule:

                     Total Exercisable &    Percent Exercisable
       Date          Non-Forfeitable Options  Non-Forfeitable
- -------------------------------------------------------------
  September 1, 1996         0                     0
  December 1, 1996       25,000                  12.5%
  March 1, 1997          50,000                  25.0%
  June 1, 1997           75,000                  37.5%
  September 1, 1997     100,000                  50.0%
  December 1, 1997      125,000                  62.5%
  March 1, 1998         150,000                  75.0%
  June 1, 1998          175,000                  87.5%
  September 1, 1998     200,000                 100.0%

Exercisable  options shown in the table above assume  previously  vested options
have not been exercised.

Notwithstanding  the  foregoing  vesting  schedule,  upon  FDA  approval  of the
InMedica non-invasive  hematocrit  technology,  all 200,000 options shall become
immediately   exercisable  and  non-forfeitable   without  regard  to  continued
employment   thereafter   or  agreement  to  consult  with   InMedica  of  Ruben
Engineering.  Should Ruben Engineering  choose to terminate this agreement prior
to FDA approval or September 1, 1998, all unvested options shall be forfeited.

  (b) 100,000 additional  options shall become  exercisable and  non-forfeitable
for a term of five (5) years from a date on which  satisfactory  clinical trials
have  first  been   completed   by  InMedica  on  the   hematocrit   technology.
"Satisfactory  clinical trials" shall mean that the technology  determines human
hematocrit with an RMS error of no more than 2 hematocrit  points using a random
sampling of 50 patients.  Upon completion of satisfactory  clinical trials,  the
100,000 options  referred to in this paragraph may be exercised  during the term
thereof by Ruben  Engineering  giving 5 days prior notice to InMedica,  together
with  a  check  for  the  exercise  price  and  a  purchaser  questionnaire  and
representation letter in a form approved by counsel to InMedica. Upon receipt of
the  notice,  questionnaire,  representation  letter and check,  InMedica  shall
within five days  instruct the transfer  agent to issue the common  shares as to
which the option has been exercised. Such shares shall bear a restrictive legend
and shall not be  subject  to resale  except if  registered  or  pursuant  to an
exemption from registration  under the securities laws. Should Ruben Engineering
choose to terminate  this  agreement  prior to the  satisfactory  completion  of
clinical trials, the 100,000 options hereunder shall be forfeited.

     (c) In the event that InMedica is sold or acquired by another  company,  or
InMedica's  non-invasive hematocrit technology is sold or transferred to another
company (excluding  non-exclusive  licensing agreements) while this agreement is
in force, all 300,000 options will become exercisable and non-forfeitable.

     2. Consulting Agreement.  Ruben Engineering agrees to consult with InMedica
for a  period  of not less  than  two  years  from  the  date  hereof  regarding
InMedica's non-invasive hematocrit technology. Ruben Engineering personnel shall
be available to consult  with and perform  engineering  services for InMedica as
required  for a minimum  of eight (8) hours per week  during  the period of this
Agreement.  In  addition  to the  options  referred  to in  paragraph  1,  Ruben
Engineering  shall  be paid an  hourly  rate of $80 per  hour  for all  services
rendered hereunder.

     3. Effect on Existing  Agreement.  Ruben  Engineering has previously agreed
with  InMedica  to build a prototype  of an  hematocrit  measuring  device on or
before November 1, 1996 and five additional copies of the prototype on or before
November 14, 1996 in  consideration  of $50,000 to be paid by the  Company.  The
prior  agreement  shall be  incorporated  into this  agreement,  except that the
services previously contracted for shall be included by Ruben Engineering in the
price  previously  agreed to. Any work outside the scope of the prior  agreement
shall be paid at the hourly rate referred to in paragraph 2.

     4.  Confidentiality.  Ruben  Engineering  and its  owners  consultants  and
employees shall  concurrently with the execution of this agreement each sign and
agree to be bound by the Confidentiality and Non-competition agreement a copy of
which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

     5. Term. This agreement shall continue for a period of two years and may be
renewed for subsequent one year periods for  additional  consulting  services by
mutual agreement of the parties.

     6. General.  (a) This agreement  contains the entire agreement  between the
parties on the subject matter (including those agreements expressly incorporated
herein by  reference)  and can only be changed or modified by written  agreement
between the parties.

     (b) Any notices or other  communications  under this agreement  shall be in
writing,  shall be deemed to have been  legally  given and  delivered  when sent
certified mail, return receipt requested to the addresses set forth above.

     (c) In the  event  any  provision  or any  part  of any  provision  of this
agreement shall be held invalid,  illegal or  unenforceable,  such holding shall
not affect any other  provision or any part of the same  provision  which can be
given effect without the invalid provision or any part thereof.

         (d) This agreement may be executed in one or more  counterparts each of
which shall be deemed to be an original  and all of which taken  together  shall
constitute one and the same agreement.

         (e) Any party hereto found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
breached this agreement  shall be liable to the  prevailing  party for costs and
attorneys fees.

         IN WITNESS  WHEREOF the parties have executed this  agreement as of the
