            MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of operations for the first quarter ended July 31, 1995,
versus the first quarter ended July 31, 1994, and analysis of
financial condition as of July 31, 1995 compared to the fiscal year
ended April 30, 1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Sales

Net sales for the quarter ended July 31, l995, totaled $9,562,100,
which represents an 18.0% increase from the $8,104,400 in net sales
reported for the comparable period of the prior year.  The increased
sales are due in part to increased sales in the ventilator product
line both domestically, as a result of a concerted sales and marketing
effort, and internationally, due to larger than anticipated shipments
to Germany-based Dragerwerk.  Sales from the recently acquired sleep
diagnostic product line also contributed to the increased sales, while
sales of apnea monitors were less than expected.  The Company's
subsidiary, Crow River Industries, also experienced record sales for
the first quarter.  The Company expects international sales to level
off and sleep diagnostic product sales to increase for the remainder
of the fiscal year.  The Company believes sales in general will remain
strong for the balance of the fiscal year.


Cost of Sales

Gross margins as a percentage of net sales for the quarter ended July
31, 1995, increased to 55.4% from 55.1% for same period in fiscal
1994.  The slight increase in gross margin is the result of changes in
product lines with the addition of the sleep diagnostics product line. 
Margin levels are expected to remain at first quarter levels for the
balance of the fiscal year.


Operating Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses for the quarter ended July 31, l995
increased $295,400, or 19.1%, over the first quarter of last year,
representing 19.3% of net sales for the quarter ended July 31, 1995,
compared to 19.1% for the comparable quarter of last year.
The increase in expenses reflects additional selling expenses incurred
related to the new sleep diagnostic product line.  Sales and marketing
expenses as a percentage of sales are expected to increase slightly
for the remainder of the fiscal year as additional costs will continue
to be incurred relative to the marketing of the sleep diagnostic
product line.<PAGE>
General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended July 31,
l995, increased $161,200, or 11.4%, over the first quarter of last
year.  The increase in expenses reflects the costs associated with the
acquisition of the sleep diagnostic product line including,
amortization of goodwill, patent and covenant-not-to-compete,
additional insurance and employee benefits, and additions to the human
resources staff. General and administrative expenses are expected to
remain at current levels for the remainder of the fiscal year.

Research and development expenses for the quarter ended July 31, l995,
increased $176,900, or 31.5%, compared to the same period last year. 
The increase in research and development expenditures in fiscal 1995
is part of the Company's commitment to growth through expanded new
product development efforts, along with the additional staff and
expenses associated with the sleep diagnostic product line.  Research
and development expenditures may increase marginally for the balance
of the fiscal year as new product development projects continue.

Interest expense for the quarter ended July 31, l995, increased by
$34,800 from the first quarter of fiscal 1994 as a direct result of an
additional $2,500,000 in long-term borrowings used to finance the
acquisition of the sleep diagnostic product line.  Other income
increased $21,600 from the same period last year due to additional
earnings on investments and accounts payable discounts.  


Net Income

Net income for the quarter ended July 31, l995 was $724,700 which
represents a $141,300 increase compared with the same period a year
ago.  This results in net income per share for the three months ended
July 31, 1995 of $.14 compared to net per share of $.12 for the
comparable period last year.  The effective tax rate for the quarter
ended July 31, 1995 was 39.0% compared to 42.0% for the same period
last year. 


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash decreased to $1,872,100 at July 31, 1995, from $4,986,800 at
April 30, 1995.  Operating activities used cash of $576,900 during the
first quarter ended July 31, 1995 compared to providing cash of
$282,000 for the comparable prior year period.  The reduction in
operating cash flows resulted primarily from an increase in accounts
receivable of $1,986,700 due to the significant increase in first
quarter sales.<PAGE>
During the quarter the company paid $4,822,900 for the 
purchase of the sleep diagnostics product line from CNS, Inc.  This 
purchase price was financed by a long term debt borrowing of $2,500,000, 
a note payable to CNS, Inc. for receivables of $595,600 and the balance 
in cash.  The company used $8,400 to reduce long term debt and an 
additional $117,300 to purchase capital equipment.  Capital equipment
expenditures for the balance of the fiscal year are expected to be
approximately $1,225,000.

The maturity date of the Company's line of credit is October 31, 1996. 
The Company believes that internally generated funds and existing
borrowing potential will provide sufficient working capital to meet
all present commitments.<PAGE>
