FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS  
  
     Certain statements in this Report constitute "forward-looking   
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform   
Act of 1995.  Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown   
risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results,   
performance or achievements of the Company, or industry results, to be   
materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements   
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  Such risks,   
uncertainties and factors include, among others, those described under   
"Business -- Risk Factors."  
  
GENERAL  
  
     Bioject Medical Technologies Inc. ("Bioject" or the "Company")   
develops, manufactures and markets a jet injection system for needle-free   
drug delivery. Using this technology for injections virtually eliminates the   
associated risk of contaminated needlestick injuries and resulting blood-  
borne pathogen transmission, a major concern throughout the healthcare   
industry.  The Company manufactures and markets a professional jet injection   
system, the Biojector (registered trademark) 2000, which allows healthcare   
professionals to inject medications through the skin, both intramuscularly   
in the deltoid muscle and subcutaneously, without a needle.  The Biojector   
2000 system consists of two components: a hand-held, reusable jet-injector  
(the "Biojector 2000"); and a sterile, single-use disposable syringe   
("Biojector syringe"). The system is capable of delivering variable dose   
needle-free injections up to 1 ml. Additionally, the Company is developing a   
self-injection system for delivery of Betaseron (registered trademark) to   
multiple sclerosis patients pursuant to an agreement with Schering AG,  
Germany, signed March 28, 1994 and the Company is also developing systems   
for Hoffmann-La Roche to use with certain of their products pursuant to an   
agreement signed January 10, 1995.  See "Research and Product Development."  
  
     Currently, medications are administered using various methods, each of   
which has advantages and limitations.  The leading drug delivery techniques   
include oral ingestion, intravenous infusion, subcutaneous and intramuscular   
injection, inhalation and transdermal diffusion "patch."  Many drugs are  
effective only when administered by injection.  Studies indicate that there   
are more than four billion needle-syringes sold annually in the U.S.  The   
Company believes that approximately 80% of these syringes are used for   
subcutaneous or intramuscular injections up to 1 ml.  The deltoid muscle is   
the location of choice for intramuscular injections up to 1 ml.  
  
     Injections using traditional needle-syringes suffer from many   
shortcomings including (i) the risk of needlestick injuries, (ii) the risk   
of penetrating a patient's vein and (iii) patients' aversion to needles and   
discomfort.  The most important of these, the contaminated needlestick   
injury, occurs when a needle that has been exposed to a patient's blood   
accidentally penetrates a healthcare worker's skin.  Contaminated needles   
can transmit deadly blood-borne pathogens including such viruses as HIV and  
hepatitis B.  Published data indicate that the total number of reported   
needlestick injuries in the U.S. exceeds 800,000 annually.  
  
     In recent years, with the growing awareness of blood-borne pathogen   
transmission, safety has become a critical concern for hospitals and   
healthcare professionals as well as patients.  As a result, pressures on the   
healthcare industry to eliminate the risk of contaminated needlestick   
injuries have  increased.  For example, the U.S. Occupational Safety and   
Health Administration ("OSHA") issued regulations, effective in 1992, which   
require healthcare institutions to treat all blood and other body fluids  
as infectious.  These regulations require the implementation of "engineering   
and work practice controls" to "isolate or remove the blood-borne pathogens   
hazard from the workplace."  Among the required controls are special   
handling and disposal of contaminated "sharps" in biohazardous "sharps"   
containers and follow-up testing for victims of needlestick injuries.  These  
regulations have significantly increased the cost of using needle-syringes.  
  
     The costs resulting from needlestick injuries vary widely.   
Uncontaminated needlesticks involve relatively little cost, while   
investigating and following up contaminated needlestick injuries are much   
more expensive.  Investigation typically includes identifying the source of   
contamination, testing the source for blood-borne pathogens and repeatedly   
testing the needlestick victim over an extended period.  Some healthcare   
providers are requiring additional measures, including presuming that all  
needlestick injuries involve contaminated needles unless proven otherwise   
and, under certain circumstances,  administering prophylactic treatment such   
as zidovudine (AZT) or other drugs. The costs associated with treating   
needlestick injuries that result in infection by life-threatening pathogens,   
such as HIV or hepatitis B, are dramatically higher. In an effort to protect  
healthcare workers from needlestick injuries, healthcare facilities have   
started adopting more expensive, alternative technologies.  One such   
technology is an intravenous ("IV") port that permits the injection of   
medication directly into the IV line without requiring the use of a sharp   
needle for each administration.  Another is the "safety syringe," generally   
a disposable needle-syringe with a plastic sheath mechanism intended to   
cover the needle after use.  Despite many efforts to reduce the risk of   
needlestick injuries, such injuries remain a major health concern.  
  
     The Company's long-term goal is to establish its jet injection   
technology as the preferred drug delivery method for all medications   
administered by intramuscular or subcutaneous injection.  The Company   
currently markets the Biojector 2000 system to hospitals, large clinics, and   
physician offices, is developing a self-injection device for the delivery of   
Betaseron to be marketed by Schering AG and is developing application   
specific devices to be marketed by Hoffmann-La Roche.  The Company is also   
seeking relationships with   pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to   
develop other application specific devices and companion syringes.  
  
THE COMPANY  
  
     The Company's operations are conducted by Bioject Inc., an Oregon    
corporation, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bioject Medical Systems   
Ltd.  Bioject Medical Systems Ltd., a Company organized under the laws of   
British Columbia, Canada, is, in turn, wholly owned by Bioject Medical   
Technologies Inc., an Oregon corporation (the "Company").  
  
     Although Bioject Inc. commenced operations in 1985, the Company was   
formed in December 1992 for the sole purpose of acquiring all the capital   
stock of Bioject Medical Systems Ltd. in a stock-for-stock exchange in order   
to establish a U.S. domestic corporation as the publicly traded parent   
company for Bioject Inc. and Bioject Medical Systems Ltd.  All references to  
the Company herein are to Bioject Medical Technologies Inc. and its   
subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise.  The Company's   
executive offices and operations are located at 7620 SW Bridgeport Road,   
Portland, Oregon 97224, and its telephone number is (503) 639-7221.

DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY'S PRODUCTS  
  
     The Company's current product, the Biojector 2000 system, is a   
refinement of jet injection technology that enables healthcare professionals   
to reliably deliver measured variable doses of medication through the skin,   
either intramuscularly to the deltoid muscle or subcutaneously, without a   
needle.  Giving an injection with a Biojector 2000 system is easy and   
straightforward. The healthcare worker checks the CO2 pressure on the easy-  
to-read gauge at the rear of the injector, draws up medication into the   
plastic syringe discarding the fill needle in a sharps container, inserts   
the syringe into the power  injector, presses the syringe tip against the   
appropriate disinfected surface on the patient's skin, and then presses an   
actuator thereby injecting the  medication.  Medication is expelled rapidly   
through a precision molded, small diameter orifice in a thin stream at a   
velocity sufficient to penetrate the skin and force the medication into the   
tissue at the desired level.  The Biojector 2000 system consists of two   
components:  a hand-held, reusable jet injector; and a sterile, single-use   
disposable plastic syringe capable of delivering variable doses of   
medication up to 1 ml.  
  
     The first component, the Biojector 2000, is a portable hand-held unit   
(about the size of a flashlight) which is designed to be easy to use by   
healthcare professionals, as well as attractive and non-threatening to   
patients.  As described in the June 7, 1993 issue of BUSINESSWEEK, the   
Biojector 2000 won the 1993 Gold Industrial Design Excellence Award given by   
Industrial Designers Society of America for its aesthetically pleasing and   
ergonomic design.  In July 1994, the Biojector 2000 also received the   
Alliance of Children's Hospitals Seal of Approval.  The Biojector 2000   
injector uses disposable CO2 cartridges as a power source. The CO2   
cartridges, which are purchased by the Company from an outside supplier,   
give an average of ten injections before requiring replacement.  The CO2 gas   
provides consistent, reliable pressure in order to push the syringe plunger   
and thereby propel the medication.  The CO2 does not come into contact with   
the patient or medication.  
  
     The second component, the Biojector single-use disposable syringe, is   
provided in a sterile, peel-open package and consists of a plastic, needle-  
free, variable dose syringe containing a plunger, accompanied by a needle   
used only for filling.  The body of the syringe is transparent and has   
graduated markings to aid filling by healthcare workers in the same way as   
traditional needle-syringes are filled.  However, unlike the traditional  
needle-syringe, the Biojector fill needle is designed to be immediately   
discarded in a "sharps" container as soon as the syringe is filled, so that   
a needle need never come near a patient when an injection is being given.    
More importantly, since no needle penetrates the patient's skin, the risk of  
contaminated needlestick injury is virtually eliminated.  Under OSHA   
regulations, used Biojector syringes need not be disposed of in a special   
biohazardous "sharps" container.  
  
     There are five different Biojector syringes, each of which is intended   
for a different injection depth or body type.  The syringes are molded using   
the Company's patented manufacturing process.  The healthcare worker selects   
the syringe appropriate for the intended type of injection.  One syringe   
size is for subcutaneous injections, while the others are designed for  
intramuscular injections, depending on the patient's age and body   
characteristics.  
  
     The current suggested retail list price for the Biojector 2000   
professional jet injector is $995, and the suggested retail list price for   
syringes is $1.00 a piece.  CO2 cartridges are sold for a suggested retail   
price of $0.50 per cartridge and average ten injections per cartridge.    
Discounts are offered for volume purchases.  
  
     The Company has other products in development which are intended to   
address other markets or to enhance the Biojector 2000 system.  See   
"Research and Product Development."  
  
INDUSTRY BACKGROUND  
  
     In 1836, LaForgue developed the concept of placing medicine under the   
skin by means of a needle lance trochar.  In 1853, Wood developed the   
hollow-needle hypodermic which was later improved by Hunter, Pravaz and many   
others.  The basic needle-syringe in use across the healthcare market today   
is a direct derivation from the original Wood design and involves a hollow   
steel needle of various diameters and lengths attached to a plastic syringe  
body and plunger.  The entire unit requires special handling and disposal.  
  
     The next fundamental improvement in injection technique for parenteral   
administration was made approximately 100 years following Wood's development   
of the hollow-needle hypodermic. This improvement was the development of a   
pneumatically powered hypodermic device which was capable of injecting   
medication through the skin without a needle.  These early needle-free   
injection devices were large and bulky devices which lent themselves to mass   
inoculations but were inappropriate for single-shot administrations of   
medication in the physician's office, hospital or in the home setting.  
  
     During the last 20 years, there have been many attempts to develop   
portable one-shot needle-free hypodermic devices.  Some of the problems   
which arose in these attempts to develop such devices include:  (a)   
inadequate injection power; (b) little or no control of pressure and depth   
of penetration; (c) complexity of design with related difficulties in cost   
and performance; (d) difficulties in use, including filling and cleaning;   
and (e) the necessity for sterilization between patients.  
  
     In recent years, several spring-driven needle-free injectors have been   
developed and marketed primarily for the injection of insulin.  Each of   
these devices requires regular cleaning as well as filling from a separate   
medication bottle or vial.  Current prices for such injectors range from   
approximately $400 to $800 per injector.  The Company believes that due to   
the cost combined with the difficulties of use, market acceptance of these   
devices has been limited.  
  
     Also in recent years, various versions of a "safety syringe" have been   
designed and marketed.  These syringes generally involve as their basic   
design a standard or modified needle-syringe with a plastic guard or   
sheathing surrounding the needle. Such covering is usually retracted or   
removed in order to give the injection.  Although the intent of the safety   
syringes is to reduce or eliminate needlestick injuries, the syringes   
require manipulation after injection and, therefore, still pose the risk  
of needlestick injury.  They are also bulky and add to contaminated waste   
disposal problems.  
  
  
MARKETING AND COMPETITION  
  
     The Company is currently focusing on gaining acceptance of the   
Biojector system in the U.S. hospital and large clinic markets.  The Company   
is also working on arrangements to market the Biojector 2000 system to the   
U.S. physician office market and the home healthcare market.  The Company   
plans eventually to expand into international markets.  Different marketing   
and distribution approaches are required in each of these markets. As new   
products are developed, the Company intends to establish additional channels   
of distribution.  For example, the Company is developing an injection system   
for self-injection by multiple sclerosis patients which is anticipated to be   
marketed by Schering AG, and the Company is developing an injection system  
for specific applications which is anticipated to be marketed by Hoffmann-La   
Roche.  Pre-filled Biojector syringes, if developed, would be filled and    
marketed by the pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies involved.  
  
     The Company employs up to nine sales representatives to be a dedicated   
sales force to sell the Company's Biojector 2000 system directly to the   
hospital and large clinic markets in key metropolitan areas.  Bioject's   
direct and national account sales efforts have resulted in the signing of   
pricing agreements with certain large group purchasing organizations.  Other   
than VNAA members, the Company has not had material sales under these   
agreements.  In addition to signing these agreements, the Company has   
received the "Seal of Approval" from the Children's Health Alliance.  
  
     In August 1994, Bioject signed an agreement with Homecare Management,   
Inc. (HMI), granting HMI exclusive rights to purchase Bioject's Needle-Free   
Injection Management System, the Biojector 2000, for use in the home   
healthcare market. Sales to HMI commenced in August 1994.  In return for   
HMI's commitment to purchase a minimum of 8,000 Biojector units over the   
ensuing two years, the Company granted volume pricing discounts to HMI.  
Throughout the term of the contract the selling price of Biojectors to HMI   
exceeded their standard cost.  During fiscal 1995 and 1996, the Company sold   
approximately 2,100 and 4,300 Biojectors to HMI for total sales revenue   
including syringes of $1.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively. HMI had   
not placed the great majority of these Biojectors with patients pending  
completion of negotiations with pharmaceutical companies for certain pricing   
concessions for medication to be administered with the Biojectors.  In   
January 1996, HMI requested that further shipments under the contract be   
suspended.  In February 1996, the Company learned from HMI's press releases   
that HMI expected to default under its loan, to take significant write-offs   
for accounts receivable and inventories, planned operational consolidations,   
and would restate certain prior period financial statements.  Subsequent to   
year end, the Company agreed to repurchase certain of the Biojector   
inventories (including up to 6,000 devices) which HMI had on hand for a   
total of $660,000 including $322,000 of forgiveness of accounts receivable   
and payment of $338,000 in two installments, one-half each in July and   
October 1996.  The Company was under no obligation to repurchase these   
inventories, and the repurchase is at a substantial discount to the original   
selling price to HMI.  
  
     In January 1995, the Company signed a distribution agreement with   
General Injectables & Vaccines, Inc. (GIV) for distribution of Bioject   
products to office-based physicians.  In September 1995, this program was   
terminated and all consigned inventory was returned to the Company.  
  
     The sale of new technologies to hospitals and large clinics can be a   
lengthy process.  Introduction of new technologies to a hospital or large   
clinic typically involves screening by many individuals and committees   
within the institution, including new product evaluation committees,   
infection control officers, medical staff and business office personnel.  In   
order to shorten the sales cycle, the Company has adopted a strategy that   
focuses initially on one or two departments, such as the outpatient clinic   
or pediatric specialty unit, that have high volumes of injections.  The   
Company determines the dynamics driving a sale at each institution, such as:    
risk management, budgetary restraints and needs.  Bioject sales   
representatives then arrange for hospital personnel to conduct a one to two-  
week Biojector 2000 evaluation.  Bioject sales personnel are present during   
the in-service training and  much of the evaluation process.   During each   
evaluation, Company sales representatives submit sales proposals to the   
customer.  
  
     The medical equipment market is highly competitive, and competition is   
likely to intensify.  Many of the Company's existing and potential   
competitors have been in business longer than the Company and have   
substantially greater technical, financial, marketing, sales and customer   
support resources.  The Company believes the primary competition for the   
Biojector 2000 system and other jet injectors it may develop is the   
traditional disposable needle-syringe and the "safety syringe."  Leading  
suppliers of needle-syringes include:  Becton-Dickinson & Co., Sherwood   
Medical Co., a subsidiary of American Home Products Corp., and Terumo Corp.   
of Japan.  Manufacturers of traditional needle-syringes compete primarily on   
price, which generally ranges from approximately $0.10 to $0.20 per unit.    
Manufacturers of "safety syringes" compete on features, quality and price.  
"Safety syringes" generally are priced in a range of $0.25 to $0.45 per   
unit.  
  
     The Company expects to compete with traditional needle-syringes and   
"safety syringes" based on healthcare worker safety, ease of use, reduced   
cost of disposal, patient comfort, and compliance with OSHA regulations, but   
not on purchase price.  However, the Company believes that when all indirect   
costs (including disposal of syringes and testing, treatment and workers'   
compensation expense related to needlestick injuries) are considered, the   
Biojector 2000 system will compete effectively.  See "Forward Looking   
Statements" and "Risk Factors."  
  
     The Company is not aware of any competing products with features and   
benefits comparable to the Biojector 2000 system. Manufacturers of needle-  
syringes, as well as other companies, may develop new products that compete   
directly or indirectly with the Company's products.  There can be no   
assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully in this   
market.  See "Risk Factors - Competition," "- Dependence on Single   
Technology."  A variety of new technologies (for example, transdermal   
patches) are being developed as alternatives to injection for drug delivery.    
While the Company does not believe such technologies have significantly   
affected the use of injection for drug delivery to date, there can be no   
assurance that they will not do so in the future.  
  
PATENTS AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS  
  
     The Company believes that technology incorporated in its injection   
device, single-dose disposable plastic syringes and products under   
development gives it significant advantages over the manufacturers of other   
jet injection systems and over prospective competitors seeking to develop   
similar systems.  The Company attempts to protect its technology through a   
combination of trade secrets, confidentiality agreements and procedures and  
patent prosecution.  
  
     The Company has three U.S. patents which were filed with respect to jet   
injection technology incorporated in earlier versions of its jet injection   
systems and which expire from July 2007 to November 2008. Six additional   
U.S. patents have been issued which protect developments incorporated in the   
Biojector 2000 system.  These patents incorporate a number of claims   
including claims regarding the jet injection system's design, method of   
operation, certain aspects of the syringe design and the method of   
manufacturing the syringe orifice.  The Company has also been granted   
patents relating to an electronic self-injection device and a drug mixing   
vial, newer technologies not yet incorporated in any product.  The Company   
has made additional patent filings regarding pre-filled syringe technologies   
and adapters for drug vial access.  The Company also generally files patent   
applications in Canada, Europe and Japan at the times and under the   
circumstances it deems filing to be appropriate under the procedures in   
place in each jurisdiction. There can be no assurance that any patents   
applied for will be granted or that patents held by the Company will be   
valid or sufficiently broad to protect the Company's technology or provide a   
significant competitive advantage.  See "Risk Factors."  
  
     The Company also relies on trade secrets and proprietary know-how that   
it seeks to protect through confidentiality agreements with its employees,   
consultants, suppliers and others. There can be no assurance that these   
agreements will not be breached, that the Company would have adequate   
remedies for any breach, or that the Company's trade secrets will not   
otherwise become known to or be developed independently by competitors.  In  
addition, the laws of foreign countries may not protect the Company's   
proprietary rights to its technology, including patent rights, to the same   
extent as the laws of the U.S.  
  
     Although the Company believes that it has independently developed its   
technology and attempts to assure that its products do not infringe the   
proprietary rights of others, if infringement were alleged and proved, there   
can be no assurance that the Company could obtain necessary licenses on   
terms and conditions that would not have an adverse affect on the Company.    
The Company is not aware of any asserted claim that the Biojector 2000 or   
any product under development violates the proprietary rights of any person.  
  
     If a dispute arises concerning the Company's technology, litigation   
that could result in substantial cost to and diversion of effort by the   
Company might be necessary to enforce the Company's patents, to protect the   
Company's trade secrets or know-how or to determine the scope of the    
proprietary rights of others.  Adverse findings in any proceeding could   
subject the Company to significant liabilities to third parties, require the  
Company to seek licenses from third parties or otherwise adversely affect   
the Company's ability to manufacture and sell its products.  
  
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION  
  
     The Company's products and manufacturing operations are subject to   
extensive government regulations, both in the U.S. and abroad.  In the U.S.,   
the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") administers the Federal Food, Drug   
and Cosmetic Act (the "FFDCA") and has adopted regulations, including those   
governing the introduction of new medical devices, the observation of   
certain standards and practices with respect to the manufacturing and   
labeling of medical devices, the maintenance of certain records and the   
reporting of device-related deaths, serious injuries, and certain   
malfunctions to the FDA. Manufacturing facilities and certain Company   
records are also subject to FDA inspections. The FDA has broad discretion in   
enforcing the FFDCA and the regulations thereunder, and noncompliance can   
result in a variety of regulatory steps ranging from warning letters,    
product detentions, device alerts or field corrections to mandatory recalls,   
seizures, injunctive actions and civil or criminal penalties.  
  
     The FFDCA provides that, unless exempted by regulation, medical devices   
may not be commercially distributed in the U.S. unless they have been    
cleared or approved by the FDA.  The FFDCA provides two basic review   
procedures for pre-market clearance or approval of medical devices.  Certain   
products qualify for a submission authorized by Section 510(k) of the FFDCA,   
wherein the manufacturer provides the FDA with a premarket notification   
("510(k) notification") of the manufacturer's intention to commence   
marketing the product.  The manufacturer must, among other things, establish   
in the 510(k) notification that the product to be marketed is substantially   
equivalent to another legally marketed product, (i.e., that it has the same   
intended use and that it as safe and effective as a legally marketed device   
and does not raise questions of safety and effectiveness that are different   
from those associated with the legally marketed device).  Marketing may   
commence when the FDA issues a letter finding substantial equivalence to   
such a legally marketed device.  The FDA may require, in connection with the   
510(k) submission, that it be provided with animal and/or human test   
results.  If a medical device does not qualify for the 510(k) procedure, the   
manufacturer must file a premarket approval ("PMA") application.  A PMA must   
show that the device is safe and effective and is generally a much more   
complex submission than a 510(k) notification typically requiring more   
extensive prefilling testing and a longer FDA review process.  
  
     A 510(k) notification is required when a device is being introduced   
into the market for the first time.  A 510(k) notification is also required   
when the manufacturer makes a change or modification to an already marketed   
device that could significantly affect safety or effectiveness, or where   
there is a major change or modification in the intended use of the device.  
When any change or modification is made in a device or its intended use, the   
manufacturer is expected to make the initial determination as to whether the   
change or modification is of a kind that would necessitate the filing of a   
new 510(k) notification.  The FDA's regulations provide only limited   
guidance in making this determination.  
  
     In April 1987, the Company received 510(k) marketing clearance from the   
FDA allowing the Company to market a hand-held CO2-powered jet injection   
system.  Although the Biojector 2000 system incorporates changes from the   
system with respect to which the Company's 1987 510(k) marketing clearance   
was received and expands its intended use, the Company made the   
determination that these were not major changes or modifications in intended    
use or changes in the device that could significantly affect the safety  
or effectiveness of the device and that, accordingly, the 1987 510(k)   
clearance permitted the Company to market the Biojector 2000 system in the   
U.S.  In  June 1994, the Company received clearance from the FDA under   
510(k) to market a version of its Biojector 2000 system in a configuration   
targeted at high volume injection applications.  The Company expects that   
the self-injection and other systems under development would require new  
510(k) submissions.  See "Research and Product Development" and "Forward   
Looking Statements".  However, there can be no assurance that the FDA will   
concur with the Company's determination that the product can be cleared via   
a 510(k) submission.  
  
     The Company continues to seek arrangements with pharmaceutical   
companies to develop pre-filled Biojector syringe applications to permit the   
pharmaceutical companies to market their products packaged in Biojector   
prefilled containers.  See "Research and Product Development."  Before pre-  
filled Biojector syringes may be distributed for use in the U.S., certain   
FDA-mandated stability tests may be required of those pharmaceutical  
companies.  Pre-filled syringes involve drugs packaged as a component of a   
medical device. It is current FDA policy that such pre-filled syringes,   
which are considered to be combination products, are evaluated by the FDA as   
drugs rather than medical devices.  Marketing of pre-filled syringes by   
pharmaceutical companies will require prior approval via a New or amended   
Drug Application ("NDA") or an Abbreviated New Drug Application ("ANDA").    
An NDA is a complex submission required to establish that a drug will be   
safe and effective for its intended uses.  An ANDA is a less detailed   
process which does not require, among other things, that the applicant   
provide complete reports of preclinical and clinical studies of safety and   
efficacy as are required for NDAs.  Assuming that the drugs used in the pre-  
filled syringes have previously been approved by the FDA for injection, the   
FDA will likely require that ANDAs, rather than NDAs, be submitted.  The   
Company believes that if a drug to be used in the Company's pre-filled   
syringe were already the subject of an approved NDA or ANDA for   
intramuscular or subcutaneous injection, the main issue affecting approval   
for use in the pre-filled syringe would be the adequacy of the syringe to   
store the drug, to assure its stability until used and to safely deliver  
the proper dose.  See "Forward Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors -   
Government Regulation."  
  
     The FDA also regulates the Company's quality control and manufacturing   
procedures by requiring the Company and its contract manufacturers to   
demonstrate compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practice ("GMP")   
Regulations.  These regulations require, among other things, that (i) the  
manufacturing process must be regulated and controlled by the use of written   
procedures and (ii) the ability to produce devices which meet the   
manufacturer's specifications must be validated by extensive and detailed   
testing of every aspect of the process. They also require investigation of   
any deficiencies in the manufacturing process or in the products produced   
and detailed record-keeping.  Further, the FDA's interpretation and   
enforcement of these requirements has been increasingly strict in recent   
years and seems likely to be even more stringent in the future.  Failure to   
adhere to GMP requirements would cause the products produced to be   
considered in violation of the Act and subject to enforcement action.  The   
FDA monitors compliance with these requirements by requiring manufacturers   
to register with the FDA, and subjecting them to periodic FDA inspections of  
manufacturing facilities.  If the inspector observes conditions that might   
be violative, the manufacturer must correct those conditions or explain them   
satisfactorily, or face potential regulatory action that might include   
physical removal of the product from the marketplace.  
  
     The FDA's Medical Device Reporting Regulation requires that the Company   
provide information to the FDA on the occurrence of any death or serious   
injuries alleged to have been associated with the use of the Company's   
products, as well as any product malfunction that would likely cause or   
contribute to a death or serious injury if the malfunction were to recur.    
In addition, FDA regulations prohibit a device from being marketed for  
unapproved or uncleared indications.  If the FDA believes that the company   
is not in compliance with these regulations, it can institute proceedings to   
detain or seize products, issue a recall, seek injunctive relief or assess   
civil and criminal penalties against such company.  
  
     The use and manufacture of the Company's products are subject to OSHA   
and other federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to such   
matters as safe working conditions for healthcare workers and Company   
employees, manufacturing practices, environmental protection and disposal of   
hazardous or potentially hazardous substances and the policies of hospitals  
and clinics relating to compliance therewith.  There can be no assurance   
that the Company will not be required to incur significant costs to comply   
with such laws, regulations or policies in the future, or that such laws,   
regulations or policies will not increase the costs or restrictions related   
to the use of the Company's products or otherwise have a materially adverse   
effect upon the Company's ability to do business.  See "Risk Factors."  
  
     Laws and regulations regarding the manufacture, sale and use of medical   
devices are subject to change and depend heavily on administrative    
interpretations.  There can be no assurance that future changes in   
regulations or interpretations made by the FDA, OSHA or other regulatory   
bodies, will not adversely affect the Company.  
  
     Sales of medical devices outside of the United States are subject to   
foreign regulatory requirements.  The requirements for obtaining premarket   
clearance or approval by a foreign country may differ from those required   
for FDA clearance or approval. Devices having an effective 510(k) clearance   
or PMA may be exported without further FDA authorization.  FDA authorization   
is generally required in order to export other medical devices.  
  
     The Company had in place a distribution agreement with Kobayashi   
Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd.  An application was made to the Japan Ministry of   
Health and Welfare to obtain the necessary approvals to market the Biojector   
2000 system in Japan which was not carried to completion by Kobayashi.  By   
mutual consent, the agreement between the companies expired on June 30,   
1995.  
  
RESEARCH AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT  
  
     Research and development efforts are focused on enhancing the Company's   
current product offerings and developing both new jet injection technology   
and new products.  The Company continues to use clinical, magnetic resonance   
imaging and tissue studies to determine the reliability and performance of   
new and existing products.  As of March 31, 1996, the Company's research and  
product development staff consisted of 10 employees.  During fiscal 1994,   
1995 and 1996, the Company spent $1.3 million, $1.4 million, and $1.5   
million, respectively, on research and development.  
  
     In April 1992, the Company entered into a multi-year agreement with Eli   
Lilly and Company ("Lilly") to develop a new, portable, reusable electronic   
jet injection system suitable for insulin self-injection. Under terms of the   
agreement, Lilly purchased 664,011 shares of the Company's common stock for   
$4.0 million and paid a one-time $500,000 fee for access to the Company's   
technology.  In addition, Lilly paid $1.0 million for Phase I (Proof of   
Concept) work, completed in March 1993.  The Company also received $575,000   
for initial Phase II (Design and Development) work completed in March 1994.    
During the last half of fiscal 1994, Lilly conducted its first market   
research utilizing three concept models for the insulin self injector.  
Following this market research, Lilly presented significant proposed   
revisions to the 1992 specifications for the device under development.    
Pending resolution of this matter, the project was put on hold.  In August   
1995 the Company met with Lilly representatives regarding the future   
development of an insulin self-injector.  Because the Company's injector   
design does not meet Lilly's size and cost goals, the Company and Lilly  
agreed to suspend any further development of a specialized insulin self   
injection device.  The Company does not anticipate attempting to complete   
development of this device without Lilly's participation.  All costs of the   
Lilly development contract have previously been expensed as research and   
development expenses.  
  
     In March 1994, the Company entered into an agreement with Schering AG,   
Germany, for the development of a self-injection device for delivery of   
Betaseron to multiple sclerosis patients. During fiscal 1995, the Company   
developed a proof-of-concept prototype and demonstrated this prototype to   
Schering.  The Company and Schering finalized product specifications.  The  
Company also commenced development of the preproduction clinical prototype.    
During fiscal 1996, the Company delivered the preproduction clinical   
prototypes to Schering and worked on finalizing the production prototype   
design.  Upon completion of development, the agreement provides that   
Schering will have seven-year exclusive rights to market the product world-  
wide for beta interferon applications at prices dependent upon specific  
volumes.  The Company maintains ownership of the underlying technology.    
Under terms of the agreement, in April 1994, Schering paid a one-time   
$500,000 licensing fee for access to the Company's technology and paid   
$600,000 as its contribution toward Phase I of the development.  In October   
1995 Schering paid $600,000 as its contribution toward Phase II development   
and $60,000 of additional costs associated with completion of Phase I.    
During fiscal 1997, the agreement provides for Schering to pay $300,000 for   
Phase III development costs on the schedule provided for in the agreement.   
As defined in the agreement, under certain  circumstances, the licensing and   
product development fees are convertible by Schering into common stock of   
the Company.  Schering has the right to cancel the agreement by notice to   
the Company before the end of Phase II or at any time during Phase III.    
 
     In January 1995, the Company signed a joint development agreement with   
Hoffmann-La Roche to develop proprietary drug delivery systems for Roche   
products.  The agreement provides for Bioject to develop, manufacture and   
sell Biojector needle-free drug delivery systems designed to Roche   
specifications.  In return, Bioject has granted Roche exclusive worldwide   
rights to distribute these systems and their components for use with  
certain Roche products.  Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. is the United States   
affiliate of the multinational group of companies headed by Roche Holding of   
Basel, Switzerland, one of the world's leading research-intensive healthcare   
companies.  As of 1995 fiscal year end, the Company had commenced design of   
a prototype device and had agreed with Roche on product specifications.  
During fiscal 1996, the Company developed and delivered to Roche   
preproduction prototypes for testing and developed the clinical   
preproduction prototypes which were delivered to Roche in April 1996.  In   
February 1995, Hoffmann-La Roche paid a one-time licensing fee totalling   
$500,000, and the agreement provides that it will pay specified product   
development fees on an agreed upon schedule of which $900,000 was paid in   
fiscal 1996.  
  
     In addition to activities described above, the Company is seeking   
arrangements with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies for the use of   
pre-filled syringes to eliminate the filling and measuring procedures   
associated with traditional injection of medications.  Before pre-filled   
Biojector syringes may be distributed for use in the U.S., these companies   
must commit to the packaging and distribution of their products in this   
manner and to the time and financial resources necessary for FDA review and   
approval. This process could be lengthy.  See "Business -- Government   
Regulation."  There can be no assurance that such companies will commit   
efforts to develop pre-filled packaging and pursue regulatory approval or   
that regulatory approval of pre-filled Biojector syringes will be obtained.  
  
     The Company intends to continue research and development efforts   
designed to further its understanding of the physics and physiology of jet   
injection.  These efforts will include further clinical studies to   
demonstrate efficacy of jet injection and to evaluate new products and   
enhancements to the Company's existing products.  To advance these studies,   
in April 1994 the Company formed a Department of Clinical Affairs research   
group, which initiates and coordinates these studies.  
  
MANUFACTURING  
  
     The Company assembles the Biojector 2000 and related syringes from   
components purchased from outside suppliers.  Prior to introduction of the   
Biojector 2000 system in 1993, the Company had not engaged in manufacturing   
on a commercial scale.  However, in connection with that introduction, the   
Company increased its manufacturing capabilities and built inventories to   
support anticipated product sales.  
  
     Throughout fiscal 1994 and 1995, the Company's manufacturing processes   
were primarily manual.  These processes did not permit the Company to   
produce its products at costs which would allow it to operate profitably.    
During fiscal 1996, the Company implemented a plan to increase manufacturing   
capacity and refine production methods to meet anticipated future demand and   
to reduce product costs.  For the Biojector 2000, cost reduction efforts   
included converting from a two piece to a one piece housing, converting to   
continuous process manufacturing and implementing volume purchasing programs   
from suppliers.  For the Biojector syringes, these efforts included   
increasing supplier mold capacity and automating final assembly and   
packaging.  See "Risk Factors - Limited Manufacturing Experience, Need to   
Reduce Unit Cost."  
  
     During fiscal 1997, the Company's manufacturing activities will be   
focused on retesting the devices repurchased from HMI to ensure their   
continuing compliance with new product standards and to selectively   
upgrading certain of these units to current version configuration.    
Manufacturing will also be actively focused on finalizing product   
engineering and on planning for, designing and bringing up the new Schering   
device and syringe manufacturing lines in advance of product launch.  
  
     In order to succeed in expanding manufacturing capacity and reducing   
unit production cost, the Company must attract and retain qualified assembly   
workers and must establish and maintain relationships with suppliers that   
can deliver large numbers of components meeting applicable quality standards   
in a timely and reliable manner at acceptable prices.  
  
EMPLOYEES  
  
     As of March 31, 1996, the Company had 47 full-time employees with 10   
employees engaged in research and product development, 8 in sales and   
marketing, 20 in manufacturing and 9 in administration. The Company engages   
a limited number of part-time consultants who participate in research   
activities.  The Company also employs temporary contract workers primarily   
for assembly operations, the number of which varies, depending upon   
production requirements.  As of March 31, 1996, there was one consultant and  
one contract/temporary worker employed by the Company.  None of the   
Company's employees is represented by a labor union.  
  
  
PRODUCT LIABILITY  
  
     The Company believes that its products reliably inject medications both   
subcutaneously and intramuscularly when used in accordance with product   
guidelines.  The Company's current insurance policies provide coverage at   
least equal to an aggregate limit of $6 million with respect to certain   
product liability claims.  The Company has not experienced any product  
liability claims to date.  There can be no assurance, however, that the   
Company will not become subject to such claims, that the Company's current   
insurance would cover such claims, or that insurance will continue to be   
available to the Company in the future.  The Company's business may be   
adversely affected by product liability claims.  
  
RISK FACTORS  
  
     Investment in securities of the Company involves a high degree of risk.    
The following factors, among others, should be considered by investors.  
  
UNCERTAINTY OF MARKET ACCEPTANCE.   The Company's success will depend upon   
market acceptance of its jet injection drug delivery system, the Biojector   
2000 system, and, to other products under development. Currently, the   
dominant technology used for intramuscular and subcutaneous injections is   
the hollow-needle syringe.  Needle-syringes, while low in cost, have   
limitations, particularly relating to contaminated needlestick injuries.    
Use of the Biojector 2000 system for intramuscular and subcutaneous   
injections virtually eliminates the associated risk of these injuries;   
however, the cost per injection is significantly higher.  As with any new  
technology, there can be no assurance that the Biojector 2000 system will   
compete successfully.  A previous jet injection system manufactured by the   
Company did not achieve market acceptance and is no longer being marketed.    
The Biojector 2000 was introduced in January 1993.  To date the major   
portion of sales have been sales to HMI that were not placed in service and  
which the Company has agreed to repurchase at a substantial discount to the   
original selling price.  Failure of the Biojector 2000 system to gain market   
acceptance would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial   
condition and results of operations.   
  
HISTORY OF LOSSES; UNCERTAIN PROFITABILITY.  Since its formation in 1985,   
the Company has incurred significant annual operating losses and negative   
cash flow.  At March 31, 1996 the Company had an accumulated deficit of   
$30.0 million.  The Company's revenues to date have been derived primarily   
from licensing and technology fees, and from product sales, which were   
principally sales to dealers for the stocking of inventories and to HMI.    
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate   
significant revenues or achieve profitability.  See "Management's Discussion   
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."  
  
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING.  The Company anticipates that the cash on   
hand at March 31, 1996 combined with revenues and other cash receipts, will   
be sufficient to meet the cash requirements of the Company's operations   
through fiscal 1997.  See "Forward Looking Statements."  Additional   
financing will be required at the beginning of fiscal 1998.  However, the   
Company may require additional capital sooner for a number of reasons,   
including poor operating results, unanticipated expenses, growth which is   
more rapid than anticipated, or new product development programs. Failure to   
obtain needed additional capital on terms acceptable to the Company, or at   
all, would significantly restrict the Company's  operations and ability to   
continue product development and growth and materially adversely affect the   
Company's business.  See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial  
Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources."  
  
LIMITED MANUFACTURING EXPERIENCE; NEED TO REDUCE UNIT COST.  The Company has   
limited experience manufacturing its products in commercial quantities.  The   
Company has increased its production capacity for the Biojector 2000 system   
through automation of, and changes in, production methods.  The current cost   
per injection of the Biojector 2000 system is substantially higher than that   
of traditional needle-syringes, its principal competition.  A key element of   
the Company's business strategy is to reduce the overall system cost through   
automating production and packaging. The Company has experienced and may   
continue to experience setbacks and delays in its cost reduction efforts   
including failure to deliver reduced cost parts to specifications.  There  
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to develop and implement   
effective high volume production or achieve necessary unit cost reductions.    
Failure to do either would adversely affect the Company's financial   
condition and results of operations.  See "Management's Discussion and   
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation" and  
"Manufacturing."  
  
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION.  The Company's products and manufacturing   
operations are subject to extensive government regulation, both in the U.S.   
and abroad.  In the U.S., the development, manufacture, marketing and   
promotion of medical devices are regulated by the Food and Drug   
Administration ("FDA") under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act   
("FFDCA").  In 1987, the Company received clearance from the FDA under   
Section 510(k) of the FFDCA to market a hand-held CO2-powered jet injection   
system.  The FFDCA provides that new premarket notifications under Section   
510(k) of the FFDCA are required to be filed when, among other things, there   
is a major change or modification in the intended use of a device or a   
change or modification to a legally marketed device that could significantly   
affect its safety or effectiveness.  A device manufacturer is expected to   
make the initial determination as to whether the change to its device or its   
intended use is of a kind that would necessitate the filing of a new 510(k)   
notification. Although the Biojector 2000 system incorporates changes from   
the system with respect to which the Company's 1987 510(k) marketing   
clearance was received and expands its intended use, the Company made the   
determination that these were not major changes or modifications in intended   
use or changes in the device that could significantly affect the safety or   
effectiveness of the device and that, accordingly, the 1987 510(k) clearance   
permitted the Company to market the Biojector 2000 system in the U.S.  In   
June 1994, the Company received clearance from the FDA under 510(k) to   
market a version of its Biojector 2000 system in a configuration targeted at   
high volume injection applications.   
  
Future changes to manufacturing procedures could necessitate the filing of a   
new 510(k) notification.  Also, future products, product enhancements or   
changes, or changes in product use may require clearance under Section   
510(k), or they may require FDA premarket approval ("PMA") or other   
regulatory approvals.  PMAs and these other regulatory approvals generally   
involve more extensive prefilling testing that a 510(k) clearance and a   
longer FDA review process.  Under current FDA policy, applications involving   
prefilled syringes would he evaluated by the FDA as drugs rather than   
devices, requiring NDAs or ANDAs.  See "Governmental Regulation."  Depending   
on the circumstances, drug regulation can be more bureaucratic and time   
consuming than device regulation.  
  
FDA regulatory processes are time consuming and expensive, and there can be   
no assurance that product applications submitted by the Company will be   
cleared or approved by the FDA.  In addition, the Company's products must be   
manufactured in compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices ("GMP")   
specified in regulations under the FDA Act.  The FDA has broad discretion in   
enforcing the FDA Act, and noncompliance with the Act could result in a   
variety of regulatory actions ranging product detentions, device alerts  
or field corrections, to mandatory recalls, seizures, injunctive actions,   
and civil or criminal penalties.  
  
Distribution of the Company's products in countries other than the U.S. may   
be subject to regulation in those countries.  An application was made to the   
Japan Ministry of Health and Welfare to obtain necessary approvals to market   
the Biojector 2000 system in Japan which was not carried to completion by   
the Company's then Japanese distributor.  See "Governmental Regulation."  
  
UNCERTAINTY IN HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY; GOVERNMENT HEALTHCARE REFORM.  
The healthcare industry is subject to changing political, economic and   
regulatory influences that may affect the procurement practices and   
operations of healthcare facilities. During the past several years, the   
healthcare industry has been subject to increased government regulation of   
reimbursement rates and capital expenditures.  Among other things, third   
party payers are increasingly attempting to contain healthcare costs by  
limiting both coverage and reimbursement levels for healthcare products and   
procedures.  Because the price of the Biojector 2000 system exceeds the   
price of needle injection systems, cost control policies of third party   
payers, including government agencies, may adversely affect use of the   
Biojector 2000 system.  
  
DEPENDENCE ON THIRD-PARTY RELATIONSHIPS.  The Company is dependent on third   
parties for distribution of the Biojector 2000 system to certain market   
segments, for the manufacture of component parts, and for assistance with   
the development and distribution of its future Betaseron self-injection and  
application specific systems.  
  
The Company intends to seek relationships to distribute to the physician   
office market in the future. Past dealer relationships have not been   
successful. There can be no assurance that the Company's  future dealers   
will provide sufficient sales support to establish the Company's current   
product.  See "Marketing and Competition."  
  
The Company's current manufacturing processes for the Biojector 2000 jet   
injector and disposable syringes consist primarily of assembly of component   
parts supplied by outside suppliers. Certain of these components are   
currently obtained from single sources, with some components requiring   
significant production lead times.  In the past, the Company has experienced   
delays in the delivery of certain components, although to date no such   
delays have had a material adverse effect on the Company's operations.    
There can be no assurance that the Company will not experience delays in the   
future, or that such delays would not have a material adverse effect on the   
Company's financial condition and result of operations.  See    
"Manufacturing."  
  
The Company has entered into agreements with certain major pharmaceutical   
companies for development and distribution of its jet injection systems.    
These companies have the right to terminate these agreements at certain   
phases as defined in the agreements.  There can be no assurance these   
companies interest and participation in the projects will continue.  Failure   
to receive additional funding from these companies could adversely affect   
the development and production of the products involved and,   
correspondingly, the Company's financial condition and results of   
operations.  See "Research and Product Development."  
  
ABILITY TO MANAGE GROWTH.  If the Company's products achieve market   
acceptance, the Company expects to achieve rapid growth. This growth   
strategy will require expanded customer services and support, increased   
personnel throughout the Company, expanded operational and financial   
systems, and the implementation of new control procedures.  There can be no   
assurance that the Company will be able to attract qualified personnel or   
successfully manage expanded operations.  As the Company expands, it may   
from time to time experience constraints that would adversely affect its   
ability to satisfy customer demand in a timely fashion. Failure to manage   
growth effectively could adversely affect the Company's financial condition   
and results of operations.  
  
COMPETITION.  The medical equipment market is highly competitive and   
competition is likely to intensify.  The Company's products compete   
primarily with traditional needle-syringes, "safety syringes" and also with   
other alternative drug delivery systems. While the Company believes its   
products provide a superior drug delivery method, there can be no assurance   
that the Company will be able to compete successfully with existing drug   
delivery products.  Many of the Company's competitors have longer operating   
histories as well as substantially greater financial, technical, marketing   
and customer support resources than the Company.  There can be no assurance   
that one or more of these competitors will not develop an alternative drug   
delivery system that competes more directly with the Company's products, or   
that the Company's products would be able to compete successfully with such   
a product.  See "Marketing and Competition."  
  
DEPENDENCE ON SINGLE TECHNOLOGY.  The Company's strategy has been to focus   
its development and marketing efforts on its jet injection technology.  This   
focus renders the Company particularly sensitive to competing products and   
alternative drug delivery systems.  The Company believes that healthcare   
providers' desire to minimize the use of the traditional needle-syringe has   
stimulated development of a variety of alternative drug delivery system such   
as "safety syringes," jet injection systems and transdermal diffusion   
"patches."  In addition, pharmaceutical companies frequently attempt to   
develop drugs for oral delivery instead of injection.  
  
While the Company believes that for the foreseeable future there will   
continue to be a significant need for injections, there can be no assurance   
that alternative drug delivery methods will not be developed which are   
preferable to injection.  See "Marketing and Competition."  
  
PATENTS AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.  The Company relies on a combination of   
trade secrets, confidentiality agreements and procedures, and patent   
prosecution to protect its proprietary technologies.  The Company has been   
granted six patents in the United States and two patents in certain other   
countries covering certain technology embodied in its current jet injection   
system and certain manufacturing processes.  Additional patent applications   
are pending in the U.S and certain foreign countries.  There can be no   
assurance that the claims contained in any patent application will be   
allowed, or that any patent will provide adequate protection for the   
Company's products and technology.  In the absence of patent protection, the   
Company may be vulnerable to competitors who attempt to copy the Company's  
products or gain access to its trade secrets and know-how. In addition, the   
laws of foreign countries may not protect the Company's proprietary rights   
to this technology to the same extent as the laws of the U.S.  The Company   
believes that it has independently developed its technology and attempts to   
ensure that its products do not infringe the proprietary rights of others,   
and the Company knows of no infringement claims. However, any such claims   
could have a material adverse affect on the Company's financial condition   
and results of operations.  See "Patents and Proprietary Rights."  
  
PRODUCT LIABILITY.  Producers of medical devices may face substantial   
liability for damages in the event of product failure or if it is alleged   
the product caused harm.  The Company currently maintains product liability   
insurance and has not experienced any product liability claims to date.    
There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will not be subject to  
such claims, that the Company's current insurance would cover such claims   
and that adequate insurance will continue to be available on acceptable   
terms to the Company in the future.  The Company's business could be   
adversely affected by product liability claims.  See "Product Liability."  
  
DEPENDENCE UPON KEY EMPLOYEES.  The Company's success is dependent upon the   
retention of its executive officers and other key employees.  Competition   
exists for qualified personnel, and the Company's success will depend in   
part upon attracting and retaining such personnel.  Failure in these efforts   
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial  
condition or results of operations.  
  
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE.  Of the 15,585,232 shares of common stock   
currently outstanding, 1,500,000 of these shares were held in escrow for WAM   
Partnership, a limited partnership of which Mr. Carl Wilcox is the managing   
partner.  Subsequent to year end, the shares were released from escrow and   
may be sold. In November and December of 1995, the Company completed a   
private placement of 2,303,009 units (each unit representing one share of  
common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock).  The   
Company also granted a warrant to its placement agent in the private   
placement to purchase 137,086 shares of common stock.  The shares issued in   
the private placement were registered for resale on a Registration Statement   
on Form S-3. The Company also granted registration rights with respect to   
the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants.  Sales of substantial   
numbers of shares of common stock in the public market, or the availability   
of such shares for sale, could adversely affect the market price for the   
common stock and make it more difficult for the Company to raise funds   
through equity offerings in the future.  
  
POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON TRADING MARKET. The Common Stock is quoted on   
the NASDAQ National Market.  There are a number of continuing requirements   
that must be met in order for the Common Stock offered hereby to remain   
eligible for quotation on the NASDAQ National Market or the NASDAQ Small Cap   
Market. The failure to meet these maintenance criteria in the future could  
result in the delisting of the Company's Common Stock from NASDAQ.  In such   
event, trading, if any, in the Common Stock may then continue to be   
conducted in the non-NASDAQ over-the-counter market.  As a result, an   
investor may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate   
quotations as to the market value of, the Company's Common Stock.  In   
addition, if the Common Stock were delisted from trading on NASDAQ and the   
trading price of the Common Stock were less than $5.00 per share, trading in  
the Common Stock would be subject to the requirements of certain rules   
promulgated under the Exchange Act, which require broker-dealers to make   
additional disclosures and to implement additional procedures in connection   
with any trades involving a stock defined as a penny stock. The additional   
burdens imposed upon broker-dealers may discourage broker-dealers from   
effecting transactions in penny stocks, which could reduce the liquidity of  
the shares of Common Stock and thereby have a material adverse effect on the   
trading market for the securities.  
  
POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE.  The market for the Company's common   
stock and for the securities of other early stage, small market-  
capitalization companies is highly volatile.  The Company believes that   
factors such as quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in financial results, new   
product introductions by the Company or its competition, public   
announcements, changing regulatory environments, sales of Common Stock by   
certain existing shareholders and substantial product orders could   
contribute to the volatility of the price of the Company's Common Stock,  
causing it to fluctuate dramatically.  General economic trends such as   
recessionary cycles and changing interest rates may also adversely affect   
the market price of the Company's Common Stock. See  "Market for the   
Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters."  
  
Item 2.     PROPERTIES  
  
     The Company's principal offices are located in Portland, Oregon in    
approximately 24,000 square feet of leased office and manufacturing space   
under a lease which expires in September 1997.  The monthly minimum lease   
obligation for this facility is approximately $15,000.  These facilities   
include the Company's sales and administration offices and equipment,   
research and engineering facilities, a clean room assembly area, assembly  
line, testing facilities and a warehouse area.  
  
     During fiscal 1995, the Company leased additional warehouse space   
totalling approximately 5,000 square feet for finished goods storage and   
shipments to customers.  This lease, which also expires in September 1997,   
has minimum monthly lease obligations totalling $1,900.  
  
     The Company believes its current facilities will be sufficient to   
support its operations for the coming year.  The Company has options to   
renew both leases for additional five-year terms.  As the Company requires   
additional space to accommodate growth in its sales and manufacturing   
activities, it is the Company's intention to lease additional facilities   
adjacent to or near its present operations.  The Company believes that, if  
necessary, it will be able to obtain facilities at rates and under terms   
comparable to those under the current leases.

Item 7.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  
            CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  
  
OVERVIEW  
  
     Operating losses have resulted in an accumulated deficit of   
approximately $30.0 million as of March 31, 1996.  In fiscal 1994, 1995 and   
1996, the Company incurred significantly increased costs associated with the   
production and sales of the Biojector 2000 system, including sales and   
marketing efforts, manufacturing ramp-up and inventory build-up.  The   
Company has been working on a product cost reduction program which commenced   
phase-in during fiscal 1996.  Because of the significant changes in the   
Company's operations relating to introduction of the Biojector 2000 system  
and manufacturing changes, the financial position, results of operations and   
cash flows of the Company presented on an historical basis may not be   
indicative of future results.  The Company's ability to achieve and sustain   
profitability will depend in part upon customer acceptance of the Biojector   
2000 system, sustained product performance, implementing product cost   
reductions and attaining revenues sufficient to support profitable   
operations.  
  
     In August 1994, Bioject signed an agreement with Homecare Management,   
Inc. (HMI), granting HMI exclusive rights to purchase Bioject's Needle-Free   
Injection Management System (trademark), the Biojector 2000, for use in the   
home healthcare market. In return for HMI's commitment to purchase a minimum   
of 8,000 Biojector units over the ensuing two years, the Company granted   
volume pricing discounts to HMI.  During the term of the contract, the   
selling price of Biojectors to HMI exceeded their standard cost.  During   
fiscal 1995 and 1996, the Company sold approximately 2,100 and 4,300   
Biojectors to HMI for total sales revenue including syringes of $1.1 million   
and $2.2 million, respectively. HMI did not place the great majority of   
these Biojectors with patients pending completion of negotiations with   
pharmaceutical companies for certain pricing concessions for medication to   
be administered with the Biojectors.  In January 1996 HMI requested that   
Bioject suspend shipments to HMI.  In February 1996, the Company learned   
from HMI's press releases that HMI expected to default under its loan, to   
take significant write-offs for accounts receivable and inventories, planned   
operational consolidations, and would restate certain prior period financial  
statements.  Subsequent to year end, although not obligated to do so, the   
Company agreed to repurchase certain of the HMI inventories, including up to   
6,000 Biojector units, for cash and forgiveness of accounts receivable   
totalling $660,000.  The repurchase of these inventories was on at a   
substantial discount to the original selling price to HMI.  
  
     In March 1994, the Company entered into an agreement with Schering AG,   
Germany, for the development of a self-injection device for delivery of   
Betaseron to multiple sclerosis patients. During fiscal 1995, the Company   
developed a proof-of-concept prototype and demonstrated this prototype to   
Schering.  The Company and Schering finalized product specifications.  The  
Company also commenced development of the preproduction clinical prototype.    
During fiscal 1996, the Company delivered the preproduction clinical   
prototypes to Schering and worked on finalizing the production prototype   
design.  Upon completion of development, the agreement provides that   
Schering will have a seven-year exclusive right to market the product world-  
wide for beta interferon applications at prices dependent upon specific  
volumes.  The Company maintains ownership of the underlying technology.    
Under terms of the agreement, in April 1994, Schering paid a one-time   
$500,000 licensing fee for access to the Company's technology and paid   
$600,000 as its contribution toward Phase I of the development.  In October   
1995 Schering paid $600,000 as its contribution toward Phase II development   
and $60,000 of additional costs associated with completion of Phase I.    
During fiscal 1997, the agreement provides for Schering to pay $300,000 for   
Phase III development costs on the schedule provided for in the agreement.   
As defined in the agreement, under certain  circumstances, the licensing and   
product development fees are convertible by Schering into common stock of   
the Company.  Schering has the right to cancel the agreement by notice to   
the Company before the end of Phase II or at any time during Phase III.    
 
     In January 1995, the Company signed a joint development agreement with   
Hoffmann-La Roche to develop proprietary drug delivery systems for Roche   
products.  The agreement provides for Bioject to develop, manufacture and   
sell Biojector needle-free drug delivery systems designed to Roche   
specifications.  In return, Bioject has granted Roche exclusive worldwide   
rights to distribute these systems and their components for use with certain   
Roche products.  Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. is the United States affiliate of   
the multinational group of companies headed by Roche Holding of Basel,   
Switzerland, one of the world's leading research-intensive healthcare   
companies.  As of 1995 fiscal year end, the Company had commenced design of   
a prototype device and had agreed with Roche on product specifications.   
During fiscal 1996, the Company developed and delivered to Roche   
preproduction prototypes for testing and developed the clinical   
preproduction prototypes which were delivered to Roche in April 1996.  In   
February 1995, Hoffmann-La Roche paid a one-time licensing fee totalling   
$500,000 and the agreement provides that it will pay specified product   
development fees on an agreed upon schedule of which $700,000 was paid in   
fiscal 1996.  
  
     Throughout fiscal 1994 and 1995, the Company's manufacturing processes   
were primarily manual.  These processes did not permit the Company to   
produce its products at costs which would allow it to operate profitably.    
During fiscal 1996, the Company implemented a plan to increase manufacturing   
capacity and refine production methods to meet anticipated future demand and   
to reduce product costs.  For the Biojector 2000, cost reduction efforts   
included converting from a two piece to a one piece housing, converting to   
continuous process manufacturing and implementing volume purchasing programs   
from suppliers.  For the Biojector syringes, these efforts included    
increasing supplier mold capacity and automating final assembly and   
packaging. During fiscal 1997, the Company's manufacturing activities will  
be focused on retesting the devices repurchased from HMI to ensure their   
continuing compliance with new product standards and to electively upgrading   
certain of these units to current version configuration.  Manufacturing will   
also be actively focused on finalizing product engineering and on planning   
for, designing and bringing up the new Schering device and syringe   
manufacturing lines in advance of product launch.  
  
     The Company's revenues to date have not been sufficient to cover   
operating expenses.  However, the Company believes that if its products   
achieve market acceptance and the volume of sales increases, and its product   
costs are reduced, its costs of goods as a percentage of sales will decrease   
and eventually the Company will generate net income.  See "Forward Looking   
Statements" and "Business - Risk Factors." The level of sales required to   
generate net income will be affected by a number of factors including the   
pricing of the Company's products, its ability to attain efficiencies that   
can be attained through volume and automated manufacturing, and the impact   
of inflation on the Company's manufacturing and other operating costs.    
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully  
implement its manufacturing cost reduction program or sell its products at   
prices or in volumes sufficient to achieve profitability or offset increases   
in its costs should they occur.  
  
     Revenues and results of operations have fluctuated and can be expected   
to continue to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and from year   
to year.  Various factors may affect quarterly and yearly operating results   
including (i) length of time to close product sales, (ii) customer budget   
cycles, (iii) implementation of cost reduction measures, (iv) uncertainties   
and changes in purchasing due to third party payor policies and proposals   
relating to national healthcare reform, (v) timing and amount of payments   
under technology development agreements and (vi) timing of new product   
introductions by the Company and its competition.  
  
     Subsequent to year end, the British Columbia Securities Commission   
informed the Company that its Executive Director (formerly the   
Superintendent of Brokers) consented to the release of all shares originally   
held in escrow pursuant to an escrow agreement dated May 30, 1986.  This   
means that the 1.5 million shares of common stock which had been held under   
this escrow arrangement since the Company's initial public offering in July  
1986 are now held by the owners of the shares without risk of cancellation   
and may be sold.  As previously disclosed, a non-cash charge to compensation   
expense is required to be recorded for approximately 150,000 of the shares   
being released from the escrow account.  Such charge totalling $210,938 will   
be recorded in the financial statements in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.  
  
     In the future, the Company may incur a non-cash charge to compensation   
expense in connection with the issuance of 100,000 shares of Common Stock to   
the Company's Chief Executive Officer. Under terms of his employment   
agreement, the Company's Chairman will receive 100,000 shares of common   
stock when the Company first achieves two consecutive quarters of positive   
earnings per share.  Upon issuance of such shares the Company will record a  
non-cash charge to compensation at the fair market value of the stock on the   
last day of the quarter in which the shares are earned.  
  
     During the next fiscal year, the Company will continue to focus its   
efforts on expanding sales, reducing the cost of its products, developing   
the self-injectors for Schering and Hoffmann-La Roche, pursuing additional   
alliances with pharmaceutical companies and conserving its fiscal resources.    
The Company does not expect to report net income from operations in fiscal   
1997. See "Forward Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors."  
  
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  
  
     Product sales increased from $513,000 in fiscal 1994 to $1.5 million in   
fiscal 1995 and to $3.1 million in fiscal 1996.  Sales in fiscal 1994    
consisted primarily of sales to hospital and physician office dealers for   
stocking orders.  Sales in fiscal 1995 consisted of $1.1 million of sales to   
Health Management Inc., and the remainder to hospitals, large clinics,   
individual physician offices and certain selected distributors.  Sales in  
fiscal 1996 consisted of $2.3 million of sales to HMI with the remainder   
primarily to public health and flu immunization clinics.  
  
     License and technology fees varied from $950,000 in fiscal 1994 to $1.4   
million in fiscal 1995 and $1.2 million in fiscal 1996.  All of the fiscal   
1994 fees related to amounts payable to the Company under a product   
development agreement with Lilly. The fiscal 1995 fees included a one-time   
$500,000 licensing fee for access to the Company's technology received from   
Schering and a similar one-time $500,000 licensing fee received from   
Hoffmann-La Roche with the balance of the fiscal 1995 fees consisting of  
product development revenues recognized in connection with the Schering   
agreement.  The fiscal 1996 fees consisted entirely of product development   
revenues recognized for work performed under  
the Schering and Hoffmann-La Roche agreements.  
  
     Manufacturing expense increased from $1.8 million in fiscal 1994 to   
$3.4 million in fiscal 1995, and $5.2 million in fiscal 1996 due to   
increased sales and, therefore, to increases in the total costs of product   
sold.  The increase from fiscal 1994 to 1995 also reflects excess labor and   
materials expenses and greater manufacturing overhead costs due to the   
addition of manufacturing engineering staff.  The increase from 1995 to 1996  
reflects increased regulatory and quality assurance staff to support the   
higher level of manufacturing and increased depreciation expense associated   
with the automated assembly equipment installed during fiscal 1996.  
  
     Research and development expense increased slightly from $1.3 million   
in fiscal 1994 to $1.4 million in fiscal 1995 and $1.5 million in fiscal   
1996.  Fiscal 1994 expenditures related primarily to product support for the   
Biojector 2000 and expanded research and development efforts associated with   
the Lilly agreement.  Fiscal 1995 expenditures related to work associated  
with development of the Schering device and to initial work on the Hoffmann-  
La Roche device.  Fiscal 1996 expenditures related entirely to work   
performed under the Schering and Hoffmann-La Roche agreements.  
  
     Selling, general and administrative expense totalled $3.0 million, $4.2   
million, and $3.2 million in fiscal 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The   
increase from fiscal 1994 to 1995 related to several factors including   
expenses incurred in connection with C.E.O. transition totalling   
approximately $780,000 (or $0.06 per share) and to increases in legal,   
insurance, bad debt and certain promotional expenses.  The decrease from   
fiscal 1995 to 1996 resulted from the CEO transition expenses incurred in   
fiscal 1995 that were not repeated in fiscal 1996 and from planned reduction  
in overhead personnel.  
  
     Other income consists of earnings on available cash balances. Other   
income totalled $252,000 in fiscal 1994, $428,000 in fiscal 1995, and   
$211,000 in fiscal 1996 and varied as a result of changes in cash balances   
and interest rates.  
  
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES  
  
    Since its inception in 1985, the Company has financed its operations,   
working capital needs and capital expenditures primarily from private   
placements of securities, exercises of stock options, proceeds received from   
its initial public offering in 1986, proceeds received from a public   
offering of Common Stock in November 1993, licensing and technology revenues   
and more recently from sales of products and a private placement of common  
stock completed in fiscal 1996 with net proceeds of approximately $3.5   
million.  Net proceeds received upon issuance of securities from inception   
through March 31, 1996 totalled approximately $36.0 million.  The Company   
has no long-term debt.  
  
    Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totalled $11.9 million   
at March 31, 1994, $6.0 million at March 31, 1995, and $4.1 million at March   
31, 1996, which represented a decrease of $5.9 million from 1994 to 1995 and   
a decrease of $1.9 million from 1995 to 1996. The decrease from 1994 to 1995   
resulted from operating losses and from capital expenditures primarily for  
manufacturing operations.  The decrease from 1995 to 1996 resulted from   
operating losses and capital expenditures offset in part by net proceeds   
from a private placement of common stock and warrants in November and   
December 1995.  
  
     Inventories increased from $1.1 million at March 31, 1995 to $1.3   
million at March 31, 1996 due to the build-up of inventories to support   
anticipated future product sales.  
  
     The Company has fixed commitments for facilities rent, equipment leases   
and the repurchase of certain inventories which total approximately $922,000   
for fiscal 1997.  
  
     The Company expects to expend approximately $2.0 million for capital   
equipment in fiscal 1997.  Substantially all of these expenditures are   
related to ramp-up of manufacturing for the Schering product launch.  Based   
on its discussions with Schering, the Company anticipates that up to $1.6   
million of these expenditures will be funded by interest bearing loans to   
$1.6 million to be provided by Schering with repayment by Bioject over  
a period of 4 to 5.5 years.  
  
     The Company believes that its current cash position and loans from   
Schering combined with revenues and other cash receipts will be adequate to   
fund the Company's operations through fiscal 1997. See "Forward Looking   
Statements." Thereafter, the Company is likely to require additional  
financing.  However, unforeseen costs and expenses or lower than anticipated   
cash receipts from product sales or research and development activities   
could accelerate the financing requirement. The Company has been successful   
in raising additional financing in the past and believes that sufficient   
funds will be available to fund future operations. See "Forward Looking   
Statements." However, there can be no assurance that such financing will be  
available on favorable terms or at all. Failure to obtain additional   
financing when required would significantly restrict the Company's   
operations and ability to continue product development, and materially   
adversely affect the Company's business.  The Company has no banking line of   
credit or other established source of borrowing.  
  
EFFECT OF NEWLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS  
  
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement   
No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), which    
establishes a fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based   
compensation plans and requires additional disclosures for those companies   
that elect not to adopt the new method of accounting. The Company will   
continue to account for stock options under APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting   
for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123 disclosure requirements become  
applicable for the Company in fiscal 1997.   
  
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.   
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived   
Assets To Be Disposed Of"(SFAS 121), which requires the Company to review   
for impairment of its long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles   
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying   
amount of an asset might not be recoverable. In certain situations, an   
impairment loss would be recognized. SFAS 121 will become effective for the   
Company's year ending March 31, 1997.  The Company has studied the   
implications of SFAS 121 and, based on its initial evaluation, does not   
expect it to have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or   
results of operations.

               BIOJECT MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES  
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
  
1.     THE COMPANY:  
  
The consolidated financial statements of Bioject Medical Technologies Inc.   
and its subsidiaries (the "Company"), include the accounts of Bioject   
Medical Technologies Inc. ("BMT") and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Bioject   
Medical Systems Ltd. ("BMSL") and Bioject Inc. ("BI"). All significant   
intercompany transactions have been eliminated. BMT was incorporated on  
December 17, 1992 under the laws of the State of Oregon for the purpose of   
acquiring all of the outstanding common shares of BMSL in exchange for an   
equivalent number of common shares of BMT stock under a plan of U.S.   
reincorporation approved by the Company's shareholders on November 20, 1992.   
BMSL was incorporated on February 14, 1985, under the laws of British   
Columbia, and BI was incorporated on February 8, 1985, under the laws of the   
State of Oregon.  
  
The Company commenced operations in 1985 for the purpose of developing,   
manufacturing and distributing a new drug delivery system. Since its   
formation, the Company has been engaged principally in organizational,   
financing, research and development, and marketing activities. In the last   
quarter of fiscal 1993, the Company launched U.S. distribution of its  
Biojector 2000 system primarily to the hospital and large clinic market.  
  
The Company's products and manufacturing operations are subject to extensive   
government regulation, both in the U.S. and abroad. In the U.S., the   
development, manufacture, marketing and promotion of medical devices is   
regulated by the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") under the Federal   
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act ("FFDCA"). In 1987, the Company received   
clearance from the FDA under Section 510(k) of the FFDCA to market a hand-  
held CO2-powered jet injection system. In June 1994, the Company received  
clearance from the FDA under 510(k) to market a version of its Biojector   
2000 system in a configuration targeted at high volume injection   
applications.  
  
The Company's revenues to date have been derived primarily from licensing   
and technology fees and more recently from sales of the Biojector 2000   
system and Biojector syringes to public health clinics and to Health   
Management Inc. with whom the Company signed an two-year distribution   
agreement in fiscal 1995. Subsequent to year end this agreement was   
cancelled.  Although not obligated to do so, the Company agreed to   
repurchase a portion of the goods sold (see Note 5). Future revenues will  
depend upon acceptance and use by healthcare providers of the Company's jet   
injection technology. Uncertainties over government regulation and   
competition in the healthcare industry may impact healthcare provider   
expenditures and third party payer reimbursements and, accordingly, the   
Company cannot predict what impact, if any, subsequent healthcare reforms   
might have on its business. In the future the Company may require additional  
financing. Failure to obtain such financing on favorable terms could   
adversely affect the Company's business.   
  
2.     ACCOUNTING POLICIES:  
  
CASH EQUIVALENTS  
The Company considers cash equivalents to consist of short-term, highly   
liquid investments with an original maturity of less than three months.  
  
SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE  
Effective in fiscal 1995, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards   
Board Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and   
Equity Securities (SFAS 115). Under provisions of SFAS 115, the Company is   
required to classify and account for its security investments as trading   
securities, securities available for sale or securities held to maturity  
depending on the Company's intent to hold or trade the securities at time of   
purchase. As of March 31, 1996 and 1995, all securities held by the Company   
consisting entirely of short-term debt instruments were available for sale   
and, accordingly, are stated on the balance sheet at their fair market value   
which approximate cost. Realized gains or losses are determined on the   
specific identification method and are reflected in the accompanying   
financial statements. There were no significant realized gains or losses for   
fiscal 1995 and 1996.  
  
INVENTORIES  
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined in   
a manner which approximates the first-in, first out (FIFO) method. Costs   
utilized for inventory valuation purposes include labor, materials and   
manufacturing overhead. Net inventories consist of the following:

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT  
For financial statement purposes, depreciation expense on property and   
equipment is computed on the straight-line method using the following lives:  
  
          Furniture and Fixtures............................5 years  
          Machinery and Equipment...........................5 years  
          Computer Equipment................................3 years  
          Production Molds..................................3 years  
  
Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over the    
shorter of the remaining terms of the lease or the estimated useful lives of   
the assets.  
  
OTHER ASSETS  
Other assets include costs incurred for the application of patents, net of   
amortization on a straight-line basis over 17 years. Accumulated   
amortization totalled $114,713 and $94,400 at March 31, 1996 and 1995,   
respectively. Amortization expense for the years ended March 31, 1996, 1995   
and 1994 totalled $20,313, $31,086, and $19,962, respectively.  
  
ACCOUNTING FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS  
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.   
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived   
Assets To Be Disposed Of"(SFAS 121), which requires the Company to review   
for impairment of its long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles   
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying   
amount of an asset might not be recoverable. In certain situations, an  
impairment loss would be recognized. SFAS 121 will become effective for the   
Company's year ending March 31, 1997.  The Company has studied the   
implications of SFAS 121 and, based on its initial evaluation, does not   
expect it to have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or   
results of operations.  
  
REVENUE RECOGNITION FOR PRODUCT SALES  
The Company records revenue from sales of its products upon shipment. In   
fiscal 1996 and 1995, sales to one customer accounted for 75% and 74% of net   
sales of products, respectively. In addition, 67% and 80% of accounts   
receivable at March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, were due from this   
customer.  
  
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AND LICENSING/TECHNOLOGY REVENUES  
Licensing fees are recognized as revenue when due and payable. Product   
development revenue is deferred upon receipt and is recognized as revenue as   
qualifying expenditures are incurred. Expenditures for research and   
development are charged to expense as incurred.  
  
In April 1992, the Company entered into a joint development agreement with   
Eli Lilly and Co., that provided for the development and marketing of   
application specific products.  The agreement included a $500,000 licensing   
fee and a provision for partial funding of the product development expenses   
related to the program. The Company has received Phase I funding of   
$1,000,000 and initial Phase II funding of $575,000 as part of the joint   
product development effort. This product development revenue had been fully   
recognized at March 31, 1994. This project has been on hold since spring   
1994 pending resolution of Lilly's request to modify product specifications.   
Because the Company's injector design does not meet Lilly's size and cost   
goals, the Company and Lilly agreed to suspend any further development of a  
specialized insulin self injection device and the Company does not   
anticipate attempting to complete development of this device without Lilly's   
participation. All costs of the Lilly development contract have previously   
been expensed as research and development expenses. There were no product   
development revenues received or recognized in fiscal 1995 and 1996.  
  
In March 1994, the Company entered into a joint development agreement with   
Schering AG, a major pharmaceutical manufacturer, for the development of   
application specific products. Under terms of the agreement, the Company   
received a $500,000 licensing fee in April 1994 and will receive partial   
funding of product development expenses on an agreed schedule. As defined in   
the agreement, under certain circumstances, the licensing and product   
development fees are convertible by the pharmaceutical company into common   
stock of the Company. The Board of Directors has reserved up to 285,715   
shares for such potential conversion. In fiscal 1995, the Company received a   
total of $1.1 million from the pharmaceutical company, composed of $500,000   
in licensing fees which were recognized as revenue during fiscal 1995 and  
$600,000 of Phase I product development revenues, $444,000 of which were   
recognized as revenue in fiscal 1995. In the third quarter of fiscal 1996,   
the Company received an additional $660,000. In fiscal 1996, $751,000 has   
been recognized as revenue.  
  
In January 1995, the Company entered into a joint development agreement with   
Hoffmann-La Roche, a major pharmaceutical manufacturer, for the development   
of application specific products. The Company received a licensing fee   
totalling $500,000 which was recognized as revenue in fiscal 1995. The   
Company will also receive specified product development fees on an agreed   
upon schedule. In fiscal 1996, the Company received $900,000, of which  
$399,000 has been recognized as revenue.  
  
INCOME TAXES  
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of   
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting For Income Taxes (SFAS   
109). Under the liability method specified by SFAS 109, the deferred tax   
assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences   
between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as  
measured by the enacted tax rates for the years in which the taxes are   
expected to be paid. At March 31, 1996, the Company had total deferred tax   
assets of approximately $10 million, consisting principally of available net   
operating loss carryforwards. No benefit for these operating losses has been   
reflected in the accompanying financial statements as they do not satisfy   
the recognition criteria set forth in SFAS 109. Total deferred tax    
liabilities were insignificant as of March 31, 1996.  
  
As of March 31, 1996, BMT has net operating loss carryforwards of   
approximately $584,000 available to reduce future federal taxable income,   
which expire in 2011. BI has net operating loss carryforwards of   
approximately $31 million available to reduce future federal taxable income,   
which expire in 2001 through 2011. Approximately $3.0 million of BI's   
carryforwards were generated as a result of deductions related to exercises   
of stock options. When utilized, this portion of BI's carryforwards, as tax  
effected, will be accounted for as a direct increase to contributed capital   
rather than as a reduction of that year's provision for income taxes. BMSL   
has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $575,000 (Cdn)   
available to reduce future Canadian taxable income, which expires in 1996   
through 2003. The principal differences between net operating loss   
carryforwards for tax purposes and the accumulated deficit result from   
capitalization of certain start-up costs and deductions related to the   
exercise of stock options for income tax purposes.  
  
USE OF ESTIMATES  
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally   
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and   
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at   
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues   
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from   
those estimates.  
  
STOCK OPTION ACCOUNTING  
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement   
No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), which   
establishes a fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based   
compensation plans and requires additional disclosures for those companies   
that elect not to adopt the new method of accounting. The Company will   
continue to account for stock options under APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting   
for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123 disclosure requirements become  
applicable for the Company in fiscal 1997.  
  
NET LOSS PER SHARE  
Net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of   
common shares outstanding during the period. The effects of common stock   
equivalents have not been included in the calculation as they would be anti-  
dilutive.  
  
3.     401(K) RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLAN:  
  
The Company has a 401(k) Retirement Benefit Plan for its employees. All   
employees subject to certain age and length of service requirements are   
eligible to participate. The plan permits certain voluntary employee   
contributions to be excluded from the employees' current taxable income   
under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k) and regulations  
thereunder. Effective January 1, 1996, the Company amended the plan to   
provide for voluntary employer matches of employee contributions up to 6% of   
salary and for discretionary profit sharing contributions to all employees.   
Such employer matches and contributions may be in either cash or Company   
common stock. For calendar 1996, the Company has agreed to match 25% of   
employee contributions up to 6% of salary with Company stock. In fiscal  
1996, the Company recorded an expense of $4,800 related to voluntary   
employer matches under the 401(k) Plan.   
  
4.     SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:  
  
PREFERRED STOCK  
The Company has authorized 10 million shares of preferred stock, without par   
value, to be issued from time to time with such designations and preferences   
and other special rights and qualifications, limitations and restrictions   
thereon, as permitted by law and as fixed from time to time by resolution of  
the Board of Directors.  
  
COMMON STOCK  
Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of   
record on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. No shares have been   
issued subject to assessment, and there are no preemptive or conversion   
rights and no provision for redemption, purchase or cancellation, surrender   
or sinking or purchase funds. Holders of common stock are not entitled to   
cumulate their shares in the election of directors. As described in Note 2,   
up to 285,715 shares of the Company's common stock have been reserved  
for issuance.  
  
ESCROWED SHARES  
As a result of the Company's initial public offering on the Vancouver Stock   
Exchange, 1.5 million shares of the Company were held in escrow pursuant to   
an Escrow Agreement dated May 30, 1986, among the Company, WAM Partnership   
and the escrow agent, Montreal Trust Company. WAM Partnership is owned by   
Carl E. Wilcox, former Chairman and C.E.O., and J. Thomas Morrow, former  
Director, and managed by Mr. Wilcox. Both Mr. Wilcox and Mr. Morrow are   
founders of the Company. The Escrow Agreement provided that these escrowed   
shares would be released from escrow based on two times the excess of   
cumulative cash flow for five consecutive years (as defined in the   
agreement) over 25% of the per share price in the Company's initial public   
offering, multiplied by the number of shares in escrow, calculated on an   
annual basis. Alternatively, the shares could be released by making   
application and obtaining consent of the Superintendent of Brokers of   
British Columbia based on demonstrating company value. Under the escrow  
agreement, any shares not released by July 14, 1996 would be cancelled.  
  
In connection with Mr. Wilcox's resignation as Chairman and C.E.O. of the   
Company (see Note 6), the Board of Directors granted Mr. Wilcox a special   
power of attorney to exclusively perform all acts necessary to obtain   
extension of the escrow and/or release of the WAM Partnership escrow shares.   
In addition, the Board agreed to pay up to $10,000 of costs associated with  
such extension and/or release.  
  
On June 3, 1996, the British Columbia Securities Commission informed the   
Company that its Executive Director (formerly the Superintendent of Brokers)   
consented to the release of all shares originally held in escrow.  This   
means that the 1.5 million shares of common stock which had been held under   
this escrow arrangement are now held by the owners of the shares without   
risk of cancellation and may be sold.  Upon release, approximately 150,000   
of these shares are considered to have been contributed back to the Company   
and reissued to certain former employees in consideration for past services   
rendered on behalf of the Company. The Company will record the shares as   
contributed capital with a corresponding non-cash charge to compensation  
expense at the fair market value of the stock on the date of issuance.    
Accordingly, non-cash charge of $210,938 will be recorded in the financial   
statements in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 (quarter ending June 30,   
1996).  
  
STOCK OPTIONS  
Options may be granted to directors, officers and employees of the Company   
by the Board of Directors under terms of the Bioject Medical Technologies   
Inc. 1992 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), which was approved by the   
Company's shareholders on November 20, 1992 and adopted by the Board   
effective December 17, 1992. Under the terms of the Plan, eligible employees   
may receive statutory and nonstatutory stock options, stock bonuses and   
stock appreciation rights for purchase of shares of the Company's common   
stock at prices and vesting as determined by a committee of the Board.   
Except for options whose terms were extended, options granted under a prior   
plan maintain their previous option price, vesting and expiration dates. As   
amended in fiscal 1995, a total of up to 3,000,000 shares of the Company's   
common stock including options outstanding at the date of initial   
shareholder approval of the Plan may be granted under the Plan. In September  
1993, the Option Committee of the Board of Directors extended the expiration   
date of certain options granted to one employee. The difference between the   
option price and the fair market value at the date of extension aggregated   
$50,625, and has been reflected as compensation expense in the consolidated   
financial statements in fiscal 1994. Options outstanding at March 31, 1996   
expire through May 25, 2005.

6.     RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:  
  
On January 12, 1995, the Board of Directors announced the resignation of the   
Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Carl E. Wilcox. In   
consideration for Mr. Wilcox's long service to the Company, the Board   
granted Mr. Wilcox 100,000 shares of common stock valued at $241,000 and   
cash compensation totalling $247,000. The Board also vested 200,000   
previously granted option shares at $4.00 per share and extended the  
expiration date to January 14, 1998. The Board granted Mr. Wilcox  
a special power of attorney to exclusively perform all acts necessary to   
obtain extension and/or release of the WAM Partnership escrow shares.  On   
June 3, 1996, the British Columbia Securities Commission informed the   
Company that release of the escrow shares had been granted (see Note 4). The   
Board also agreed to pay Mr. Wilcox $20,000 per year for two years under a  
covenant not-to-compete. The value of the severance agreement totalling   
$488,000 was recorded as general and administrative expense in the   
accompanying financial statements in fiscal 1995.

SECTION 3 - COMPENSATION

3.1   Base Salary.

In consideration for all services rendered by Executive to Company, Company 
shall pay Executive a minimum annual gross base salary of one hundred 
thousand dollars ($100,000), beginning February 8, 1996, payable bi-weekly 
and in accordance with Company's usual payroll policies and procedures.  
This salary is subject to annual increases or other periodic and necessary 
adjustments (which will not reduce the minimum annual gross base salary to 
less than $100,000) at the sole discretion of Company's Chairman and Board 
of Directors, considering Executive's achievements during the previous 12 
months, business conditions, cost-of-living, and other factors.  

3.2   Bonus Compensation.

Executive shall be entitled to participate in any net profits pool, profit 
sharing or deferred compensation plan or program that may be established by 
Company during the duration of Executive's employment with Company, 
provided that Executive's entitlement will depend on the terms and 
conditions of any such pool, plan or program.   

3.3   Reimbursement of Business Expenses.

Company will reimburse Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket business 
expenses necessarily incurred by Executive in the performance of his job 
duties and responsibilities under this Agreement, upon Executive's 
presentation of vouchers, bills and receipts verifying such expenses and in  
accordance with Company's reimbursement policies as established from time 
to time. 

3.4   Paid Holidays, Vacation and Sick Leave Benefits.

Executive will receive paid holidays, vacation and sick leave benefits in

having the longest duration of employment with Company in effect at the 
time.

3.5   Other Benefits. 

Executive shall be entitled to participate in and receive benefits under 
any retirement plan, pension plan, profit sharing plan, stock option or 
stock purchase plan, life insurance plan, health and dental plan, 
disability plan, or any other employee benefit plan or arrangement made 
available by Company to its employees from time to time, subject to the 
eligibility, contribution and other requirements of such plans and 
arrangements.

Executive shall receive an additional auto allowance of five hundred 
dollars ($500) per month, which will be paid as part of the first paycheck 
each month. 

3.6   Disability.

Company will comply with all requirements of the Americans with 
Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA") in effect during Executive's employment.  
In addition and apart from compliance with the ADA, Company agrees to pay 
Executive partial compensation in the event Executive should become 
"disabled", as that term is expressly defined in this Section 3.6, during 
his employment with Company.  As defined for purposes of this Section 3.6 
only, "disabled" means: (1) any illness, health condition, accident, injury 
or other cause beyond Executive's control that prevents him from performing 
the majority of his essential job duties and responsibilities for a period 
of more than sixty (60) consecutive work days or for more than sixty (60) 
work days in the aggregate during any 12-month period; and (2) during the 
period Executive receives disability pay under this Section 3.6, Executive 
is unable to engage in any substantial gainful employment for which the 
employee is suited on the basis of age, education and experience.  Company 
and Executive agree that whether Executive is disabled under the terms of 
this Section will be determined by an evaluation conducted by a physician 
selected by Executive from a list of physicians provided by Company.  

In the event it is determined that Executive is disabled as specifically 
defined in Section 3.6, Company agrees to pay Executive all base salary 
compensation and bonus previously earned and due Executive, together with a 
salary at seventy-five percent (75%) of his then-current salary during the 
duration of his disability up to a maximum six (6) month period from the 
disability date.  Should Executive continue to be disabled beyond six (6) 
months, as reevaluated and determined by a physician selected by Executive 
from a list of physicians provided by Company, the Company will pay 
Executive salary at a rate of fifty percent (50%) of his then-current 
salary for an additional period up to six (6) months.  During the period 
such disability payments are made (up to a maximum of twelve (12) months), 
Company agrees to continue Executive's health and dental insurance and 
other previously granted benefits coverage (excepting accrual of vacation 
and sick leave time).  Should payments to Executive under worker's 
compensation and/or Company paid disability insurance policies or programs, 
when combined with the payments described herein, exceed the benefits 
described in this Section 3.6, Company will reduce its payment to Executive
under this Section by the calculated excess amount.  Company and Executive 
agree that during the term of Executive's disability as defined herein, 
Company may require periodic reevaluation and medical certification of 
Executive's disability by a physician selected by Executive from a list of 
physicians provided by Company.

SECTION 4 - DURATION OF EMPLOYMENT

4.1   Term.

Subject to Sections 4.2 through 4.5 below, the parties agree that 
Executive's employment with Company under this Agreement commenced on 
February 8, 1996 and shall continue for an initial term of one year.  
Thereafter, Executive's employment under this Agreement will automatically 
renew for additional one-year periods, subject to the termination 
provisions contained in Sections 4.2 through 4.6 below.  Notwithstanding 
those periods, this Agreement will remain enforceable and in effect until 
all the parties' rights and obligations have been satisfied, terminated or 
have expired, as provided herein.

4.2   Termination by Company.

      a.     By Company for Cause.  Executive agrees that his employment 
with Company may be terminated immediately for cause at the discretion of 
the Chairman and Board of Directors of Company.  "Cause" is defined to 
mean: (A) the willful and continued failure by Executive substantially to 
perform his duties and obligations to the Company (other than any such 
failure resulting from any illness, medical condition or physical or mental 
incapacity) which failure continues after Company has given written notice 
to Executive; (B) the willful engaging by Executive in misconduct which is 
significantly injurious to Company, monetarily or otherwise; (C) the 
material breach by Executive of any of his obligations as set forth in 
Section 6 of this Agreement; (D) the engaging by Executive in any fraud, 
dishonesty, or any other act of misconduct in the performance of 
Executive's duties on behalf of Company; (E) the commission by Executive of 
a civil or criminal offense which may adversely affect Company's reputation 
or interests, as determined by the Board of Directors, regardless of any 
legal proceeding; or (F) the action or conduct by Executive resulting in 
his being indicted or sanctioned in his personal capacity, or resulting in 
his entering into a consent decree, in connection with an investigation of, 
allegation of wrongdoing by, or other formal proceeding against Executive, 
by the United States Food and Drug Administration, the United States 
Securities and Exchange Commission or other federal or state agency, 
whether related to the business of Company or to any other employment or 
activity of Executive, past, present or future.  For purposes of this 
definition, no act, or failure to act, on Executive's part will be 
considered "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by Executive in 
bad faith and without reasonable belief that his action or omission was in 
the best interests of Company.

Termination of Executive's employment for cause will become effective five 
(5) business days after a written notice of intent to terminate Executive's 
employment is given to Executive by Company's Board of Directors or, 
alternatively, at Company's option, by paying Executive all compensation 
due him in lieu of part or all of the five (5) business days notice. 

Upon termination by Company for cause as stated in Section 4.2.a. herein, 
Company shall pay Executive all earned but unpaid base salary compensation 
(prorated to the date of such termination), together with any earned but 
unpaid bonus compensation as described in Section 3.2 herein, all accrued 
but unused vacation time, and any not yet reimbursed business expenses 
incurred for services provided through the date of termination, as provided 
for in Section 3.3 of this Agreement.  All other compensation and benefits 
shall cease accrual on Executive's termination date.
               
      b.     By Company Without Cause and With or Without Notice.  
Executive agrees that Company may terminate his employment at any time, for 
any reason and without cause by giving Executive fifteen (15) calendar days 
prior written notice or alternatively, at Company's option, by paying 
Executive all compensation due him in lieu of part or all of the fifteen 
(15) calendar days notice.  

Upon termination by Company without cause and with or without notice as 
stated in Section 4.2.b. above, Company will pay Executive all earned but 
unpaid base salary compensation (prorated to the date of such termination), 
together with any earned but unpaid bonus compensation as described in 
Section 3.2 herein, all accrued but unused vacation time, and any not yet 
reimbursed business expenses incurred for services provided through the 
date of termination, as provided for in Section 3.3 of this Agreement.  

Company will also, within thirty (30) calendar days after Executive's 
termination by Company under Section 4.2.b., pay to Executive an additional 
sum (hereafter "Additional Pay") not less than Executive's then-current 
gross base salary compensation for a period of four (4) months, commencing 
on the day of Executive's termination.  If Executive's termination occurs 
at any point during the first twelve (12) months of his employment, the 
amount of Additional Pay will be equal to the remainder of Executive's 
annual gross base salary, but in no case less than four (4) months gross 
base salary.  As a prior condition to Executive's receipt of this 
Additional Pay, Executive shall reconfirm, in writing, his agreement that 
any and all disputes arising out of or related to his employment with 
Company, his termination of employment or a breach of this Agreement will 
be resolved in compliance with the dispute resolution process described in 
Section 8.6 herein and that any action on his part to institute legal 
proceedings in any court of law to resolve such disputes will result in a 
full and complete forfeiture of his right to the Additional Pay described 
in this Section 4.2.b. (and entitle Company to recover any and all 
Additional Pay paid to Executive).  All other compensation and benefits 
shall cease accrual on Executive's termination date.

In addition, Company will, within thirty (30) days, vest that group of 
stock options which are scheduled to vest during that twelve (12) month 
period of Executive's employment to Executive.  This vesting will follow 
the schedule described in paragraph 5.1, a, and 5.1, b, of Agreement.
     
4.3   Termination by Executive.

Executive may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving sixty (60) 
calendar days prior written notice to Company.  

Upon termination by Executive as provided in Section 4.3 herein, Company 
will pay Executive all earned but unpaid base salary compensation (prorated 
to the date of such termination), together with any earned but unpaid bonus 
compensation as described in Section 3.2 herein, all accrued but unused 
vacation time, and any not yet reimbursed business expenses incurred for 
services provided through the date of termination, as provided for in 
Section 3.3 of this Agreement.  All other compensation and benefits shall 
cease accrual on Executive's termination date.     

4.4   Termination Upon Disability.

Executive's employment with Company will terminate upon Executive's 
disability as defined in this Section 4.4.  "Disability" is defined to mean 
a disability of Executive which renders him unable, with or without 
reasonable accommodation, to perform any of his essential job functions.  
Upon termination of Executive's employment with Company due to disability 
as defined in this Section 4.4, Company will pay Executive all earned but 
unpaid base salary compensation (prorated to the date of such termination), 
together with any earned but unpaid bonus compensation as described in 
Section 3.2 herein, all accrued but unused vacation time, and any not yet 
reimbursed business expenses incurred for services provided through the 
date of termination, as provided for in Section 3.3 of this Agreement.  
Unless Executive qualifies for disability pay under Section 3.6 of this 
Agreement, Executive will only be entitled to worker's compensation and/or 
payments under Company paid disability insurance policies or programs if 
Executive qualifies under the terms and conditions of such policies or 
programs.  All other compensation and benefits shall cease accrual upon 
Executive's date of termination due to disability.  The provisions in 
Section 4.2.b. of this Agreement are not applicable.

4.5   Termination Upon Death.  

Executive's employment with Company shall terminate immediately upon 
Executive's death.  Upon termination of Executive's employment with Company 
due to death, Company shall pay to Executive's estate Executive's base 
salary compensation otherwise earned and payable to Executive pursuant to 
Section 3.1, together with any earned but unpaid bonus compensation as 
described in Section 3.2 herein, all accrued but unused vacation time, and 
any not yet reimbursed business expenses incurred for services provided 
through the date of termination, as provided for in Section 3.3 of this 
Agreement.  

In addition, Company shall pay Executive's estate a sum equal to 
Executive's then-current base salary from the date of termination through 
the last day of the calendar month in which Executive's death occurs and 
for a period of sixty (60) calendar days thereafter ("Additional Death 
Payment").  As a prior condition to Executive's receipt of this Additional 
Death Payment, Executive's estate or personal representative shall execute 
a general release of all claims which will have the effect of discharging 
any and all liability of Company to Executive arising out of or related to 
Executive's employment with Company, the termination of Executive's 
employment and/or any alleged breach of this Agreement.  This Additional 
Death Payment will constitute a complete settlement of any and all disputes 
arising out of or related to Executive's employment with Company, the 
termination of Executive's employment and/or any alleged breach of this 
Agreement.  All other compensation and benefits shall cease accrual upon 
Executive's date of termination due to death.

4.6   Termination Upon Company Reorganization, Merger or Sale.

In the event Executive's employment is terminated on or prior to one (1) 
year after the effective date of: (1) a consolidation or merger of BMT, 
BMSL and/or BI with another corporation or entity; (2) the sale to a third 
party of stock of BMT, BMSL or BI which, when issued and outstanding, will 
constitute more than 50% of the issued and outstanding stock of BMT, BMSL, 
or BI, respectively; (3) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets 
of BMT, BMSL and/or BI to a third party; or (4) the liquidation, 
dissolution, reorganization  or commencement of any proceeding under 
federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency laws by BMT, BMSL and/or BI, 
Company will pay Executive all earned but unpaid base salary compensation 
(prorated to the date of such termination), together with any earned but 
unpaid bonus compensation as described in Section 3.2 herein, all accrued 
but unused vacation time, and any not yet reimbursed business expenses 
incurred for services provided through the date of termination, as provided 
for in Section 3.3 of this Agreement.

In addition, upon termination of Executive's employment with Company 
pursuant to Section 4.6 herein, Executive will be entitled to the following 
(hereafter "Additional Section 4.6 Pay"): (1) within thirty (30) calendar 
days of termination pursuant to Section 4.6 herein, a sum equal to 
Executive's then-current gross base salary compensation for a period of 
four (4) months; and (2) all stock options granted to Executive, pursuant 
to Section 5.1 of this Agreement or any other options previously granted 
Executive, will become immediately vested and exercisable.  As a prior 
condition to Executive's receipt of this Additional Section 4.6 Pay, 
Executive shall execute a general release of all claims which will have the 
effect of discharging any and all liability of Company to Executive arising 
out of or related to Executive's employment with Company, the termination 
of Executive's employment and/or any alleged breach of this Agreement.  
This Additional Section 4.6  Pay will constitute a complete settlement of 
any and all disputes arising out of or related to Executive's employment 
with Company, the termination of Executive's employment and/or any alleged 
breach of this Agreement.  All other compensation and benefits shall cease 
accrual upon Executive's date of termination pursuant to Section 4.6 
herein.

In the event it is determined that such payments in the preceding paragraph 
are determined to be contingent on a change in control as defined in 
Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), 
and a determination is made that the aggregate amount of any payments made 
to Executive under this Section 4.6 constitutes an "excess parachute 
payment" as defined in Section 280G of the Code and is therefore subject to 
the excise tax provisions of Section 4999 of the Code, or any successor 
sections thereof, Executive shall be entitled to receive from Company, in 
addition to any other amounts payable hereunder, a lump sum payment equal 
to one hundred percent (100%) of such excise tax and any taxes owed on such 
lump sum payment.  Such amount shall be payable to Executive as soon as 
practicable after such determination is made.  Executive and Company shall 
mutually and reasonably determine whether or not such payments are subject 
to the provisions of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code.

Company agrees to request any successor or successors to all or 
substantially all of the business and/or assets of Company (whether direct 
or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, liquidation or otherwise), 
upon or prior to such succession, to expressly assume and agree to perform 
this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Company would 
be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.  A copy of 
such assumption and agreement will be delivered to Executive promptly after 
its execution by the successor.  Company in no manner warrants that such 
agreement can and will be obtained from such successor.  Failure by Company 
to obtain such agreement from successor will entitle Executive to benefits 
and pay from Company in the same amounts as Executive would be entitled in 
Section 4.6 herein upon termination.

4.7   Return of Company Property Upon Termination.

Upon termination of Executive's employment with Company, regardless of how 
termination may be effected, or whenever termination is requested by 
Company or Executive, Executive agrees to immediately turn over to Company 
all of Company's property, including any Confidential Information or 
Inventions as defined in Section 1.3 herein, and any Company items used by 
Executive in rendering services hereunder or otherwise, that may be in 
Executive's possession, custody or control.  The obligations of Executive 
as set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement shall survive any termination 
of Executive.

SECTION 5 - STOCK OPTIONS

5.1   Grant of Stock Options.

Executive and Company have entered into a Bioject Officer/Insider Stock 
Option Agreement granting Executive the following stock options:

      a.     An option to purchase one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of 
BMT Common Stock at a strike price (not to exceed $1.50 per share) 
determined by the Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors of BMT.  
The options shall vest at the following rate, and shall have a term of 
seven (7) years once vested:

For 33,333 option shares, the options shall become vested and exercisable 
on February 8, 1997.  For 33,333 option shares, the options shall become 
vested and exercisable on February 8, 1998.  For 33,334 option shares, the 
options shall become vested and exercisable on February 8, 1999.

      b.     An additional twenty-five thousand (25,000) shares of BMT 
Common Stock shall be granted at the start of the Company's fiscal year 
1997, at a strike price determined by the Stock Option Committee of the 
Board of Directors of BMT, Inc.  These options will vest based on the 
Executive meeting certain sales and other performance goals, and will have 
a term of eight years once vested.  These options are subject to the 
provisions of BMT's stock option plan.

SECTION 6 - PROTECTION OF COMPANY PROPERTY

6.1   Intellectual Properties.

      a.     Company Ownership.  All ownership, copyright, patent, trade 
secrecy and other rights and all works, programs, manuals, ideas, 
Inventions, improvements, discoveries, processes, or other properties 
("Intellectual Properties") made or conceived by Executive during the term 
of his employment, shall be the sole property of Company, whether developed 
independently by Executive or jointly with others, whether developed or 
conceived during regular work hours or at Company's facilities, and whether 
or not Company uses, registers, or markets such properties.  In accordance 
with Company's policy and Oregon law, this Agreement does not apply to, and 
Executive has no obligation to assign to Company, any Invention for which 
no Company trade secrets, and no equipment, supplies, or facilities of 
Company were used, and which was developed entirely on Executive's own 
time, unless: (i) the Invention relates directly to Company's business; 
(ii) the Invention relates to Company's existing or demonstrably 
anticipated research or development work; or (iii) the Invention results 
from Executive's work for Company.

      b.     Disclosure Duty.  To determine whether Executive has an 
obligation to assign particular Intellectual Properties to Company, 
Executive shall promptly make full written disclosure to Company of all 
Intellectual Properties that he developed, or on which he is working during 
the term of his employment with Company and during the one-year period 
thereafter.  Executive agrees to assist Company as it may request during 
and after the term of his employment to provide further evidence, perfect, 
and/or enforce Company's rights in, and ownership of, the covered 
Intellectual Properties.  Executive's obligation in this respect includes, 
without limitation, execution of additional instruments of conveyance and 
assistance to Company with applications for patents, copyright, or other 
registrations.

      c.     Infringement Warranty.  Executive warrants that to the best of 
his knowledge, any and all items, technology, and Intellectual Properties 
of any nature developed or provided by Executive under this Agreement, or 
which in any way benefit Company, will be original to Executive, and will 
not infringe in any respect on the rights or property of others.  Executive 
will not, without prior written approval of Company, use any equipment, 
supplies, facilities, or proprietary information of any other party.  
Executive warrants that he is entirely free to contract for employment with 
Company, and to perform his duties under this Agreement, without any 
conflict with other commitments, agreements, understandings or duties, 
whether to prior employers, or others.  Executive will indemnify Company 
for all losses, claims, attorney fees, and other expenses which may arise 
from any breach of this warranty.

6.2   Confidentiality.

Executive acknowledges that Company's business and future success depends 
on the preservation of trade secrets and other confidential, proprietary 
information concerning Company, its affiliates, suppliers, and customers 
("Secrets").  These Secrets and Confidential Information include, without 
limitation:  product designs, computer software, product configuration 
knowledge, market surveys, customer lists and needs, product and marketing 
plans, procedural and technical manuals and practices, pricing methods, 
proposal terms, contract renewal dates, information about the 
qualifications of other employees, and other such business information.  
Executive agrees to protect and preserve these Secrets and Confidential 
Information as confidential both during and indefinitely after the term of 
his employment, whether the Secrets or Confidential Information are 
contained in a tangible medium, or merely remembered.

Executive agrees that all tangible material containing or in any way 
disclosing any Confidential Information or Secrets are Company's exclusive 
property.  Executive agrees to return all Company documents, equipment, or 
other tangible things that reflect Confidential Information or Secrets 
immediately upon Executive's termination of employment, or at any earlier 
request of Company.  

6.3   Non-Competition.

      a.     Executive hereby agrees that he will not, during the period of 
his employment with Company, and for three (3) years thereafter, either 
directly or indirectly, enter into the employment of, render services to, 
or acquire any interest whatsoever in any Conflicting Organization or other 
business which competes with Company, or which is planning to compete.  
Executive acknowledges that Company's business includes, without 
limitation, the manufacture and marketing of the Biojector Jet Injection 
System and the production of sterile, single-use medication ampules for use 
with the Biojector, as well as other types of business Company may choose 
to undertake during or shortly after the course of Executive's employment.  
Executive further acknowledges that Company's business is conducted 
throughout North America and Europe and in such other areas to which 
Company may expand during the course of Executive's employment or shortly 
thereafter.  Accordingly, Executive agrees that he will not compete with 
Company in any of these areas nor assist others in doing so.  Nothing in 
this paragraph shall prevent Executive from owning an interest in any 
company that is not a Conflicting Organization and otherwise does not 
compete with Company.

      b.     Executive further agrees that during the period stated above, 
he will not directly or indirectly call on, or otherwise solicit, or accept 
business from any actual or identified potential customer, Conflicting 
Organization or Conflicting Product of Company that is not for the benefit 
of, or in the best interest of Company, nor will he assist others in doing 
so.  Executive further agrees that he will not, during the period stated 
above, encourage or solicit any other employee of Company to leave such 
employment for any reason, nor will he assist others to do so.

      c.     Executive agrees that he will during the term of his 
employment with Company, promptly and fully disclose to Company any 
business opportunity coming to Executive's attention, or conceived or 
developed in whole or in part by Executive, which relates to Company's 
business, or anticipated business.  Executive will not at any time exploit 
such business opportunities for his own gain or that of any person or 
entity other than Company.

      d.     Executive acknowledges that the covenants in Section 6.3 
herein are reasonable in relation to his position and the nature of 
Company's business, and that compliance with such covenants after his 
employment ends will not prevent him from pursuing his livelihood.  
Nonetheless, should any court or arbitrator(s) find that any provision of 
these covenants is unreasonable in any respect, the parties agree that the 
covenants shall be interpreted, limited, and enforced to the maximum extent 
which the court or arbitrator(s) deems reasonable.

SECTION 7 - INDEMNITY OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

7.1   Indemnification.

Company shall indemnify Executive against any liability and reasonable 
expenses incurred by Executive in connection with any proceeding to which 
Executive is a party because of his employment with Company as Vice 
President of Sales and Marketing in accordance with the provisions set 
forth in Company's articles of incorporation, bylaws or general or specific 
action of Company's board of directors.  Executive's right to 
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided herein will survive 
Executive's termination of employment with Company as Vice President of 
Sales and Marketing and shall inure to the benefit of Executive's heirs, 
executors and administrators.

The right to advancement of expenses provided in Section 7.2 below shall be 
in addition to any other rights to which Executive is entitled under 
Company's articles of incorporation, bylaws or general or specific action 
of Company's board of directors.  

7.2   Advancement of Expenses.

Company shall pay for or reimburse Executive for all reasonable expenses 
incurred by Executive in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding 
to which Executive was a party and incurred such expenses because of his 
employment as the Vice President of Sales and Marketing of Company provided 
that Company shall have first received from Executive:

      a.     An affidavit from Executive that he has a good faith belief 
that he met the applicable standards of conduct which, when determined, 
will entitle Executive to indemnification; and

      b.     An undertaking by or on behalf of Executive representing an 
unlimited general obligation of Executive to repay such advanced expenses 
if it is not ultimately determined that Executive is entitled to be 
indemnified by Company.

7.3   Insurance.

If available on terms and conditions acceptable to Company, Company shall 
purchase and maintain during the term of Executive's employment as Vice 
President of Sales and Marketing of Company, directors and officers 
liability insurance for Executive against any liability asserted against 
and incurred by Executive in his capacity as Vice President of Sales and 
Marketing of Company.

SECTION 8 - MISCELLANEOUS

8.1   Assignments Prohibited.

Executive may not assign any of his rights nor delegate any of his duties 
hereunder.  Company may assign this Agreement and delegate its duties 
hereunder as provided for in Section 4.6 of this Agreement or to any of its 
affiliates at any time owned by, or under common ownership with Company.  

8.2   Exclusive Agreement.

This Agreement comprises the entire agreement of Executive and Company.  It 
may be changed only by further written agreement, signed by both parties.  
This Agreement supersedes and merges within it all prior agreements and 
understandings between these parties, whether written or oral, express or 
implied.  Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that no inducements, 
promises, or agreements, orally or otherwise, have been made by any party, 
or anyone acting on behalf of any party, which are not embodied in this 
Agreement.  In interpreting and construing this Agreement, the fact that 
one or the other of Executive or Company may have drafted this Agreement or 
any provision hereof shall not be given any weight or relevance.  

8.3   Waiver.  

No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless in 
writing and signed by both parties, nor shall any waiver or failure to 
enforce any right hereunder constitute a waiver of that right or of any 
other right under this Agreement. 

8.4   Separate and Severable.

The parties agree that the provisions in this Agreement are separable and 
that in the event any provision is deemed ineffective or unenforceable, 
they are severable from the remaining provisions of the Agreement, which 
provisions shall remain binding on the parties.

8.5   Certain Remedies.

The harm to Company from any breach of Executive's obligations under 
Section 6 of this Agreement may be difficult to determine and may be wholly 
or partially irreparable.  Thus, Executive agrees that if he fails to abide 
by any provision contained in Section 6 of this Agreement, Company is 
entitled to immediate issuance by the Circuit Court of Multnomah County or 
other court with jurisdiction over the parties of a temporary retraining 
order and preliminary and permanent injunctions.  If any bond from Company 
is required in connection with obtaining such equitable relief herein, the 
parties agree that a reasonable value of such bond will be no more than 
$5,000.  Executive further agrees that any gross revenues obtained in 
violation of Section 6 of this Agreement shall be held in constructive 
trust for Company and a complete accounting of such revenues delivered to 
Company pending completion of the dispute resolution process set forth in 
Section 8.6 below.  Any money damages claimed by Executive's breach of his 
obligations under Section 6 herein must be asserted in and will be 
recoverable through the dispute resolution process set forth in Section 8.6 
below.  Nothing in this Section 8.5 limits the obligations of the parties 
to resolve all other disputes through the dispute resolution process set 
forth in Section 8.6 herein.  The provisions of Section 8.6 of this 
Agreement will not apply to any judicial or court proceeding which seeks 
equitable relief to enforce the provisions of Section 6 of this Agreement.

8.6   Choice of Law; Resolution of Disputes.

Company desires to provide its employees with a fair, cost-effective and 
expedient forum for the resolution of any and all disputes between Company 
and its employees.  Accordingly, except as provided in Section 8.5 above, 
Company shall provide, and Company and Executive agree to comply with, the 
following two-step dispute resolution process.

      a.     Mediation.  Company and Executive agree to submit to 
mediation, at no administrative cost to Executive, any dispute of the 
parties arising out of or related to: (1) Executive's employment with 
Company; (2) the termination of Executive's employment with Company; or (3) 
any breach of this Agreement (excepting the injunctive relief provided in 
Section 8.5 above) (hereafter "Dispute").  Such Dispute includes, but is 
not limited to, any alleged violations of federal, state and/or local 
statutes including any claims of discrimination based on race, color, 
religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, marital status, veteran or 
other status protected under federal or state law, harassment claims, 
employee benefit claims, claims based on any purported breach of duty 
arising in contract or tort, including breach of contract, breach of the 
covenant of good faith and fair dealing, violation of public policy or any 
other alleged violation of statutory, contractual or common-law rights of 
either party arising out of or relating to the Dispute as defined above 
(excluding claims for workers' compensation or unemployment insurance).  

             (i)     Notice of Mediation.  Prior to submitting such Dispute 
to mediation, the parties shall attempt in good faith to settle the Dispute 
themselves.  In the event mediation is necessary, the aggrieved party must 
deliver to the other party written notice of its intent to submit the 
Dispute to mediation within ninety (90) calendar days of the date when the 
Dispute first arose, or the termination of Executive's employment, 
whichever is later.  "The date when the Dispute first arose" is defined to 
mean when a party discovered, or should have discovered with reasonable 
diligence, the facts on which the Dispute is based.  A party's failure to 
timely request mediation hereunder shall constitute an irrevocable waiver 
of that party's right to raise any claims in any forum, including 
arbitration as set forth in Section 8.6.b. below, arising out of the 
Dispute described herein.  The limitations period set forth herein is 
mandatory, does not operate to lengthen any applicable state or federal 
statute of limitations and is not subject to any tolling, equitable or 
otherwise.

             (ii)     Location; Mediator Selection; Costs.  The mediation 
will be conducted in Multnomah County through the mediation services of 
Arbitration Service of Portland, Inc. ("ASP"), except as such rules are 
modified herein.  The mediation will be conducted by one neutral mediator 
selected and agreed to by the parties or, if no agreement can be reached, 
by a mediator selected in accordance with the then effective mediation 
rules of ASP.  The mediation will be conducted as promptly as possible and 
in no event later than sixty (60) calendar days from the date written 
notice is provided pursuant to Section 8.6.a.(i) herein.  No discovery will 
be allowed against either party prior to mediation.  Company will pay the 
mediator's fees and other administrative costs of the mediation process.  
The parties shall bear their own respective attorney fees and other costs.

      b.     Arbitration.  In the event the Dispute is not successfully 
resolved through mediation, the parties agree that such Dispute will be 
resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration in Multnomah 
County, Oregon, through a mutually agreed upon arbitration service or, if 
no agreement can be reached, through the arbitration services of ASP in 
accordance with its then effective arbitration rules, except as such rules 
are modified herein.  

             (i)     Notice of Arbitration.  To initiate the arbitration 
process, the aggrieved party must deliver to the other party written notice 
of its intent to submit the Dispute to arbitration no later than sixty (60) 
calendar days after the conclusion of the mediation described above or, if 
no mediation occurs, after the deadline provided for mediation in Section 
8.6.a.(ii) herein.  A party's failure to timely request arbitration 
hereunder shall constitute an irrevocable waiver of that party's right to 
raise any claims in any forum arising out of the Dispute described herein.  
The limitations period set forth herein is mandatory, does not operate to 
lengthen any applicable state or federal statute of limitations and is not 
subject to any tolling, equitable or otherwise.

             (ii)    Selection of Arbitrator(s).  The Dispute will be 
decided by one arbitrator unless a party requests in writing a panel of 
three arbitrators.  Where a sole arbitrator is to preside, the arbitrator 
will be selected by mutual agreement of the parties, or absent agreement, 
in accordance with the then effective ASP arbitration rules.  For a three-
arbitrator panel, each party will select one arbitrator at which point 
those two arbitrators will mutually select a third arbitrator.  If the 
third arbitrator cannot be mutually agreed upon, the third arbitrator will 
be selected in accordance with the then effective ASP rules.  

             (iii)   Permissible Discovery.  The parties shall cooperate to 
the fullest extent practicable in the voluntary exchange of documents and 
information to expedite the arbitration.  The parties agree to limit 
discovery in the arbitration to three (3) requests for production of 
documents in accordance with Rule 43 of the Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure 
("ORCP") and the taking of up to three (3) depositions by each party in 
accordance with ORCP 39.  All discovery must be completed within thirty 
(30) calendar days prior to the date set for the arbitration hearing.  Upon 
the request of any party and within fourteen (14) calendar days of the 
request, the designated arbitrator(s) shall conduct a preliminary hearing 
to determine a defense raised by a party that the arbitration claims have 
not been commenced within the time limited by statute or this Agreement.  
The arbitrator(s) will render a written ruling on such defense within ten 
(10) calendar days after such preliminary hearing.

             (iv)    Power of Arbitrator(s); Applicable Law.  The 
arbitrator(s) shall have the same authority to award remedies and damages 
as provided to a judge and/or jury under applicable law.  The arbitrator(s) 
shall not have the power to alter, amend, or modify any provision of this 
Agreement.  The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to decide only the 
Dispute submitted to the arbitrator(s).  Except as provided herein, Oregon 
State law (excluding choice of law provisions) and applicable federal law 
will govern and be applied by the arbitrator(s) in deciding all substantive 
aspects of the Dispute, and all procedural issues not covered by the ASP 
arbitration rules.  

             (v)     Opinion and Award.  The arbitrator(s) shall issue a 
written opinion and award within thirty (30) calendar days of closing 
arguments or the receipt of post-hearing briefs, whichever is later.  The 
opinion and award must be signed and dated and decide all Disputes and 
related issues submitted by the parties.  The Dispute(s) to be decided 
shall be sufficiently identified by the claimant and respondent in their 
pleadings.  Sufficient identification of the Dispute includes a detailed 
description of the Dispute, the date when the Dispute first arose, the 
names and telephone numbers of any coworkers or supervisors with knowledge 
of the dispute, and the relief requested by the claimant and respondent.  
Any Dispute not identified in those pleadings is outside the scope of the 
arbitrator(s)' jurisdiction and any award involving such Dispute is subject 
to a motion to vacate.  The opinion and award shall set forth the legal 
principles supporting each part of the opinion.  The arbitrator(s) shall 
only be permitted to award those remedies in law or equity which are 
requested by the parties in the pleadings and which the arbitrator(s) 
determines to be supported by credible, relevant evidence.  Judgment on the 
award rendered pursuant to such arbitration may be entered in any court 
having jurisdiction thereof.  

             (vi)    Fees and Costs.  The arbitrator's fees and other 
administrative costs of the arbitration process shall be shared equally 
between the parties.  Each party will be responsible for one-half the cost 
to have a court reporter attend and transcribe the arbitration hearing.  
The parties shall bear their own respective attorney fees and costs of 
discovery, depositions and witness fees.
