NET SALES

   Net sales for the three months ended April 30, 1995 (FY 1996) increased 5%
compared to the three months ended April 30, 1994 (FY 1995). Sales for Q1 1996
grew over 8% from Q1 1995 levels after adjusting for the late FY 1995
discontinuation of certain products and distribution agreements and after taking
into account unusual non-recurring sales in Q1 1995. The following table
reflects sales for the Company's primary business lines:

</TABLE>

   The Puritan line includes nearly all of the Company's home care product lines
as well as the complementary medical gas and gas-related equipment and
spirometry product lines. Aero Systems is also included because it shares one of
the Company's larger manufacturing facilities with the Puritan Group and is
relatively small. Puritan's Q1 1996 revenues and orders were up 8% and 4%,
respectively, from Q1 1995.

   Two major clinical areas, home oxygen therapy and the diagnosis and treatment
of adult sleep disorders, contributed to the Puritan growth. With respect to the
first major clinical area, the Company believes that the home oxygen therapy
market will continue growing worldwide. With respect to the second major
clinical area of its home care product lines, the Company expects the emerging
field of diagnosing and treating adult sleep disorders to continue growing also.
Recently published research indicates that millions of adults in the United
States suffer chronically from debilitating but treatable breathing disorders
during sleep. The Company believes the prevalence of such disorders is also
widespread in most developed nations. These disorders are only beginning to be
recognized and understood by the medical community and the general population.
Consequently, only a small fraction of people suffering from sleep disorders
have been diagnosed and are being treated today. Therefore, while the market for
such sleep products has grown rapidly in recent years, the Company believes that
most of the market growth lies ahead. With the late January 1994 acquisition of
SEFAM S.A. (Nancy, France), the Company believes it has the second largest share
of the therapeutic portion of the worldwide sleep market.

   The aviation portion of Puritan's revenue is up 22% from Q1 1995 while orders
have remained relatively unchanged. The overall increase in the Company's
aviation business is due in part to a growing interest in the offerings of
Airborne Closed Circuit Television (ACCTV(TM)), the Airbus A330/A340 program
and the Sweep-On 2000(R) inflatable harness crew masks.

   The Bennett line includes the Company's worldwide critical care ventilator
business, as well as the CliniVision(R) product line in the United States. The
small holter monitoring and international portable ventilator product lines are
also included. Bennett's revenues for Q1 1996 were flat compared to Q1 1995.
This is a result of the Company's decision to discontinue some older products.
The Company believes it remains the worldwide leader in critical care
ventilation. International demand, however, has continued to grow; nearly half
of the revenues from these products now come from international markets. The
level of interest in CliniVision continues to expand as hospitals increasingly
focus on this system as a valuable solution to their cost-containment challenge
and as the Company continues to enhance the CliniVision system.

COST-CUTTING INITIATIVES INCLUDING RESTRUCTURING

    As part of the Company's plan to enhance shareholder value, the Company
implemented a strategic cost-cutting initiative in FY 1995 that is expected to
lower overhead and other expenses while preserving growth potential. This plan
included a restructuring for which charges of $2.7 million were recorded in FY
1995. The $2.7 million represents severance payments and other costs of
implementing a near 6% reduction in workforce. In addition to the restructuring,
the Company sold its airplane and reduced the matching contribution rate
regarding its 401(k) plan. Operational changes resulting in significant freight
savings, the scheduled phasing in of a new proportional solenoid valve for the
7200/R/ Series ventilator and the scheduled transfer of the spirometry product
line to the Company's facility in Mexico from its facility in Ireland are also
included in the Company's cost-cutting initiatives. The Company also recorded
charges totaling $.7 million that represent non-restructuring actions associated
with the cost-cutting initiative. These actions primarily include facility
consolidations and a loss on the sale of the Company's airplane. The accrued
liability associated with this initiative was approximately $.9 million at April
30, 1995. The Company expects to pay this amount out over Q2 and Q3 of FY 1996.

   As of April 30, 1995, approximately $1.2 million relative to the FY 1994
restructuring remained in accrued liabilities representing costs necessary to
complete the restructuring plan in an orderly and effective manner. This amount
is expected to be disbursed primarily over Q2 and Q3 of FY 1996.

OTHER EXPENSE (INCOME)

   Other expense in Q1 1996 increased from Q1 1995. Interest expense increased
by $.4 million due to higher levels of debt in Q1 1996 as well as an overall
increase in the Company's average interest rate. The Company recorded final
charges of $.2 million for obligations associated with a FY 1995 unsolicited
offer to acquire the Company. This charge was to adjust the final calculation of
the investment banking fee. The Company recorded a gain on the sale of certain
assets in the amount of approximately $.7 million in Q1 1995 versus a loss of
approximately $.1 million in Q1 1996. This was offset in Q1 1996 by the effect
of currency gains. The Company recorded currency gains of $.5 million in Q1 1996
versus a loss of $.1 million in Q1 1995. These transactions were included in
Other Expense (Income), net.

</TABLE>

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

   The FY 1996 effective tax rate is 15% versus a U.S. statutory rate of 34%.
This lower rate is due primarily to the interaction of the tax valuation
allowance discussed below and the proportion of earnings generated domestically
versus internationally, which are taxed at foreign statutory rates averaging 12%
in FY 1996. The FY 1995 effective tax benefit rate of 20% was due to non-
deductible amortization combined with losses for which there was no current
benefit.

   The Company has net deferred tax assets of $31.2 million partially offset by
a valuation allowance of $21.1 million. The realization of the deferred tax
benefit depends on the Company's ability to generate sufficient U.S. taxable
income (approximately $20 million) in the future. Approximately 65% of the
Company's total temporary differences are expected to reverse in the next two
years. As a result of the restructuring actions taken during FY 1994 and FY
1995, the Company believes it is well positioned to take advantage of this tax
benefit in the future.

   If the Company achieves sufficient profitability to use all of the deferred
tax benefit, the valuation allowance will be reduced through a credit to
expense. If the Company is unable to generate taxable income in the future,
increases in the valuation allowance relative to the deferred tax benefit
currently existing will be required through a charge to expense.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

WORKING CAPITAL

   The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.2 as of April 30,
1995, up from 2.0 as of January 31, 1995. Working capital increased to $82.2
million from $73.6 million. The primary reasons for the increase included a $1.9
million increase in accounts receivable and a $4.6 million increase in inventory
combined with a $3.4 million decrease in accounts payable. Inventory increased
as a result of the Company's production requirements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   The Company generated an increase of $2.7 million in net income in Q1 1996
over Q1 1995. This additional net income was offset by an increase in accounts
receivable of $1.9 million, which is a reflection of higher sales. Inventory
balances also increased approximately $4.6 million due to a planned effort to
raise levels of inventory to meet expected demand. In addition, a $1.9 million
payout from the deferred compensation plan occurred in Q1 1995 for which there
was no comparable event in Q1 1996.

   Net cash and cash equivalents used in investing activities decreased when
compared to Q1 1995. This decrease was primarily due to the Q1 1995 final
acquisition payment of $2 million for Hoyer Medizintechnik. The remaining
decrease was the result of a decrease in capital expenditures offset by the sale
of certain fixed assets during Q1 1995. Fiscal year 1996 capital expenditures
are expected to increase relative to prior year levels as the Company continues
to improve and replace existing facilities and other fixed assets as
appropriate.

   Net cash and cash equivalents provided by financing activities have increased
when compared to Q1 1995. This is a result of an increase in the number of
employee stock options exercised.

   Long-term debt, excluding current maturities, represents 30.5% of long-term
debt plus stockholders' equity at April 30, 1995, and 31.7% at January 31, 1995.
At April 30, 1995, the Company had $35 million of unsecured bank lines-of-credit
available, $18.7 million of which was used.

U.S. HEALTH CARE SYSTEM CHANGES

   The U.S. health care system is undergoing significant changes in response to
market forces. The principal change involves increasing utilization of various
forms of managed care. Managed care trends are, in turn, causing hospitals to
consolidate, restructure, and otherwise slow their rate of spending growth. The
Company believes it is seeing the effects of such spending curtailment in its
hospital capital equipment products-principally the 7200 Series ventilatory
system. The Company has not seen any significant adverse effects of managed care
trends on its home care products business and home care may, in fact, be
benefiting from such trends due to its inherent cost-effectiveness relative to
institutional care. However, the Congress, with its Republican majority, is
likely to further emphasize deficit reduction and there can be no assurance that
home care will not be adversely affected by deficit reduction-driven legislative
changes to the Medicare and Medicaid programs.


SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

   In order to help stockholders better understand the Company's business, the
Company is providing supplemental information that sets forth its revenues and
earnings before interest, taxes and other unusual charges (EBITOC) in its two
primary business lines - Puritan and Bennett. The information excludes charges
related to an unsolicited offer to acquire the Company and the write down of
certain non-operations related assets, but otherwise includes fully allocated
corporate office expenses.

   PURITAN - Puritan includes the home care product lines and certain
complementary products such as medical gases and gas-related equipment and
spirometry. Aero Systems is also included because it shares one of the larger
manufacturing facilities with the Puritan Group and is relatively small.

The average annual growth for the five years ended April 30, 1995, was 14%.
Within Puritan, home care product revenues have grown at rates considerably
above the overall Puritan average.

   Puritan's EBITOC has been higher in the recent past and, with the recently
implemented cost-cutting initiative, is expected to improve in FY 1996. Fiscal
year 1995 was a year in which the Company placed a very high priority upon
strengthening the operating systems and procedures of Puritan's research and
manufacturing operations, most of which have grown very rapidly in recent years.
This effort increases the Company's ability to continue growing in the future
while maintaining control over the quality of its products during such growth.
At the same time, however, this investment was not without initial higher costs
and lost revenues, both of which compressed EBITOC as a percent of revenue. Part
of this price involved disruptions as the Company installed new operating
systems and procedures and moved into two larger facilities and expanded in a
third. Such disruptions also prevented the Company from keeping pace with
growing customer demand and caused some temporary loss of revenues. As of April
30, 1995, these investment measures resulted in rapid product delivery in all of
the Company's home care product lines.

   BENNETT - Bennett includes the Company's critical care ventilator business,
as well as the rapidly growing CliniVision product line in the U.S., and the
small holter monitoring and international portable ventilator product lines.

   Since FY 1993, Bennett has faced difficult market conditions, particularly in
the U.S. hospital market, resulting in the discontinuation of certain older
products and accessories and the Company's withdrawal from the U.S. portable
ventilator market. In addition, Bennett has also undertaken major initiatives at
significant costs to strengthen the operating systems and procedures of its
research and manufacturing operations.

   Bennett's EBITOC as a percent of revenues improved dramatically in Q1 1996
over Q1 1995. Profitability is expected to improve in FY 1996 as a result of
recent cost-cutting actions and revenue growth is expected as a result of a
number of new products and product enhancements recently introduced
internationally and cleared for introduction in the United States.

   TOTAL COMPANY - The Company is encouraged by the continued growth of Puritan
and believes both Puritan and Bennett are well positioned to begin returning to
and sustaining higher levels of revenue growth and profitability. Key elements
to increasing profitability are additional new products under development
coupled with maintaining the Company's strong direct sales and service
distribution channels in North America and Europe, which are capable of handling
more volume. The Company expects it may take somewhat longer for Bennett
profitability as a percentage of revenues to reach desired levels.

FY 1996 FIRST QUARTER REPORT

LETTER TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS

   We are providing you this First Quarter Report in a new format in a
continuing effort to deliver timely information at less expense. We hope you
will be pleased with our efforts.

   The Company reported record earnings of $6,377,000 or $.51 per share (up 70%)
on revenues of $84,493,000 (up 5%) for the first quarter ending April 30, 1995.
A final charge of $.2 million for obligations associated with Thermo Electron
Corp.'s unsolicited tender offer should bring this matter to a close
financially. Without this charge, earnings per share for the quarter would have
been $.52, up 73% over the same period last year.

   The Company is pleased with the results, which demonstrates that the
previously announced cost reduction program is very much on track. Profitability
was well balanced as earnings before interest and taxes were in the 10% to 11%
of revenues range for both the Puritan and Bennett lines.

   During May, the Company launched an important new liquid oxygen system
product and related marketing program that are part of a larger strategy to help
providers of home oxygen therapy reduce their total costs significantly by
substituting the Company's equipment for their direct labor, distribution, and
oxygen costs. This strategy is discussed at some length in the Company's FY 1995
Annual Report and is expected to benefit both the Company's liquid oxygen system
and oxygen concentrator businesses.

   In addition, the Company has a large number of sleep disorder products
scheduled for U.S. and international market introduction beginning this month
and continuing throughout the remainder of the year. With a productive R&D
program in place and a busy new product introduction schedule both this year and
next, the Company looks for faster revenue growth ahead.



                                                 /s/ Burton A. Dole Jr.
