                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The accompanying condensed financial statements as of June 30, 1995 and 1994 are
unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting
only of normal, recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of results
for the interim periods presented.

The accounting principles followed in the preparation of the financial
information contained herein are the same as those described in the Form 10-K
report for the year ended December 31, 1994, and reference is hereby made to
that report for detailed information on accounting policies.

1.       The Company's balance sheet reflects Common Stock outstanding on a
         historical bases. Net income per common share for the three and six
         month periods ended June 30, 1995 was based upon the weighted average
         of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.
         Net loss per share of Common Stock for the three and six month periods
         ended June 30, 1994 was based upon the weighted average number of
         common shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares
         were not included because they were anti-dilutive.

2.       The Company has a $1.25 million bank line of credit. Borrowings are due
         on demand, bear interest at 1% over a defined base rate (9% at June 30,
         1995), are secured by substantially all assets of the Company and are
         subject to certain restrictive covenants. Borrowings are limited to 80%
         of eligible Breathe Right accounts receivable. There were no borrowings
         against this line of credit as of June 30, 1995. The line of credit
         expires on March 31, 1996.

3.       The Company declared a two-for-one stock split, which was accomplished
         in the form of a 100 percent stock dividend distributed on June 22,
         1995 to shareholders of record on June 1, 1995. The accompanying
         condensed financial statements presented for all periods herein have
         been adjusted to reflect the increased shares.


Item 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.


On June 1, 1995, the Company completed the sale of all the assets of its Sleep
Disorder Diagnostic Products Division (Sleep) to Aequitron Medical Inc. Net sale
proceeds of $5,000,000 cash and a note receivable of $595,611 resulted in a gain
on the sale of discontinued operations of $1,915,890 which is recognized in the
second quarter of 1995. Sleep generated revenues were $853,209 and $2,405,546
with a net loss of $268,497 and $718,901 for the second quarter and six month
period of 1995, respectively, compared to revenues of $1,914,539 and $3,672,354
with net income of $41,168 and $7,068 for the second quarter and six month
period of 1994, respectively. The net income or loss of this operation is shown
on the Condensed Statement of Operations as the income (loss) from discontinued
operations. The net assets of Sleep were $2,990,990 at December 31, 1994.
Continuing operations of the Company is soley related to the manufacture and
marketing of the Breathe Right nasal strip, which is a non medicinal disposable
device that improves nasal breathing by reducing nasal airflow resistance.

Unless otherwise noted, the following discussion of financial condition and
results of operations relates only to the continuing operations of the Company.

Results of Operations:

Net sales of continuing operations increased to $18.8 million in the quarter
ended June 30, 1995 from $.5 million in the quarter ended June 30, 1994. For the
six month period of 1995 net sales were $26.3 million, up from $.9 million in
the comparable six month period of 1994. These significant increases of Breathe
Right sales were due to increased consumer awareness as a result of the use of
the Breathe Right nasal strips by professional athletes in several sports, as
well as the commencement of national consumer advertising in newspapers,
magazines and radio. The Company believes that the Breathe Right nasal strip
sales to wholesalers and retailers represent an expansion of their inventories
as well as a replenishment of product sold to consumers. Although second quarter
sales of 1995 continued to be strong for the Breathe Right, sales during the
period included the shipment of more than $7.5 million in back orders that
existed at the beginning of the quarter. The Company expects that the third
quarter sales of the Breathe Right nasal strip may ease somewhat from the second
quarter. Foreign sales of the Breathe Right nasal strip were $.6 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1995.

Gross profit was $11.7 million and $16.4 million compared to $.2 million and $.3
million in the second quarter and six month periods of 1995 and 1994,
respectively. As a percentage of sales, gross profit from sales was 62.4% and
62.2% for the two periods of 1995, respectively, compared to 31.2% and 29.8% for
the same two periods of 1994 as a result of the efficiencies realized from the
higher level of Breathe Right nasal strip sales.

Marketing and selling expenses were $3.8 million and $5.9 million in the second
quarter and six month periods of 1995, respectively, compared to $.5 million and
$.9 million in the same two periods of 1994, respectively. This significant
increase results primarily from the marketing expenses associated with
establishing distribution channels, trade advertisements, consumer
advertisements, and other product roll-out items for the Breathe Right nasal
strip. Marketing and selling expenses are expected to increase significantly in
1995 as a result of the increased marketing and advertising of the Breathe Right
nasal strip.

General and administrative expenses were $.4 million and $.7 million for the
second quarter and six month period ended June 30, 1995, respectively, compared
to $.2 million and $.3 million in the same two periods of 1994, respectively.
These increases result from the additional personnel and systems required to
support the Breathe Right nasal strip.

Research and Development expenses for the Breathe Right nasal strips are
minimal.

The Company received interest income of $221,000 during the first six months
ending June 30, 1995 compared to approximately $62,000 during the same six month
period of 1994. Interest expense during the reporting periods represents the
cost of minimal borrowings and maintaining the bank line of credit.

The tax expense of $910,000 on continuing operations represent the estimated tax
rate from all of 1995 applied to earnings for the six month period ended June
30, 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

At June 30, 1995, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $18.0 million,
working capital of $21.5 and $1.25 million line of credit with a bank, subject
to certain borrowing base restrictions. The Company had total assets at June 30,
1995 of $30.2 million, an increase of $18.6 from $11.6 million at December 31,
1994. The increase primarily reflects the Company's net income, the receipt of
proceeds from the sale of the sleep disorders product line and the increases in
current liabilities during the first six months of 1995.

The Company's operations provided approximately $6.3 million in cash flow during
the six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to a use of cash of $1.9 million for
the comparable six month period of 1994. Cash provided in operations was
primarily from net earnings, less an increase in accounts receivable of $5.5
million, an increase in inventories of $3.1 million, the gain on discontinued
operations of $1.9 million offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued
expenses of $7.1 million.

With respect to investing activities, the Company made purchases of property and
equipment totaling $249,000 during the first six months of 1995 compared to
$44,000 during the comparable six months of 1994. Capitalized patent and
trademark costs were approximately $25,000 in the first six months of 1995
compared to $67,000 during the first six months of 1994. The Company presently
does not have any significant commitments for capital equipment.

At June 30, 1995, the Company had a $1.25 million bank line of credit.
Borrowings are due on demand, bear interest at 1% over a defined base rate, (9%
at June 30, 1995) are secured by substantially all assets of the Company and are
subject to certain restrictive covenants. Borrowings are limited to 80% of
eligible Breathe Right accounts receivable. There were no borrowings against
this line of credit as of June 30, 1995. The credit line expires on March 31,
1996.

During the six month period ended June 30, 1995, the Company utilized net
operating loss carryforwards totaling approximately $9,965,000. The remaining
net operating loss and credit carryforwards at June 30, 1995 which are available
to reduce income taxes payable in future periods total $1,751,000 and $312,000
respectively, and expire at various times through 2009.

The Company believes that its existing funds and funds generated from
operations, along with its bank line of credit, will be sufficient to support
its planned operations for the foreseeable future.

Item 1.       Legal Proceedings
              Byron G. Ellingson v. Bruce C. Johnson, Creative Integration and
              Design, Inc. and CNS, Inc.

              In July 1994, Byron G. Ellingson commenced a lawsuit in Minnesota
              State District Court against the Company, Bruce Johnson (the
              inventor of the Breathe Right(R) device), and Creative Integration
              and Design, Inc., (the "Licensor"), which is wholly owned by
              Johnson and which licenses the Breathe Right(R) device to the
              Company. Ellingson claimed that he entered into an oral
              partnership agreement with Johnson concerning the Breathe Right(R)
              device and that the Company tortiously interfered with this
              agreement. Ellingson sought an undefined amount of monetary
              damages from the Company and an order declaring the License
              Agreement between the Company and the Licensor null and void.

              In June 1995, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with
              Ellingson under which Ellingson agreed to dismiss all claims
              against the Company with prejudice in return for a nominal cash
              payment. In connection with the Settlement Agreement, Ellingson
              released all claims to overturn the License Agreement. All of the
              Company's costs in defending the suit, including the settlement
              payment, were reimbursed to the Company by the Licensor. In July
              1995, Ellingson entered into a Settlement Agreement with Johnson
              and the Licensor which dismissed with prejudice all claims against
              Johnson and the Licensor.

              CNS, Inc. v. Bollinger Industries, Inc.

              In March 1995, the Company commenced litigation in Federal
              District Court for the District of Minnesota seeking an injunction
              and money damages against Bollinger Industries, Inc.
              ("Bollinger"), the manufacturer of a nasal strip, for deceptive
              trade practices and unfair competition. In April 1995, the Court
              issued a temporary restraining order prohibiting Bollinger from
              using certain misleading advertising. Bollinger brought a
              counterclaim against the Company seeking money damages and
              alleging that the Company had engaged in unfair competition by
              making statements to Bollinger's existing and prospective
              customers to the effect that Bollinger's product is required to
              have FDA approval to market.

              In June 1995, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with
              Bollinger that provides for the dismissal of the company's and
              Bollinger's claims. Bollinger also agreed to refrain from using
              certain misleading advertising, which it had been earlier enjoined
              from using by the temporary restraining order issued by the Court.
