3.  Bank Line of Credit

On December 31, 1997, the Company renewed its line of credit  arrangement with a
financial institution for $5 million. The line matures on May 30, 1999. The line
of credit is  collateralized  by accounts  receivable  and  inventory  and bears
interest at the prime rate (8.5% at  September  30,  1998,  and at December  31,
1997).  The  Company's  balance on its line of credit was zero at September  30,
1998 and December 31, 1997. Under the line of credit  agreement,  the Company is
restricted from declaring cash  dividends.  The renewal of the Company's line of
credit resulted in the addition of certain financial covenants.  As of September
30, 1998, the Company was in compliance with these financial covenants.

4.  Stockholders' Equity

Repurchase of Common Stock

On February 4, 1998, the Company  repurchased 6,700 shares of outstanding Common
Stock for $50,790.  The Company anticipates that all the shares repurchased will
be contributed to the Employees' Stock Ownership Plan.

5.  Related Party Transactions

On April 15, 1997, the Company entered into a consulting  agreement with another
company owned by certain  stockholders to provide  services related to strategic
planning, public relations,  financing and potential acquisition of new products
or companies. Under the consulting agreement, the Company paid an initial fee of
$50,000, and must pay $10,000 per month for two years.

In connection  with the secondary  public  offering  completed in November 1997,
certain  stockholders waived their registration  rights on 350,000 warrants.  In
exchange,  the  Company  and the  stockholders  executed a  registration  rights
agreement,  entitling the stockholders to certain demand registration rights for
a period of two years from February 1, 1998.

6.    Comprehensive Income

Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards  ("SFAS")  No. 130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income".  SFAS No. 130
requires that all items recognized  under accounting  standards as components of
comprehensive  income be  reported  in an  annual  financial  statement  that is
displayed with the same prominence as other annual  financial  statements.  This
statement  also requires that an entity  classify  items of other  comprehensive
income by their nature in an annual  financial  statement.  Other  comprehensive
income may include  foreign  currency  translation  adjustments,  and unrealized
gains and losses on marketable securities classified as available-for-sale.  For
the first  nine  months  ending  September  30,  1998,  SFAS No.  130 would have
required  the  Company to show  comprehensive  income of $53,797  lower than net
income reported on the Company's financial statements.

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

Results of Operations

The Company's  revenues for the third quarter of 1998  decreased to  $2,301,498,
from $2,437,734 for the third quarter of 1997, a decrease of  approximately  6%.
For the first nine months of 1998,  revenues  increased 21% to  $7,633,207  from
$6,311,490 for the nine months ended 1997.  Although revenues for the nine month
period increased due to overall increases in revenues of contract  manufacturing
and  proprietary  products,  three  months  revenues  are below the prior  years
revenue numbers due to customer delaying orders into the fourth quarter and into
1999.  During the first nine months of 1998, 51% of total revenues,  compared to
67% of total revenues for the first nine months of 1997,  resulted from sales to
three  customers,  all of whom  were  major  customers  in  1997.  Sales  of the
Company's Proprietary Product, the EnteraLite(R) Ambulatory Enteral Feeding Pump
and the enteral feeding  product line,  accounted for  approximately  39% of the
total  revenues  for the third  quarter of 1998,  compared  to 12% for the third
quarter of 1997.

The majority of the Company's products are manufactured for and sold to contract
manufacturing   customers,   who  market  the  final   product.   The  Company's
manufacturing revenue growth depends upon growth in demand for systems,  devices
and instruments manufactured by ZEVEX, and ZEVEX's ability to acquire additional
manufacturing  service  contracts  for these  products  from medical  technology
companies.  ZEVEX's contract manufacturing  customers have complete control over
the marketing and sales of products that ZEVEX  manufactures for them. ZEVEX has
no ability to  increase  demand for  instruments  that it  manufactures  for its
contract  manufacturing  customers.  No assurances can be given that orders from
any  customer  will  increase or remain at current  levels or that they will not
decline.

The Company's gross profit as a percentage of revenues was approximately 14% for
the three months ended  September 30, 1998,  as compared to 39% for 1997.  Gross
profits for nine months ended  September 30, 1998, were 36% for 1998 and 45% for
1997.  Management attributes the decrease in gross profit percentage to a number
of matters,  including  (1) a shift in the revenue mix of its  products to lower
margin items that were sold during the quarter,  (2) delays  experienced  in the
delivery schedules dictated by three of the Company's major customers, where the
Company  normally  experiences  a higher gross margin,  (3)  increased  costs of
engineering staff to execute new engineering and production jobs obtained by the
Company  during the second and third  quarters,  (4) the Company  also  recorded
revenues  related the Nutrition  Medical  acquisition  as well as  non-recurring
engineering  (NRE)  tooling costs on which the Company did not realize any gross
profit and (5) the Company  recognized  costs  associated  with a  reengineering
project to enhance the marketability of a product on a cost-sharing basis with a
major customer.

Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  for  the  three  months  ended
September 30, 1998,  increased $332,417,  from $668,065 in 1997 to $1,000,482 in
1998.  For  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1998,   selling,   general  and
administrative  increased  $1,149,277  from  $1,726,916 in 1997 to $2,876,193 in
1998.  Increased  expenses  resulted from the Company's  continuing growth as it
establishes  marketing  channels  for  proprietary  products.  The Company had a
one-time  expense  related to its application and listing on the NASDAQ National
Market,  also increased  legal,  accounting,  general  consulting and public and
investor  relations  increased  general  expenses.  Expanded sales and marketing
efforts increased  staffing,  travel,  advertising and  administrative  expenses
related to the Company's  proprietary  clinical nutrition delivery product line.
The  Company  also had an increase in  expenses  related to  employees,  such as
insurance,  taxes, and pension  benefits.  The Company believes that general and
administrative   expenses  in  1998  as  related  to  sales  will   continue  at
approximately the same percentage as in the previous two years.

Research and development  expenses vary from quarter to quarter depending on the
number and nature of pending research and development projects and their various
stages of completion.  For the three months ended  September 30, 1998,  research
and development  expenses were $53,328 in 1998, compared to $63,749 in 1997. For
nine months ended  September 30, 1998,  research and  development  expenses were
$209,302 for 1998 and $521,870 for 1997. Significant fluctuations experienced in
research  and  development  are  due to the  timing  of the  Company's  research
projects.  Expenses  incurred  during the third  quarter were for the  continued
development  of new  applications  of the Company's  ultrasound  technology  and
proprietary products.  Management believes investing in research and development
will serve the Company's  future well,  and intends to continue this  investment
for the foreseeable future.  Research and development  expenses will continue at
approximately the same percentage as in the previous two years.

For the three  months  ended  September  30,  1998 the Company had a net loss of
$419,844,  18% of revenues compared to $128,238 net income, for the three months
ended September 30, 1997, or approximately 5.1% of revenues.  Net income for the
nine months ended  September 30, 1998,  decreased to $42,445,  0.5% of revenues,
from  $410,763,  6.5% of 1997  revenues.  The decrease in net income  during the
third quarter of 1998, as compared to the third quarter of 1997, is  principally
due to the lower margin product sold,  increased  engineering  staff and related
expenses as discussed above.

As of  September  30,  1998,  the  Company's  backlog  of  customer  orders  was
$6,327,000,  as  compared  to  $7,726,000  on  September  30,  1997.  Management
estimates that  approximately 60% of the backlog will be shipped before December
31, 1998. The Company's  backlog is for contract  manufacturing  only and can be
drastically  affected  by the timing of annual or  semi-annual  purchase  orders
placed by its customers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three months and nine months ended  September  30, 1998,  the Company
produced  a net  loss of  $419,844  and net  income  of  $42,445,  respectively,
compared  to net incomes of $56,987 and  $282,525,  respectively,  for the three
months and nine months ended  September 30, 1997.  Cash  decreased by $2,257,740
for the nine months ending September 30, 1998, as the Company  continued to fund
an increase in accounts  receivable  and  inventories,  as well as  purchases of
property, plant and equipment.

The  Company's  investment in property,  patents from new research,  production,
test equipment and tooling was  $1,075,662  for the nine months ended  September
30, 1998,  compared to $2,883,588 in 1997. The Company paid $580,000 to purchase
a parcel of land,  approximately 3.47 acres, to the north of its facility. Total
expenditures  for  equipment of $476,214  were  primarily  due to upgrading  the
Company's research, design and engineering capabilities.  The Company expects to
spend   approximately   $100,000  for  the  remainder  of  1998  for  additional
manufacturing equipment, as well as for normal replacement of old equipment. The
Company  also  anticipates  approximately  $250,000 of  additional  research and
development expenses during 1998.

The Company's working capital at September 30, 1998 was $16,438,601, compared to
$3,587,841 at September 30, 1997.  The increase in working  capital is primarily
due to the secondary  offering that was completed in November 1997, as described
in the  Stockholders'  Equity  section  of the Notes to  Consolidated  Financial
Statements in the Company's 1997 Annual Report.  The portion of working  capital
represented  by cash at such  dates was $2,686 and  $135,699  respectively.  The
Company  has  $10,496,008  in short term,  investment  grade,  interest  bearing
investments at September 30, 1998. The Company uses substantial  portions of its
cash  from  time  to  time  to  fund  its  operations,  including  increases  in
inventories,  accounts receivable and work in process in connection with various
customer orders.
