                       March 31, 1996 and 1995
 


1.   Valley Forge Scientific Corp. ("VFSC") is engaged in the business of
     developing, manufacturing and selling medical devices and products.  On
August
     18, 1994, VFSC formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Diversified Electronics
     Company, Inc. ("DEC"), a Pennsylvania corporation, in order to continue the
     operations of Diversified Electronic Corporation, a company which was
merged
     with and into VFSC on August 31, 1994.  Collectively, VFSC and DEC are
     referred to herein as the "Company".

2.   In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
     statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the

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

Results of Operations

     Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended March 31, 1996
Compared to the Three and Six Months Ended March 31, 1995.

     Sales of $1,387,963 for the six months ended March 31, 1996 were 7% greater
than sales of $1,292,323 for the six months ended March 31, 1995, while sales of
$719,575 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were 28% less than sales of
$1,006,173 for the three months ended March 31, 1995.

     Sales to Johnson & Johnson Professional, Inc. ("J&J") were at lower levels
in
1996 due to hospital budget constraints, which are anticipated to be relieved
commencing
in the third quarter of 1996, and the introduction of two new generators
developed by
the Company for J&J.  Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of 1996, J&J
commenced marketing of the Company's new bipolar generator for neurosurgery
under
the name "Synergy Malis Bipolar Coagulator."

     In March 1996, the Company commenced selling its VFS 200 bipolar
electrosurgical system for use in magnetic imaging therapy.  Magnetic imaging
therapy
involves using magnetic resonance imaging equipment in conjunction with an
operative
procedure, generally a tumor biopsy.  To the Company's knowledge, the Company's
VFS 200, with its unique circuitry, is the only electrosurgical system which
can be used
in the same room with MRI equipment.

     Also in March 1996, the Company modified its distribution agreement for the
CPR mask system with CDX Corporation from an exclusive distribution agreement to
a nonexclusive distribution agreement.  The Company is now prepared to market
the
CPR Mask System directly with other customers and distributors.

     Gross profit was $372,224 and $697,217 for the three and six months ended
March 31, 1996 as compared to gross profit of $566,981 and $716,158 for the
corresponding periods in 1995.  The Company's gross profit margin was 52% and
50%
for the three and six months March 31, 1996 as compared to 56% and 55% for the
corresponding periods in the prior year.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months
ended
March 31, 1996 were $384,670 and $744,927, respectively, representing a 25% and
29% increase from the amounts for the corresponding periods in 1995.  Selling,
general
and administrative expenses were impacted by costs related to the assimilation
of
Diversified Electronic Corporation as a result of the August 1994 merger into
the
Company.  Research and development expenses were $26,385 and $46,478 for the
three
and six months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to $28,683 and $48,157 for the
corresponding periods in 1995.

     In March 1996, the Company received FDA permission to market its new line
of bipolar cutting loops, which are to be used in conjunction with the
Company's bipolar
generators for use in neurosurgery, gynecology, urology and general and
laparascopic
surgery.

     The Company had a loss from operations for $61,386 and $139,299 for the
three
and six months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to income from operations of
$210,393 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and a loss from operations of
$4,412 from the six months ended March 31 ,1995.  The Company's income tax
(benefit) was ($6,746) and ($28,349), respectively, for the three and six
months ended
March 31, 1996, as compared to provision for income taxes of $87,141 and $955,
respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 1995.

     As a result of the foregoing, net loss was $50,784 and $102,767 for the
three
and six months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to net income of $125,667 and
$1,267 for the three and six months ended March 31, 1995.  Primary and fully
diluted
loss per share was $.01 for the three and six months ended March 31, 1996, as
compared to an earnings per share of $.02 and $.00 for the three and six months
ended
March 31, 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The primary measures of the Company's liquidity are cash balances
(including
short-term investments), accounts receivable and inventory balances, as well as
it
borrowing ability.  During the six months ended March 31, 1996, the Company's
working capital decreased by $40,050 to $2,756,241.

     The Company used $235,137 in operating activities for the first six months
of
fiscal 1995 principally from the Company's net loss as adjusted for the
depreciation and
amortization of $71,085, an increase in inventory of $236,136, an increase in
prepaid
items of $37,399, and a decrease in accounts receivable of $33,166, less an
increase in
accounts payable and accrued expenses of $125,313.  The increase in the
Company's
inventory for the first six months of fiscal 1996 was primarily due to an
increase in
materials and parts to support orders and anticipated orders for the Company's
bipolar
generators in fiscal 1996.

     Investing activities for the first six months of fiscal 1996 used a total
of $8,368
for the purchase of equipment.  Financing activities for the first six months
of fiscal
1996 used $95,678 principally as a result of the Company's payment of $100,000
principal paid under a note issued in connection with the merger with
Diversified
Electronics Corporation.  As a result of the foregoing, cash decreased by
$339,183 in
the first six months of fiscal 1996, leaving a balance of $176,051 in the
Company's cash
and cash equivalents at March 31, 1996.

     On March 1, 1996, the Company and Bernard H. Shuman, a director of the
Company, modified the payment terms of a note originally issued in connection
with the
Company's merger with Diversified Electronic Corporation in August 1994, and
which
was due on March 1, 1996.  Pursuant to the modification, the Company paid Mr.
Shuman $100,000 to reduce the principal balance of the Note, and agreed to pay
the
remaining $85,000 on August 1, 1996.

     The Company has no long-term debt.  The Company believes it has available
all funds needed for operations, research and development and capital
expenditures as
they may arise in the future.  However, should it be necessary, the Company
believes
it could borrow adequate funds a competitive rates and terms.
