         VALLEY FORGE SCIENTIFIC CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                  Notes to Financial Statements
                        December 31, 1996



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.  In
     January 1993, VFSC formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Valley Consumer
     Products, Inc. ("VCP") to market specific product lines.  During 1996,
     VCP commenced initial operations and began marketing the CPR mask system
     developed by VFSC. Collectively, VFSC, DEC and VCP are referred to herein
     as the "Company".  The accompanying financial statements consolidate the
     accounts of the parent company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All
     significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated
     in consolidation.

2.   The September 30, 1997 balance sheet date was derived from audited
     financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by
     generally accepted accounting principles.  In the opinion of management,
     the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments
     necessary to present fairly the financial position as of December 31, 1997
     and the statements of operations for the three months ended December
     31, 1997 and 1996 and the statements of cash flows for the three months
     ended December 31, 1997 and 1996.

     The statements of operations for the three months ended December 31, 1997
     and 1996 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

     While the Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to 
     make the information not misleading, these financial statements should be
     read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes
     included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
     ended September 30, 1997.

3.   Earnings (loss) per share are based on the weighted average number of
     common shares outstanding.  Earnings (loss) per share - assuming dilution
     are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
     including common stock equivalents if dilutive.

were 78% greater than sales in the corresponding period in 1996.  The sales
increase reflected increased sales to Johnson & Johnson Professional,
Inc. ("J&J") due to higher demand for the Company's bipolar generators. 
Sales to J&J during  the last quarter of the calendar year are traditionally
at lower levels than during the other calendar quarters.

     During the December 31, 1997 quarter, the Company made initial
shipments of sample units of generators and certain disposable instruments
to BEI Medical Systems Company , Inc. for use in the gynecological surgical
market. In the second quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company  plans to commence
shipments of disposable instruments for use in the fields of neurosurgery,
gynecology and plastic and reconstructive surgery. 

     The gross profit of $391,814 for the three months ended December
31, 1997 was 47% of sales, as compared to gross profit of $160,555 for the
three months ended December 31, 1996, which was 34% of sales. The increase
in gross profit reflects the higher sales volume of generators by the Company.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months
ended December 31, 1997 remained relatively constant at $381,995 as compared
to $376,083 for the three months ended December 31, 1996.  The Company continued
its commitment to research and development with expenditures of $86,940 for the
three months ended December 31, 1997. The research and development includes
costs for the further development and refinement of generators and
instrumentation for use in the gynecology,laparoscopic and arthroscopic surgery
markets.

     The Company  incurred  a loss from operations of $99, 676 for the
three months  ended December 31, 1997 as compared to a loss from operations
of $323,597 for the three months ended December 31, 1996. The Company's
benefit of income taxes was $31,303 for the three months ended December 31 1997,
as compared to $127,347 for the three months ended December 31, 1996. As a
result of the foregoing, net loss was $60,971 for the three months ended
December 31, 1997, as compared to net loss of $195,562 for the three months
ended December 31, 1996.  Loss per common share was $(.01) for the three
months ended December 31, 1997 and $(.02) for the three months ended December
31, 1996.

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 its borrowing ability.  During the three months ended December
31, 1997, the Company's working capital decreased by $40,034 to $2,911,405.

     The Company provided $127,280 from operating activities for the first
three months of fiscal 1997 principally from a decrease in accounts receivable
of $145,158 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of
$57,810, less the Company's net loss (as adjusted for depreciation and
amortization) of $26,880 and an increase in prepaid items and other current
assets of $28,376.

     Investing activities for the first three months of fiscal 1998 used a
total of $4,834 for the purchase of property and equipment.  As a result of the
foregoing, cash increased by $122,446 in the first three months of fiscal 1998,
resulting in a balance of $755,350 in the Company's cash and cash equivalents at
December 31, 1997.

     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 at
competitive rates and terms.
