NOTE C - NOTE PAYABLE

     In November 2000, the Company  purchased its present  operating  facilities
and secured a note payable from a financial institution for $1,141,667. The note
bears  interest  at the Libor Rate plus 150 basis  points  (approximately  8% at
November  30,  2000) and is due in monthly  payments  of interest  only,  with a
balloon  payment due in May 2001.  The note is secured by the  building, and the
Company  maintains a restricted cash balance with the financial  institution for
the amount of the note  during its term.  The  Company  has  received  long-term
financing  commitments  under  two  programs  sponsored  by New  York  State  at
favorable fixed interest rates. The existing note will be refinanced under these
commitments by May 2001.

NOTE D - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
     In the first half of fiscal  2001,  the Board of  Directors  granted  stock
options  under the 1999 Stock  Option Plan to employees to purchase an aggregate
of 528,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $3.88 to $4.69
per share  (which  represented  the fair market value of the  underlying  common
stock at the time of the respective  grants).
     In the first half of fiscal 2001,  options and warrants to purchase 485,712
shares of common stock were exercised,  aggregating  $953,896 in proceeds to the
Company.

NOTE E - EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
     Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common
shares  outstanding  without  consideration of potential  common stock.  Diluted
earnings  per share are based on the  weighted  number of common  and  potential
common shares  outstanding.  The calculation  takes into account the shares that
may be issued upon the exercise of stock  options and  warrants,  reduced by the
shares that may be repurchased with the funds received from the exercise,  based
on the  average  price  during the  period,  and  convertible  preferred  stock,
assuming conversion at the beginning of the period.
     The  following  table  sets  forth the  computation  of basic  and  diluted
earnings per share:

NOTE F - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
----------
     In May 1996,  an action was  commenced in the Supreme Court of the State of
New York, Nassau County,  against the Company,  its directors and certain of its
officers  and  employees  for the alleged  breach of an  agreement  to appoint a
non-affiliated party as its exclusive  distributor of EECP(R) systems. In August
1999, a motion for summary judgment to dismiss the complaint in its entirety was
granted.  In November 2000, this dismissal was affirmed on appeal.
     In May 1998, an action was commenced in the New York Supreme Court, Suffolk
County,  against the Company and other parties. The action sought damages in the
sum of  $5,000,000  based  upon  alleged  injuries  resulting  from the  alleged
negligence of the  defendants in the use of the  Company's  product.  In October
2000, the court dismissed the plaintiff's complaint in its entirety.
     In February  1999,  an action was commenced in the  Massachusetts  Superior
Court, Essex County, against the Company. The action seeks damages in the sum of
$1,000,000  based  upon an  alleged  breach  of a sales  contract.  The  Company
believes  that the  complaint is frivolous  and without  merit and is vigorously
defending the claims.  This matter is in its preliminary stages, and the Company
is unable to establish the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or the existence
or amount of any potential loss.

Agreement with VAMED
--------------------
     In connection with an acquisition in 1995, the Company assumed  commitments
under an  agreement,  expiring  November  2008,  with VAMED  Medical  Instrument
Company Ltd. ("VAMED"),  a Chinese company,  for the contract manufacture of its
current EECP(R) system, subject to certain performance standards, as defined. At
November 30, 2000, the Company had outstanding purchase commitments of $972,000.
The Company  believes  that VAMED will be able to meet the  Company's  needs for
EECP(R) systems.

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

Results of Operations
---------------------
Six Months and Three Months Ended November 30, 2000 and 1999
------------------------------------------------------------
     The Company  generated  revenues from the sale and lease of EECP(R) systems
of $11,699,000 and $5,976,000 for the six-month  periods ended November 30, 2000
and 1999, respectively and $6,454,000 and $2,596,000 for the three-month periods
ended November 30, 2000 and 1999 respectively. The Company generated earnings of
$3,095,000 and $398,000,  respectively  (before  deducting  $74,000 in preferred
stock dividend requirements for the six months ended November 30, 1999), for the
six months  ended  November  30, 2000 and 1999 and  earnings of  $1,695,000  and
$90,000,  respectively  (before  deducting  $36,000 in preferred  stock dividend
requirements for the three months ended November 30, 1999), for the three months
ended November 30, 2000 and 1999.
     The number of cardiology  practices  and  hospitals  interested in becoming
providers of enhanced external  counterpulsation  (EECP) increased following the
announcement by the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) in February 1999
of its  decision  to  extend  Medicare  coverage  nationally  to  the  Company's
noninvasive,  outpatient  treatment  for coronary  artery  disease.  HCFA is the
federal  agency that  administers  the  Medicare  program for  approximately  38
million  beneficiaries.  In addition,  the results of the Company's multicenter,
prospective,  randomized, blinded, controlled clinical study of EECP (MUST-EECP)
were published in the June 1999 issue of the Journal of the American  College of
Cardiology.  Interest in EECP therapy has also been spurred by the  announcement
of the results of six-month and twelve-month post-treatment outcomes reported by
the  International  EECP  Patient  Registry and  presented  at major  scientific
meetings,  including  the  American  Heart  Association  (AHA) and the  American
College of Cardiology (ACC) annual meetings.
     Revenue  growth in the prior  fiscal  period  (fiscal  2000) was  initially
hindered because local Medicare contractors  established  inappropriate  payment
levels  that did not take into  account the full value of the  resources  health
care  providers must deploy to deliver EECP therapy.  Consequently,  in November
1999,  HCFA created a specific  code for external  counterpulsation  therapy and
established a nationally applicable allowable charge,  which became effective on
January  1,  2000.  The  allowable  charge  under the new code was based  upon a
preliminary determination of Relative Value Units (RVUs) assigned by HCFA to the
resources  needed for the  administration  of the therapy.  Certain patients may
require  additional  services,  such as evaluation and management,  which may be
billed  separately.  The  Company  estimates  the  standard  national  charge to
approximate  $130 per session of EECP therapy,  which may be adjusted by certain
geographic indices.  This would result in a standard charge of $4,550 for a full
course of therapy, which typically involves 35 one-hour outpatient sessions. The
assigned  code  will  allow  EECP  providers  to bill  Medicare  electronically,
substantially  reducing the process for receiving  reimbursement.  Moreover,  in
light of the new payment instructions, local Medicare contractors will no longer
have the responsibility of establishing reimbursement rates. Beginning August 1,
2000,  Medicare  coverage was extended to include EECP treatment  received on an
outpatient  basis  at  hospitals  and  outpatient  clinics  under  the  new  APC
(Ambulatory  Payment  Classification)  system. The national average payment rate
approximates $150 per session.  These events led to an increased demand for EECP
therapy and EECP(R)  equipment  and,  consequently,  to revenue  growth.  An 11%
increase in the  reimbursement  rate for EECP therapy has been  approved by HCFA
with  effect from  January 1, 2001. This raises the average  Medicare payment to
$143.85.
     Gross margins are dependent on a number of factors, particularly the mix of
EECP(R) units sold and rented during the period,  the ongoing costs of servicing
such units, and certain fixed period costs,  including  facilities,  payroll and
insurance.  Gross  margins  are  furthermore  affected  by the  location  of the
Company's  customers   (including  non-  domestic  business  or  distributorship
arrangements  which,  for discounted  equipment  purchase  prices,  co-invest in
establishing  a market  for  EECP(R)  equipment)  and the  amount  and nature of
training and other initial costs required to place the EECP(R) system in service
for customer use.  Consequently,  the gross margin  realized  during the current
period may not be indicative of future margins.
     Selling,  general and  administrative  (SG&A)  expenses  for the six months
ended November 30, 2000 and 1999 were $5,279,000 and  $3,349,000,  respectively,
and $2,951,000 and $1,606,000, respectively, for the three months ended November
30, 2000 and 1999.  The increases in SG&A expenses of $1,930,000  and $1,345,000
from the comparable  prior-year fiscal periods resulted primarily from increases
in  administration,  sales and  marketing  personnel,  as well as other  selling
expenses related to increased revenues.

     Research and  development  (R&D) expenses in the six and three months ended
November  30,  2000  increased  by  $287,000  and  $97,000  from the  comparable
prior-year  periods.  The increases relate primarily to continued product design
and  development  costs  (including  an increase in  personnel),  as well as the
initiation of the pivotal study in heart failure (which received FDA approval in
July 2000). The Company's newly developed EECP system,  Model TS-3, received FDA
510(k) clearance to market in December 2000.
     The  increase  in  interest  income is the  result of larger  average  cash
balances invested during the current period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
     The Company has financed its fiscal 2001 and 2000 operations primarily from
working capital and operating  results.  At November 30, 2000, the Company had a
cash balance of $3,802,000  and working  capital of  $10,224,000,  compared to a
cash balance of  $3,058,000  and working  capital of $7,380,000 at May 31, 2000.
The Company's operating activities used cash of $56,000 and $200,000 for the six
months ended November 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.  Net cash used during the
six months  ended  November  30,  2000  consisted  primarily  of  earnings  from
operations,  increases  in  accounts  payable and  accrued  expenses,  offset by
increases in accounts  receivable,  other current  assets and  inventories.  The
increase  in  inventories,  particularly  raw  materials,  and the  increase  in
accounts  payable are  attributable to the purchase of components and assemblies
for the production of the new Model TS-3 system, which was recently  cleared for
marketing by the FDA.
     Investing activities used net cash of $1,296,000 and $31,000 during the six
months ended November 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The principal uses were
for the  purchase of  property  and  equipment,  including  the  purchase of the
Company's present operating facilities in mid-November 2000. The purchase price,
including  planned  improvements,  is estimated at  $1,400,000.  The Company has
secured  long-term  financing at favorable  interest rates through two financing
programs  sponsored by New York State, which are expected to close in early 2001
upon the completion of building renovations.  In the interim period, the Company
has secured bridge  financing with a financial  institution  for a period of six
months, for which $1,141,667 cash has been restricted as collateral.
     Financing activities provided cash of $2,096,000 and $51,000 during the six
months ended  November  30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  Financing  activities
during  fiscal  2001  and  2000  consisted  primarily  from  the  November  2000
transaction to finance the purchase of the Company's  operating  facilities,  as
well as $954,000 from the sale of common stock and receipt of cash proceeds upon
the exercise of Company common stock warrants by officers, directors,  employees
and consultants.
     Management believes that its working capital position at November 30, 2000,
along with the  ongoing  commercialization  of the EECP(R)  system and  possible
further  proceeds  from the  exercise  of  options  and  warrants,  will make it
possible  for the  Company to support  its  internal  overhead  expenses  and to
implement its business plans for at least the next twelve months.
