NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
July 3, 1999
NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim periods
presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending October 2, 1999. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 3, 1998.
On September 27, 1997, BEI Electronics, Inc. ("Electronics") distributed
to holders of Electronics common stock one share of common stock of BEI
Technologies, Inc. ("Technologies"), a newly formed subsidiary, for each share
of Electronics common stock held (the "Distribution"). In connection with the
Distribution, Electronics transferred to Technologies all of the assets,
liabilities and operations of its BEI Sensors & Systems Company, Inc. and
Defense Systems Company, Inc. business segments. After the Distribution, the
sole asset of Electronics was its investment in its subsidiary, BEI Medical
Systems Company, Inc. ("Medical"). On November 4, 1997, Electronics merged with
Medical and became one company with Electronics as the surviving corporation
(the "Merger"). After the Merger, Electronics changed its name to BEI Medical
Systems Company, Inc. (the "Company").

NOTE 3 -- LOSS PER SHARE
As a result of the net loss for all periods presented, weighted average
shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share are the same.
Weighted average shares exclude unvested restricted stock, which amounted to
151,000 and 338,000 shares at July 3, 1999 and June 28, 1998 respectively.
Common stock equivalents are excluded from the loss per share for all periods
presented because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

<PAGE>
NOTE 4 -- NOTE PAYABLE
As of May 7, 1999, the Company signed an agreement with Transamerica
Business Credit Corporation ("TBCC") to provide up to $2,500,000 in senior
secured financing. Key components of the agreement are as follows:
TBCC is providing the Company with a Revolving Credit Facility under which
the Company may from time to time borrow an aggregate amount not to exceed the
lesser of $1,000,000 or an amount equal to 85% of the amount of the Company's
eligible accounts receivable as defined in the agreement (the "Revolving Loan").
In addition to the Revolving Loan, TBCC is providing the Company with a Senior
Term Loan not to exceed $1,500,000 (the "Term Loan"). The Term Loan was made in
an initial disbursement in the amount of $1,000,000; on May 7, 1999 with an
additional disbursement of $500,000 to be made upon the closing of an equity
issuance by the Company generating net proceeds of not less than $2,000,000. All
borrowings under the TBCC agreement are collaterized by all of the assets of the
Company.
The term of the Revolving Loan is one year from the date of the agreement
and may be renewed upon the agreement of both parties. The interest rate on the
Revolving Loan will be the Base Rate (defined below) plus 3.0% per annum,
provided that the interest rate in effect in each month will not be less than
9.0% per annum, and provided that the interest charged for each month in respect
of the Revolving Credit Facility shall be a minimum of $3,000, regardless of the
amount of the obligations outstanding. Base Rate means the highest prime, base
or equivalent rate of interest announced from time to time by Citibank, N.A.
(which may not be the lowest rate of interest charged by such bank).
The term of each disbursement of the Term Loan is for 30 months after the
date of such disbursement and the interest on the Term Loan accrues at a rate
not less than 13.5% per annum.
Concurrent with the above transaction, the Company provided TBCC with a
seven-year warrant to purchase 92,308 shares of common stock at an initial
exercise price of $1.625 per share, subject to adjustment. The warrant is
currently exercisable.

Quarters Ended July 3, 1999 and June 28, 1998
Revenues for the third quarter ended July 3, 1999, were $2,347,000 an
increase of $54,000 or 2.4% from the quarter ended June 28, 1998. The higher
revenue reflects the impact of increased shipments of
Hydro-ThermAblator(R)(HTA(R)) systems and associated disposable products to
international customers. Revenues from these products in the third fiscal
quarter of 1999 increased $60,000 to $115,000 or 109.1% compared to the third
fiscal quarter of 1998, reflecting growing acceptance of the HTA system for
treatment of endometrial ablation in
9
<PAGE>
certain international markets. In addition revenues from OEM products grew
$57,000 to $287,000 or 24.8%. Revenues from gynecology products were virtually
unchanged from the comparable period of fiscal 1998. Gynecology revenues reflect
increased shipments of disposable instruments that were partially offset by
reduced shipments of hardware and reusable instruments. Revenues from
gastrointestinal products in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 were $185,000, a
decline of $50,000 or 21.3% compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1998,
reflecting reduced volume of generators and disposable probes.
Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 40.8% in the third quarter of
fiscal 1999 compared to 41.1% for the comparable quarter in fiscal 1998. The
decrease was principally due to a change in the product mix, with a larger
portion of lower margin products shipped during the third quarter of fiscal 1999
compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1998. Partially offsetting the reduction
in gross margin were decreases in direct labor and overhead costs of $129,000
for the quarter ended July 3, 1999 compared to the same period in fiscal 1998.
This decrease resulted primarily from the consolidation of the Company's
manufacturing and distribution facilities that occurred in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 1998.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $112,000 to
$1,869,000 or 79.6% of revenue for the quarter ended July 3, 1999 compared to
$1,757,000 or 76.6% of revenue for the comparable period in fiscal 1998. Third
quarter fiscal 1999 expenses reflect reduced selling expense, resulting from
decreased marketing, commission and travel expenses as well as lower
amortization of intangibles. However, these savings were offset by the absence
in fiscal 1999 of a one-time net benefit in the third quarter of fiscal 1998 of
$488,000. Third quarter fiscal 1998 expenses reflected the benefit of a
$1,313,000 reversal of previously expensed legal fees which were reimbursed by
the Company's insurance carrier. This benefit in fiscal 1998 third quarter was
partially offset by a charge of approximately $354,000 in expenses related to
the consolidation of the Company's facilities and a charge of $471,000 to reduce
the carrying value of certain intangible assets to net realizable value.
Research, development and related expenses as a percentage of revenues
were 38.4% or $902,000 for the third quarter ended July 3, 1999 compared to
33.9% or $778,000 for the same period of fiscal 1998. The increased spending
reflects expenses associated with recruiting and treating patients as part of
the HTA Phase III clinical trials in the United States. The Company received
approval from the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") to proceed to the Phase
III portion of the HTA clinical trials in July 1998 and in September 1998 began
to treat patients under the approved protocol. The Company was required to treat
276 patients at its nine U.S. clinical sites under the Phase III protocol. As of
August 6, 1999, all of the 276 patients were treated. Data from examinations one
year following treatment is one of the requirements for FDA approval.
Interest income declined to $25,000 in the quarter ended July 3, 1999
compared to $54,000 in the quarter ended June 28, 1998, as a result of the lower
average cash balances during the quarter.
Interest expense increased to $29,000 in the quarter ended July 3, 1999
compared to $2,000 in the quarter ended June 28, 1998, as a result of the
$1,000,000 term note and related credit facility which the Company entered in
May 1999. See "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements /Note 4 -
Note Payable".
10
<PAGE>
Income tax benefit was 5.9% of the pretax loss for the quarter ended July
3, 1999 compared to 36.6% of the pretax loss in the quarter ended June 28, 1998.
The income tax benefit reflects the Company's ability to carry back losses and
collect a refund against prior years' taxes paid on the earnings of previously
discontinued operations. The amount of carryback available to the Company is
limited to the taxes paid on earnings of the previous two fiscal years and the
lower effective tax rate in fiscal 1999 results from the reduced amount of
remaining carryback available to the Company compared to fiscal 1998. The
remaining net carryback available to the Company is approximately $75,000, which
will be recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999.
Nine-months Ended July 3, 1999 and June 28, 1998
Revenues for the nine-months ended July 3, 1999, were $6,512,000 a
decrease of $734,000 or 10.1% from the comparable nine-month period ended June
28, 1998. The lower revenue principally reflects the impact of reduced shipments
of reusable instruments to both domestic and international customers generally
due to soft market conditions and increased competition. Revenues from these
products declined $520,000 or 16.0% in the nine-month period ended July 3, 1999
compared to the nine-month period ended June 28, 1998. Additionally, revenues
from disposable instruments declined by $96,000 reflecting the market impact
early in the fiscal year of a temporary supply shortfall from one outside vendor
and revenues from gastrointestinal products declined $106,000 or 15.9%.
Partially offsetting the above were increased international revenues from
shipments of the Company's HTA system for endometrial ablation. HTA revenues for
the nine-months ended July 3, 1999 increased to $260,000 or 10.2% from the
comparable period of fiscal 1998. The higher HTA revenue in fiscal 1999 reflects
increased adaptation of the HTA procedure in certain international markets. The
HTA system is now available for sale in 18 countries. Additionally, revenues
from OEM products increased in fiscal 1999 to $818,000, a 7.8% increase.
Gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased to 40.4% in the first
nine-months of fiscal 1999 compared to 41.5% for the first nine-months of fiscal
1998. The decrease was principally due to a change in the product mix, with a
larger portion of lower margin products being sold during the nine-months ended
July 3, 1999 compared to the comparable period of fiscal 1998, and higher
overhead absorption costs resulting from the reduced volume. Partially
offsetting the reduction in gross margins were decreases in direct labor and
overhead costs of $336,000 for the nine-month period ended July 3, 1999,
compared to the prior period. This decrease resulted primarily from the
consolidation of the Company's manufacturing and distribution facilities that
occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $839,000 to
$5,414,000 or 83.1% of revenues for the nine-months ended July 3, 1999 compared
to $6,253,000 or 86.3% of revenues for the nine-month period in fiscal 1998. The
decline in expenses reflects reduced amortization of intangible assets of
$397,000 following the sale of a previously acquired product line, as well as
the impact of a non-compete agreement that became fully amortized during the
third quarter of fiscal 1998. Selling expenses declined approximately $251,000
for the nine-months ended July 3, 1999 compared to the same period in fiscal
1998, reflecting lower commissions and marketing expenses as a result of Company
11
<PAGE>
efforts to reduce selling costs. Additionally, the decrease reflects the absence
in fiscal 1999 of one-time net charge of $102,000 incurred in fiscal 1998.
Nine-month fiscal 1998 results included the benefit of $723,000 representing the
reversal of previously expensed legal fees which were reimbursed by the
Company's insurance carrier partially offset by a charge of approximately
$354,000 related to the consolidation of the Company's facilities and a charge
of $471,000 to reduce the carrying value of certain intangible assets to their
net realizable value.
Research, development and related expenses as a percentage of revenues
were 38.2% or $2,485,000 for the nine-months ended July 3, 1999 compared to
24.5% or $1,772,000 for the same period of fiscal 1998. The increased spending
reflects expenses associated with recruiting and treating patients as part of
the HTA Phase III clinical trials in the United States. The Company received
approval from the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") to proceed to the Phase
III portion of the HTA clinical trials in July 1998 and in September 1998 began
to treat patients under the approved protocol. The Company was required to treat
276 patients at its nine U.S. clinical sites under the Phase III protocol. As of
August 6, 1999, all of the 276 patients were treated. Data from examinations one
year following treatment is one of the requirements for FDA approval.
Interest income declined to $87,000 in the nine-month period ended July 3,
1999 compared to $272,000 in the prior period, as a result of lower average cash
balances during the period.
Interest expense increased to $28,000 in the nine-month period ended July
3, 1999 compared to $21,000 in the prior period, as a result of the Company's
$1,000,000 term note and related credit facility which the Company entered into
in May 1999.
Income tax benefit was 6.1% of the pretax loss in the nine-month period
ended July 3, 1999 compared to 30.3% of the pretax loss in the comparable period
of fiscal 1998. The income tax benefit reflects the Company's ability to carry
back losses and collect a refund against prior years' taxes paid on the earnings
of previously discontinued operations. The amount of carryback available to the
Company is limited to the taxes paid on earnings of the previous two fiscal
years and the lower effective tax rate in fiscal 1999 results from the reduced
amount of remaining carryback available to the Company compared to fiscal 1998.
The remaining carryback available to the Company is approximately $75,000, which
will be recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including
the progress of the Company's clinical research and product development
programs, the timing and receipt of regulatory clearances and approvals, and the
resources the Company devotes to developing, manufacturing and marketing its
products. The Company's capital requirements also depend on the resources
required to expand and develop a direct sales force in the United States and to
expand the Company's manufacturing capacity, and the extent to which the
Company's products gain market acceptance and sales. The timing and amount of
such capital requirements cannot be predicted accurately. The Company is
currently seeking additional financing. Consequently, although the Company
believes its existing cash balances
12
<PAGE>
together with operating revenues, additional tax refunds and funds available as
a result of a financing arrangement with Transamerica Business Credit
Corporation in May 1999 (see below) will provide adequate funding to meet the
Company's liquidity requirements for the remainder of the current calendar year,
there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on terms
favorable to the Company, or at all. In the event the Company is unable to
generate sufficient cash flows from operations or to secure additional sources
of capital, its ability to continue as a going concern may be impaired. Any
additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders and debt financing,
if available, may involve restrictive covenants and may also be dilutive to
stockholders.
During the first nine-months of fiscal 1999, cash used by operations was
$2,043,000 principally due to the $4,891,000 net loss for the period, partially
offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $2,848,000. Cash used
in investing activities during the first nine-months of fiscal 1999 of $12,000
consisted of purchases of equipment. Cash received from financing activities
consisted of $1,000,000 from the issuance of long-term debt (see below). Cash
flows used in financing activities consisted of $21,000 in scheduled payments
made on long-term debt.
The Company had no material capital or other commitments as of July 3,
1999.
As of May 7, 1999, the Company signed an agreement with TBCC to provide up
to $2,500,000 in senior secured financing. Key components of the agreement are
as follows:
TBCC is providing the Company with a Revolving Credit Facility under which
the Company may from time to time borrow an aggregate amount not to exceed the
lesser of $1,000,000 or an amount equal to 85% of the amount of the Company's
eligible accounts receivable as defined in the agreement (the "Revolving Loan").
In addition to the Revolving Loan, TBCC is providing the Company with a Senior
Term Loan not to exceed $1,500,000 (the "Term Loan"). The Term Loan was made in
an initial disbursement in the amount of $1,000,000 on May 7, 1999; with an
additional disbursement of $500,000 to be made upon the closing of an equity
issuance by the Company generating net proceeds of not less than $2,000,000. All
borrowings under the TBCC agreement are collaterized by all of the assets of the
Company.
The term of the Revolving Loan is one year from the date of the agreement
and may be renewed upon the agreement of both parties. The interest rate on the
Revolving Loan will be the Base Rate (defined below) plus 3.0% per annum,
provided that the interest rate in effect in each month will not be less than
9.0% per annum, and provided that the interest charged for each month in respect
of the Revolving Credit Facility shall be a minimum of $3,000, regardless of the
amount of the obligations outstanding. Base Rate means the highest prime, base
or equivalent rate of interest announced from time to time by Citibank, N.A.
(which may not be the lowest rate of interest charged by such bank).
The term of each disbursement of the Term Loan is for 30 months after the
date of such disbursement and the interest on the Term Loan accrues at a rate
not less than 13.5% per annum. In connection with the loan-term borrowings under
the TBCC agreement, the Company may be subject to market risks resulting from
charges in the variable interest rate as provided in the agreement. At July 3,
1999, the fair value of the borrowings outstanding under the term loan
approximates its carrying value.

Concurrent with the above transaction, the Company provided TBCC with a
seven-year warrant to purchase 92,308 shares of common stock at an initial
exercise price of $1.625 per share, subject to adjustment. The warrant is
currently exercisable.
Year 2000 Compliance: Modification of Management Information Systems
Currently, many computer systems and software products are coded to accept
only two digit entries in the date code field. These date code fields will need
to accept four digit entries to distinguish 21st century dates from 20th century
dates. As a result, many companies' software and computer systems may need to be
upgraded or replaced in order to comply with such Year 2000 requirements,
especially those with internally developed systems.
The Company and third parties, with which the Company does business, rely
on numerous computer programs in their day-to-day operations. The Company's Year
2000 project is divided into the following major sections: infrastructure and
applications software, commonly referred to as "IT Systems", third party
suppliers and customers, commonly referred to as "External Agents", process
control and instrumentation and Company products.
IT Systems. The Company has completed its assessment of Year 2000 issues
as they relate to the Company's IT systems. This analysis included such
activities as order taking, billing, purchasing/accounts payable, general
ledger/financial, and inventory. Systems critical to the Company's business are
commercial packages available from third party vendors and currently in use with
little modification. According to information provided by the suppliers of these
products, the versions of these systems in use are believed to be Year 2000
compliant in storage, calculation, and function. The Company has upgraded these
systems where necessary and believes that all mission critical software is now
Year 2000 compliant, based upon representation from the vendors. The Company has
used both internal and external resources to test the versions of the software
believed to be Year 2000 compliant and has found no discrepancy. The Company is
executing a plan to resolve the remaining software and hardware issues. The Year
2000 analysis and upgrading of existing systems are being performed as a part of
the Company's routine maintenance of computer systems and are not anticipated to
be material to the Company's financial results.
External Agents. The Company has sent questionnaires and letters of
inquiry to the External Agents to assist the Company in assessing the Year 2000
readiness of its External Agents and evaluate the scope of the Company's
exposure. To date, the Company is not aware of any External Agent with a Year
2000 issue that would materially impact the Company's results of operations,
liquidity or capital resources. However, the Company has no means of ensuring
that External Agents will be Year 2000 ready. The inability of External Agents
to complete their Year 2000 resolution process in a timely fashion could
materially impact the Company. The effect of non-compliance by External Agents
is not determinable.
Process Control and Instrumentation. All other items with potential Year
2000 issues continue to be inventoried and evaluated by the Company. These
include such items as telephone systems, security systems, HVAC, copiers, FAX
machines, production equipment, tools and other process systems. The Company
anticipates that the assessment phase of this part of the project will be
14
<PAGE>
completed in the third calendar quarter. To date, the Company has not discovered
any year 2000 issues with any of these items. Although the Company is in the
early phases of this portion of the Year 2000 project, based upon a preliminary
review the Company does not anticipate costs related to this portion of the
project to be material to the financial results of the Company.
Company Products. In addition, BEI Medical has reviewed the Year 2000
issue as it relates to the electronic products manufactured for sale by the
Company. The Company believes that none of its products are date sensitive or
will require modification to become Year 2000 compliant. Accordingly, the
Company does not believe the Year 2000 issue presents a material exposure as it
relates to the Company's products.
The Company currently believes that it has an effective program in place
to resolve the Year 2000 issues in a timely manner, however the Company has not
yet completed all necessary phases of the Year 2000 project. In the event that
the Company does not complete any additional phases, the Company would be unable
to efficiently take customer orders, manufacture and ship products, invoice
customers or collect payments. In addition, disruptions in the economy generally
resulting from Year 2000 issues could materially adversely affect the Company.
The Company currently believes it does not need a year 2000 contingency
plan. All of the Company's major systems have been upgraded or determined to be
compliant. Any remaining Year 2000 compliance issues should be minor and will be
dealt with as they are identified. The Company will continue to monitor
and evaluate the potential impact of the Year 2000 issue and adjust the plans
accordingly.
Effects of Inflation.
Management believes that, for the periods presented, inflation has not had
a material effect on the Company's operations.
