NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
BEI Medical Systems Company, Inc. and Subsidiaries
(Unaudited)

January 1, 2000

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 September 30, 2000. 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 2, 1999.

      The Asset Sale: On December 8, 1999, BEI completed the sale of a
substantial portion of the assets of the Company to CooperSurgical Acquisition
Corp., a Delaware corporation ("CSAC"), for approximately $10.5 million in cash,
subject to post-closing adjustments, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement,
dated as of October 1, 1999, between the Company and CSAC, as amended (the
"Asset Purchase Agreement") (the "Asset Sale"). The assets sold constitute a
business of developing, manufacturing, marketing and servicing a broad array of
advanced systems and devices for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in the
medical fields of gynecology and gastroenterology (the "Base Business").
Following the Asset Sale, the Company is focusing exclusively on developing a
new therapeutic system, the Hydro ThermAblator(R) (the "HTA(R)") for treatment
of excessive uterine bleeding.

      The cash consideration received at the closing of the Asset Sale was
$10,538,000, subject to certain net post-closing adjustments estimated to be
approximately $374,000 payable by the Company to CSAC reflecting lower than
estimated amounts of accounts receivable and inventory as of the closing date.
The consideration received by the Company also included the assumption of
$331,000 of specified liabilities, the assumption of liabilities under certain
contracts of the Company, and the forgiveness of royalty payments that may in
the future have been owed by the Company to an affiliate of CSAC in an amount of
up to $100,000. In addition, as a condition to the consummation of the Asset
Sale, the Company entered into a noncompetition agreement with and for the
benefit of CSAC for a period of five years.

      The Company recorded a net gain on the sale of the Base Business of
approximately $1,913,000 from the Asset Sale. The key components of the gain are
as follows:

weighted average shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted loss per
share are the same. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the loss per
share for the three months ended January 2, 1999, because the effect would be
anti-dilutive.

Note 4
Notes Payable

      The Company signed an agreement, effective as of May 7, 1999, with
Transamerica Business Credit Corporation ("TBCC") to provide senior secured
financing. TBCC provided the Company with a revolving credit facility under
which the Company could 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 provided the Company
with a ("Term Loan") in the amount of $1,000,000 on May 7, 1999 bearing interest
at a rate of 14.14%. On November 1, 1999, the Company borrowed $500,000 under
the Revolving Loan. All borrowings under the TBCC agreement were collateralized
by all of the assets of the Company.

      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

      As a result of the Asset Sale, both the Term Loan and the Revolving Loan
were repaid in full on December 8, 1999 and all of the related agreements were
terminated. Cancellation fees aggregating $85,000 were incurred in connection
with such termination. Such fees, as well as the unamortized portion of the
deferred financing fees for the debt of $45,000, have been reflected as an
extraordinary loss in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of
operations.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

      Except for the historical information contained herein, the following
discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those
discussed here. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences
include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this section, and those
discussed in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended October 2, 1999.

      The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and
results of operations reflect historical results both prior to and subsequent to
the Asset Sale. The Asset Sale has had a significant impact upon the financial
condition and results of operations of the Company, as both revenues and revenue
generating assets have been significantly reduced (see Note 1 to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements). The Company's product focus has become
narrowed and dependent upon the successful completion of the FDA Phase III
clinical trials involving the HTA and commercialization of the HTA technology.
The cash proceeds of the Asset Sale have been and will be utilized by BEI: (i)
to pay expenses associated with the Asset Sale in the approximate amount of
$1,293,000; (ii) to repay the amounts outstanding to TBCC including interest and
cancellation fees; (iii) as working capital to finance completion of the FDA
Phase III clinical trials and initiate commercialization of the HTA product in
the United States; and (iv) to fund BEI's ongoing operating expenses.

      The following table sets forth, for the fiscal periods indicated, the
percentage of revenues represented by certain items in the Company's Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations.

================================================================================

Three Months Ended January 1, 2000 and January 2, 1999

      Revenues for the three months ended January 1, 2000, were $1,234,000 a
decrease of $930,000 from the comparable three month period of fiscal 1999. The
lower revenue reflects the impact of the Asset Sale on December 8, 1999.
Approximately 95.9% of the Company's revenues for the quarter ended January 1,
2000 were derived from products that were included in the Base Business sold to
CSAC. As a result, the first quarter of fiscal year 2000 included revenues from
the Base Business for approximately nine weeks compared to thirteen weeks in the
comparable quarter of fiscal year 1999. International revenues from shipments to
distributors of the Company's Hydro ThermAblator ("HTA") system for endometrial
ablation declined to $50,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 from $81,000 in
the comparable quarter of fiscal 1999.

      Gross profit as a percentage of revenues declined to 33.2% in the first
quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to 39.6% for the comparable quarter in fiscal
1999. The decline reflects the impact of the Asset Sale and the lower revenue,
resulting in reduced absorption of fixed manufacturing overhead expenditures.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses declined $563,000 to
$1,254,000 or 101.6% of revenues for the three months ended January 1, 2000
compared to $1,817,000 or 84.0% of revenues for the comparable period in fiscal
1999. The decline in expenses reflects lower sales and marketing costs
($515,000) resulting from the Asset Sale and the resulting reduction in revenues
from the Base Business, lower administrative expenses ($107,000) and lower
amortization of intangible assets ($79,000). These decreases were partially
offset by the write down of certain fixed assets and accounts receivable to
estimated carrying value following the Asset Sale ($139,000). The increase in
the selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue for
the first quarter of fiscal year 2000 compared to the first quarter of fiscal
year 1999 reflects the impact of the Asset Sale and the lower revenue on the
fixed portion of selling, general and administrative expenditures.

      Research, development and related expenses were $418,000 or 33.9% of
revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to $726,000 or 33.5% for
the same period of fiscal 1999. The reduced spending resulted from the
completion of the patient treatment portion of the HTA Phase III clinical trials
in the United States in early August 1999, so the rate of spending required to
support the clinical trials in fiscal 2000 has declined from the levels that
were required during the patient treatment phase in fiscal 1999.

      The gain on asset sale reflects the closing of the Asset Sale on December
8, 1999. The Company is now focusing exclusively on developing its new
therapeutic system, the Hydro ThermAblator, for treatment of excessive uterine
bleeding. The cash consideration received at the closing of the Asset Sale was
approximately $10,538,000, subject to certain net post-closing adjustments
estimated to be approximately $374,000 payable by the Company to CSAC reflecting
lower than estimated amounts of accounts receivable and inventory as of the
closing date. The consideration received by the Company also included the
assumption of $331,000 of specified liabilities, the assumption of liabilities
under certain


                                    --------
                                       13
<PAGE>

contracts of the Company, and the forgiveness of royalty payments that may in
the future have been owed by the Company to an affiliate of CSAC in an amount of
up to $100,000. In addition, as a condition to the consummation of the Asset
Sale, the Company entered into a noncompetition agreement with CSAC for a period
of five years. See Note 1 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for
further information on the Asset Sale.

      Interest income increased to $42,000 in the three month period ended
January 1, 2000 compared to $30,000 in the three month period ended January 2,
1999, as a result of higher average cash balances on hand during the quarter
that reflected the investment of cash received from the Asset Sale.

      Interest expense increased to $50,000 or 4.1% in the first quarter of
fiscal 2000 compared to $4,000 or 0.2% for the comparable quarter of fiscal 1999
as a result of the borrowings under the term note and related credit facility
with TBCC, which the Company repaid in full on December 8, 1999, utilizing a
portion of the proceeds of the Asset Sale.

      The Company recognized no income tax benefit for the three month period
ended January 1, 2000 compared to $134,000 recognized in the comparable quarter
of fiscal 1999. The income tax benefit in fiscal 1999 reflected the Company's
ability to carryback 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 was limited to the taxes paid on earnings of the
previous two fiscal years.

      There is no remaining carryback available to the Company after fiscal year
1999. The net operating losses from fiscal year 1999 and the first quarter of
fiscal 2000 that cannot be carried back against prior years' earnings are
approximately $4.8 million. The Company projects losses to continue in fiscal
year 2000. These losses remain available to the Company on a carryforward basis
to offset any future earnings, but they have been fully offset by a valuation
allowance in the financial statements, as their future realization is uncertain.

      The extraordinary loss on extinguishment of debt reflects that as a result
of the Asset Sale, both the Term Loan and the Revolving Loan with TBCC were
repaid in full on December 8, 1999 (see Note 3 to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements). Cancellation fees aggregating $85,000 were incurred in
connection with such termination. Such fees, as well as the unamortized portion
of the deferred financing fees for the debt of $45,000, have been reflected as
an extraordinary loss in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of
operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The Company's capital requirements to complete the development and
commercialization of the HTA depend on numerous factors including the timing and
receipt of regulatory clearances and approvals, the resources required to
initiate commercialization of the HTA in the United States and the extent the
HTA gains market acceptance and sales. The timing and amount of such capital
requirements cannot be predicted accurately. Consequently, although the Company
believes that the net proceeds from the Asset Sale plus existing cash balances
will provide adequate funding to meet the Company's capital requirements for the
next eighteen months, there can be no assurance that the Company will not
require


                                    --------

additional financing or that such additional financing, if needed, will be
available on terms attractive to the Company, or at all. Any additional equity
financing may be dilutive to stockholders and debt financing, if available, may
involve restrictive covenants. During first quarter of fiscal year 2000, cash
used by operations was $1,855,000 due to the gain on the Asset Sale and the
resulting net income for the period of $513,000, non cash charges of $202,000
and decreases in working capital of $1,140,000.

      Cash provided by investing activities during the first quarter of fiscal
2000 was $6,958,000 of proceeds from the Asset Sale.

      Cash provided by financing activities consisted of $500,000 from the
Revolving Loan on November 1, 1999. Cash used in financing activities consisted
of $1,500,000 to repay both the Revolving Loan and Term loan.

      TBCC provided the Company with the Revolving Loan under which the Company
could 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. In addition to the Revolving Loan, TBCC provided the
Company with a Term Loan in the amount of $1,000,000 bearing interest at a rate
of 14.14%. On November 1, 1999, the Company borrowed $500,000 under the
Revolving Loan. All borrowings under the TBCC agreement were collateralized by
all of the assets of the Company. As a result of the Asset Sale, both the Term
Loan and the Revolving Loan were repaid in full on December 8, 1999 and all of
the related agreements were terminated. For further information, see Note 3 to
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

      The Company had no material capital or other commitments as of January 1,
2000.

Year 2000 Compliance: Modification of Management Information Systems

      Due to concerns over the impact of the Year 2000 on computerized products
and software, the Company conducted a project to determine its level of Year
2000 compliance and to upgrade systems as necessary. 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 was 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 completed its assessment of Year 2000 compliance
in fiscal year 1999. This analysis included such activities as order taking,
billing, purchasing/accounts payable, general ledger/financial, and inventory.
Extensive review of the Company's IT Systems resulted in some upgrading of
systems. This effort has been successfully concluded. The Company is currently
operating in calendar year 2000 and fiscal year 2000 and has not experienced any
date-related problems.

      External Agents: The Company polled its External Agents to assess their
Year 2000 readiness and evaluate the scope of the Company's exposure. Based upon
the responses received, the Company is not aware of any External Agent with a
Year 2000 issue that would materially impact the Company's business.


                                    --------
                                       15
<PAGE>

      Process Control and Instrumentation: This category includes such items as
telephone systems, security systems, HVAC, copiers, FAX machines, production
equipment, tools and other process systems. The Company has found no Year 2000
related issues and there has been no disruption in this area.

      Company Products. The Company believes that none of its products are date
sensitive or required modification to be Year 2000 compliant.

      Conclusion: The Company currently believes that it has effectively
identified and resolved all Year 2000 related issues. As noted above, the
Company is currently operating in calendar year 2000 and fiscal year 2000 and
has not experienced any date-related problems. However, if all of the Company's
potential Year 2000 problems were not properly identified or if adequate
assessment and realization are not timely effected with respect to Year 2000
problems, the Company's business could be harmed. Moreover, any Year 2000
problems facing the External Agents could also harm the Company's business.

Effects of Inflation

      Management believes that, for the periods presented, inflation has not had
a material effect on the Company's operations.
