3.   Net income (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of
     shares of common stock outstanding.

4.   The Company invests its excess cash in high-quality debt instruments.  The
     Company considers cash equivalents to be financial instruments that are
     readily convertible to cash,  subject to no more than insignificant
     interest rate risk and that have original maturities of three months or
     less.  Short-term investments consist of financial instruments with less
     than one year to maturity.

     At June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 the Company's cash equivalents were
     in the form of institutional money market accounts and totaled $2.67
     million and $3.02 million, respectively.  At June 30, 1995 and December 31,
     1994 the Company's investment in short-term securities stated at amortized
     cost, which approximates their fair value, consisted of corporate debt
     securities of $1.00 million and $2.00 million, respectively.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Part I -- Item 1
of this Quarterly Report and the audited financial statements and notes thereto
and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations for the year ended December 31, 1994 contained in the Company's
annual report.

Net revenues for the quarter and six months ended June 1995 were $6.88 million
and $16.09 million, respectively.  Compared to the corresponding quarter and six
months of 1994, these revenues decreased approximately 16% and 7%, respectively.
These decreases were due to lower shipments of the Company's KTP/YAG Surgical
Laser Systems, disposable supplies and instrumentation.

Revenues from the sales of disposable supplies, instrumentation and service
comprised approximately 76% of net revenues during the quarter ended June 30,
1995 compared to approximately 71% of net revenues for the same quarter in 1994
due principally to lower shipments of  the Company's KTP/YAG Surgical Laser
Systems.  During the six month period ended June 30, 1995 and the corresponding
period in 1994, sales of disposable supplies, instrumentation and service
comprised approximately 70% of  net revenues.

The Company believes that continuing pressure to reduce health care costs in the
United States has been and continues to be a factor which negatively impacts
capital equipment procurement by its customers.  The Company also believes that
its net revenues during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995 were
negatively impacted by lower shipments of  its side-firing devices due, in part,
to the introduction of a competitive surgical device for prostate surgery.

The Company believes that acceptance of lasers in urology, ear, nose and throat
surgery,  aesthetic surgery and dermatology will continue to be important to its
business.  In particular, the Company anticipates that the use of the laser in
urologic procedures will be a significant factor that will affect the Company's
business during 1995 and beyond.  The Company continues to invest in developing
new products for emerging surgical applications and to educate surgeons in the
United States and internationally to encourage the adoption of such new
applications. Finally, penetration of the international market has been limited
and the Company continues to view this as a significant opportunity.

Gross margin as a percentage of net revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1995
was 55.3% compared to 52.2% for the corresponding quarter in 1994.  For the six
months ended June 30, 1995 gross margin as a percentage of net revenues was
relatively unchanged at 53.6% compared to 54.0% in the corresponding period in
1994. The increase during the second quarter of 1995 relative to the second
quarter of 1994 was due in part to higher production volumes of its products.
Additionally, the Company recorded a $0.17 million charge in the quarter ended
June 30, 1994 relating to the disposition of electrosurgery equipment which
negatively impacted gross margin as a percentage of net sales by 2 percentage
points during this period.  The Company expects that gross margin as a


                                        7

<PAGE>

percentage of net revenues for the remainder of 1995 may vary from quarter to
quarter as it continues to balance production volumes and inventory levels with
product demand.

Research and development expenses, which are the result of activities related to
the development of new laser, instrumentation and disposable products and the
enhancement of the Company's existing products, increased by approximately 12%
in the second quarter of 1995 compared to the same quarter of 1994, and
increased by 5% in the first six months of 1995 compared to the first six months
of 1994.  These increases are primarily attributable to spending for the
development of the Company's new Aura-TM- desktop laser system which is being
designed to facilitate surgical and dermatological procedures in an office or
outpatient center and is scheduled to be available for sale early during the
fourth quarter of 1995.  As a percentage of net revenues, research and
development expenses were 16% and 13% in the quarter and six months ended June
30, 1995, respectively, compared with 12% and 11% in the corresponding periods
of 1994.  These percentage increases relative to the prior year reflect both
increased spending and decreased net revenues. The Company expects to continue
to make significant investments in research and development during the balance
of 1995 and beyond.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 1995 decreased by approximately 26% and 17%, respectively,
compared to the same periods in 1994.  The decrease in spending was due in part
to lower direct selling expenses resulting from lower system sales as well as
expense reduction measures put in place by the Company since June 30, 1994.
Additionally, the Company recorded charges totaling approximately $0.30 million
relating to the reduction of its capital equipment sales force and supporting
personnel in the quarter ended June 30, 1994.    As a percentage of revenues,
selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to remain at
relatively high levels during 1995 since the Company expects to continue to
invest significant amounts in international expansion, marketing programs and
educational support.

During the six months ended June 30, 1995 and June 30, 1994 the Company recorded
no income tax provision due to the net losses generated by its operations.

The Company anticipates that many of the market conditions which affected its
performance during the first half of 1995 may continue to have an impact on
sales trends for the next several quarters.  In particular, the timing of orders
and shipments affects quarterly results and there can be no certainty that
revenue growth or profitability can be accomplished on a quarter by quarter
basis, or otherwise.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

Total assets and liabilities as of June 30, 1995 were $26.91 million and $6.62
million respectively, compared to assets and liabilities of $27.32 million and
$6.42 million at December 31, 1994.  Working capital decreased $1.82 million
from $16.82 million at December 31, 1994 to $15.00 million at June 30, 1995
while cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments decreased $1.38 million
during the period.  The net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and short term
investments was principally due to $1.67 million disbursed in connection with
the Company's relationship with NWL together with a $1.95 million increase in
inventories primarily due to procurement in preparation for the Company's
introduction of its Aura system and, to a significantly lesser extent, finished
goods inventory growth due to lower shipments.  These uses of cash were
partially offset by a $2.38 reduction in accounts receivable. The Company
anticipates that future changes in cash and working capital will be dependent on
the levels of its business.

At June 30, 1995 the Company had no material commitments for capital
expenditures.

At June 30, 1995, cash, cash equivalents and short term investments amounted to
approximately $5.22 million.  The Company is in the process of negotiating a
renewal of the $5.00 million revolving bank line of credit which expired July
1995 and under which no borrowings were outstanding at June 30, 1995.  The
Company anticipates that current cash resources, internally generated funds,
capital leases and bank borrowings will be sufficient to meet anticipated
operating needs at least for the next twelve months.

The Company's need for capital is principally affected by the current and
anticipated demand for its products as well as procurement and production lead
times in its manufacturing operations.  Changes in these factors can have a
significant impact on capital requirements.  From time to time, the Company may
also consider the acquisition of, or evaluate investments in, certain products
and businesses complementary to the Company's business.  Any such acquisition or
investment may require additional capital resources.
