                          SURGICAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                     NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                         (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1
           The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented 
herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the instructions to 
Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures 
required by generally accepted accounting principles.  These condensed 
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1995.  The accompanying
financial statements have not been examined by independent accountants in 
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, but in the opinion of 
management such financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only
of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company's
financial position and results of operations.  The results of operations for the
three and six months ended September 30, 1995, may not be indicative of the 
results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 1996.

NOTE 2

           On September 1, 1995 the revolving bank loan was renewed for a 
maximum of $500,000 at an interest rate of 8.25% and expires on September 1, 
1996.  The revolving bank loan is secured by a money market account in the 
amount of $500,000.  At September 30, 1995 the Company had not yet drawn upon
the revolving bank loan.

NOTE 3

           On September 15, 1995 the Board of Directors made the determination
that it is in the best interest of the Company to discontinue the medical and 
specialty metal fabrication divisions.  As part of this decision,the Board 
approved the sale of Rex Industries, Inc., is pursuing the disposal of the 
medical division and has begun the analysis of other business opportunities for
the Company to pursue.

           The Board has approved an agreement between Rex Industries 
Acquisition Corporation (owned by Todd B. Crosland, an officer and director of
the Company) whereby the Company will sell essentially all of the assets used by
Rex Industries, Inc. in the specialty metal fabrication business for 
$3,600,000 ($3,500,000 in cash and the assumption of specified liabilities).

           Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion 30 states that when an 
enterprise disposes of a significant segment of its business, the results of 
discontinued operations should be disclosed separately after income from 
continuing operations.  The APB Opinion is not applicable to this situation 
because it is anticipated that all current operations will be discontinued.

                    ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                     FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                                                       
General -     This discussion should be read in conjunction with Management's 
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1995.

Results of Operations -     During the three and six months ended September 30, 
1995, revenues decreased approximately 18% and 10%, respectively, from the 
corresponding periods during the preceding year.  The decrease is primarily the
result of the medical division revenues decreasing 9% and 3% respectively over 
the prior year three and six month periods, while the specialty metal 
fabrication division decreased revenues 21% and 15% for these two periods.  The 
specialty metal fabrication decrease is primarily the result of the completion 
of a major job for a customer early in fiscal year 1995.  The cost of revenues
decreased 5% for the three month period compared to the three months ended 
September 30, 1994, however the cost of revenues for the six month period 
increased 5% compared to the six months ended September 30, 1994.  In spite of
this minor variance, the gross margins the Company is expected to obtain for the
entire year should remain relatively constant.

           In the second quarter of fiscal year 1996 the medical division 
provided 42% of total revenues of the Company compared to 39% of total revenues
in the second quarter of fiscal 1995.

           Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $147,000 
during the second quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to the second quarter of the
prior fiscal year and decreased $341,000 for the six month period ended 
September 30, 1995 compared to the six months ended September 30, 1994.  The 
decrease in administrative expenses is in part the result of cost cutting 
measures implemented during the later part of the prior year.  Approximately 
25% of the decreased expense was the result of the elimination of duplicate
facilities.  In addition to the cost cutting measures implemented, amortization
expense was reduced by $36,000 due to the write-off of goodwill in the forth 
quarter of the prior year.

           The net income during the six months ended September 30, 1995 
included a gain of $60,000 from the sale of surplus land (which is the 
majority of the $98,000 net other income).  The reduction of the net loss
also reflects decreased interest expense and increase in interest income due to 
the reduction of debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources -     During the first six months of fiscal year
1996 the Company's liquidity and capital increased primarily due to the sale of 
surplus land and the collections on notes receivable.  Current assets increased 
$86,000 while current liabilities decreased $1,075,000 for a net increase in 
working capital of $1,162,000.

           Operating activities used $623,000 in cash during the six months 
ended September 30, 1995, compared to such activities using $1,034,000 during
the corresponding period in the prior year.  During the six months ended 
September 30, 1995, the majority of the changes in the use of operating cash 
was the result of the Company increasing inventory by $215,000, and decreasing 
accrued expenses $259,000 and accounts payable $211,000.

           Investing activities provided net cash of $1,702,000 primarily from 
the collection of notes receivable.  Financing activities used net cash of 
$594,000 primarily from the pay-off of the revolving bank line loan.

           As noted, the board of directors has determined that it is in the 
best interests of the Company to discontinue its medical products and specialty 
metal fabrication divisions and has approved the sale of the specialty metal 
fabrication division to a related party for $3,600,000 ($3,500,000 in cash and 
the assumptionof specific liabilities).  The Company anticipates that the sale 
of the specialty metal fabrication division willbe completed by the end of 1995.
There is no pending agreement for the disposition of the medical products 
division, although discussions are ongoing respecting the sale of certain 
components of the medical division.  Although the Company does not anticipate 
losses from the disposition of the current operations, there can be no 
assurance that all or any of these dispositions can be completed timely on terms
favorable to the Company, that such dispositions will not result in the 
recognition of losses, or that the consideration received will consist of 
sufficient cash or other liquid assets to enable the Company to acquire other 
operations or assets.  The impact on the Company's financial statements of any 
disposition of any of its assets and operations will depend on the terms of the 
individual transactions, the allocation of the sales price among the various
assets sold, the nature and value of the consideration received, and other 
factors.

           If the Company successfully completes the sale of its current 
operations for cash or assets readily convertible into cash, the Company 
intends to seek an acquisition of a larger and potentially more profitable
business.  The Company intends to focus on opportunities to acquire new products
or technologies in development as well as those currently being operated, 
including complete operating business, either within or outside the medical 
products industry, that have demonstrated long-term growth potential, strong 
marketing presence, and the basis for continuing profitability.  The Company has
not identified any specific target or possible acquisition.  As the Company 
pursues its acquisition program, it will incur costs for ongoing general
and administrative expenses as well as for identifying, investigating, and 
negotiating a possible acquisition.

           In order to complete any acquisition, the Company may be required to 
supplement its available cash and other liquid assets with proceeds from 
borrowings, the sale of additional securities, or other sources.  There can be 
no assurance that any such required additional funding will be available or, if 
available, that it can be obtained on terms favorable to the Company.
