                        HOLOGIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

(1)	Basis of Presentation

	The consolidated financial statements of Hologic, Inc. (the Company) 
presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities 
and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include 
all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted 
accounting principles.  These statements should be read in conjunction with 
the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended 
September 30, 1995, included in the Company's Form 10-K as filed with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission on December 26, 1995.

	The consolidated balance sheet as of June 29, 1996, the consolidated 
statements of income for the three and nine months ended June 29, 1996 and 
June 24, 1995, the consolidated statement of stockholders' equity for the nine 
months ended June 29, 1996 and, the consolidated statements of cash flows for 
the nine months ended June 29, 1996  and June 24, 1995, are unaudited but, in 
the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal, 
recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of results for these 
interim periods.

	The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 29, 
1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the 
entire fiscal year ending September 28, 1996.

(2)	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

	The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the 
application of certain accounting policies described in this and other notes 
to the consolidated financial statements.

	(a)  Inventories:  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-
in, first-out) or market and consist of the following:

                                              	June 29,	      September 30,
                                                	1996	             1995
		                                           ----------       -------------
Raw materials and work-in-process........  		$6,605,724        	$4,030,275
Finished goods...........................     3,030,525         	2,886,725
                                             ----------        -----------
                                             $9,636,249         $6,917,000


	Work-in-process and finished goods inventories consist of material, 
labor and manufacturing overhead.


	(b)  Foreign Currency Translation:

	Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are 
translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the end of the 
period, and revenues and expenses are translated at the weighted average 
exchange rate in effect during the period.  Gains and losses from foreign 
currency translation are included in the stockholders' equity section under 
cumulative translation adjustment.  Foreign currency transaction gains and 
losses arising primarily from settlement of sales transactions with the 
Company's foreign subsidiaries are included in results of operations.  A 
transaction loss of $21,683 and $67,380 for the three and nine months ended 
June 29, 1996, respectively, and transaction losses of $26,422 and $93,595 for 
the three and nine months ended June 24, 1995, respectively, are included in 
other expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

(3)	Line of Credit

	The Company has an international line of credit with a bank for the 
equivalent of $3,000,000, which bears interest at PIBOR plus 2.25%.  The 
borrowings under this line are denominated in the local currency of its 
European subsidiaries and are primarily used by these subsidiaries to settle 
intercompany sales.  

 (4)	Significant Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk

	In the nine months ended June 29, 1996 and  June 24, 1995, the Company 
had one customer who comprised 15% and 25% of product sales, respectively.  
This customer had amounts due to the Company of approximately $1,950,000 at 
June 29, 1996, all of which were within the payment terms of the sales.

(5)	Patent Litigation

	The Company incurred litigation expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 
1996 and in fiscal 1995 relating primarily to a patent dispute with Lunar 
Corporation  ("Lunar") and, to a lesser extent, a separate patent dispute with 
B.V. Optische Industrie de Oude Delft ("Oldelft"). In November 1995, a 
definitive settlement agreement was reached between the Company and Lunar 
settling all outstanding disputes relating to x-ray and ultrasound technology. 
The complaint brought by Oldelft against the Company was dismissed in December 
1995.  In January 1996, Oldelft filed a motion for reconsideration of the 
dismissal and amended its complaint.  In April 1996, the Court denied Oldelft 
its motion for reconsideration of the dismissal and in May 1996 Hologic and 
Oldelft settled this matter.

(6)	Stockholders' Equity

	On January 26, 1996, the Company completed a secondary public offering 
of an additional 2,492,000 shares (post split) of the Company's Common Stock 
at a price of $19.90 per share which resulted in net proceeds (after deducting 
issuance costs) of approximately $49,200,000.

	On February 25, 1996, the stockholders' of the Company approved an 
amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number 
of shares of Common Stock authorized from 10,000,000 to 30,000,000.  On March 
25, 1996, the Company effected a two-for-one stock split in the form of a 
stock dividend.  All share and per share data in the accompanying consolidated 
financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect the stock 
split.

(7)	Merger with FluoroScan Imaging Systems, Inc.

	 On July 18, 1996, Hologic signed a definitive agreement to merge with 
FluoroScan Imaging Systems, Inc. ("FluoroScan").   The transaction is intended 
to be carried out by the merger of FluoroScan and a wholly-owned subsidiary of 
Hologic in a tax-free stock transaction, accounted for as a pooling of 
interests.  The completion of this transaction is subject to approval by 
FluoroScan's stockholders, completion of certain due diligence items and 
regulatory approvals.  FluoroScan's principal stockholders have provided the 
Company with a proxy to vote in favor of this merger.

	Upon consummation of the merger, Hologic will issue approximately 1.5 
million shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding 
shares of FluoroScan's common stock, stock warrants and stock options to 
underwriters.  In addition, Hologic has reserved approximately 300,000 
additional shares of its common stock for issuance to holders of FluoroScan 
options.  Hologic and FluoroScan estimate that they will incur direct 
transaction costs of approximately $1.8 million associated with the merger.  
These transaction costs will be expensed in the period incurred.




                   PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued)
                                                                          
Item 2.		Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
		Condition and Results of Operations

HOLOGIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Results of Operations

	The Company's results of operations have and may continue to be subject 
to significant quarterly variation.  The results for a particular quarter may 
vary due to a number of factors, including the overall state of health care 
and cost containment efforts, the development status and demand for drug 
therapies to treat osteoporosis, economic conditions in the Company's markets, 
the timing of orders, the timing of expenditures in anticipation of future 
sales, the mix of products sold by the Company, the introduction of new 
products and product enhancements by the Company or its competitors and 
pricing  and other competitive conditions.

	Revenues.  Total revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 increased 
102% to $22,829,028 from $11,301,320 for the third quarter of fiscal 1995.  
Total revenues for the current nine month period increased 85% to $56,349,729 
from $30,531,294 for the first nine  months of fiscal 1995.  This increase was 
primarily due to the increase in the total number of DXA bone densitometer 
product shipments in both the Company's domestic and international markets, 
particularly in the United States where product sales for the first nine 
months of the year increased approximately 420% over the prior year.  There 
was also a shift in product sales mix to the Company's new line of bone 
densitometers, the ACCLAIM [trademark] series, which the Company began 
shipping in January 1995.  The new ACCLAIM products have higher average 
selling prices than the comparable DXA bone densitometers which they replace.  
For the current quarter, sales of the ACCLAIM product accounted for over 87% 
of product sales.  Other revenues also increased for the current three and 
nine month periods due to increases in revenue relating to medical data 
management services provided to pharmaceutical companies to assist in the 
collection and monitoring of clinical trial data.

	Total revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 increased 22% from 
$18,757,068 in the immediately preceding quarter primarily due to an increase 
in the number of DXA systems sold in the United States.

	In the first nine months of fiscal 1996, approximately 51% of product 
sales were generated in the United States, 22% in Europe, 21% in Asia, and 6% 
in other international markets.  In the first nine months of fiscal 1995, 
approximately 19% of product sales were generated in the United States, 37% in 
Europe, 34% in Asia, and 10% in other international markets.

	The Company believes that the two major drivers of the growth in demand 
for its bone densitometers are (i) the availability of new and effective drug 
therapies to treat and prevent bone diseases, including osteoporosis, and (ii) 
the availability of reimbursement to healthcare providers for bone density 
measurements of patients.  On September 29, 1995, the FDA cleared for 
marketing Merck & Co., Inc.'s ("Merck") new bisphosphonate, Fosamax, for 
treatment of established osteoporosis in post-menopausal women.  The Health 
Care Finance Administration, the agency which administers Medicare, increased 
the recommended reimbursement rate for DXA tests to a national average of 
$124, effective January 1, 1995, from $68, the original recommended 
reimbursement rate which went into effect in April 1994.

	Costs and Expenses.    The cost of product sales decreased as a 
percentage of sales to 45% in the current quarter from 52% in the third 
quarter of 1995 and decreased to 46% of product sales in the first nine months 
of 1996 from 55% in the comparable nine month period of 1995. In the current 
quarter and nine months, these costs decreased as a percentage of product 
sales primarily due to increasing shipments of the Company's new family of DXA 
bone densitometers, the ACCLAIM series, a volume increase in the number of DXA 
systems sold resulting in certain manufacturing efficiencies, and an increase 
in sales by the Company's direct sales force (primarily in the United States) 
which results in higher selling prices.  The Company began selling the ACCLAIM 
product in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 and has recognized higher gross 
margins than on the older DXA product line from higher average selling prices 
and lower labor and overhead-related manufacturing costs.  

	Research and development expenses increased 77% to $1,796,229 (8% of 
total revenues) in the current quarter from $1,014,569 (9% of total revenues) 
in the third quarter of fiscal 1995.  For the current nine month period, 
research and development expenses increased 58% to $4,873,128 (9% of total 
revenues) from $3,091,135 (10% of total revenues) for the first nine months of 
1995.  The increase in research and development expenses in 1996 is  primarily 
due to the addition of engineering personnel and outside consultants working 
on the development of new products.  As a percentage of total revenues, 
research and development expenses declined in the current year, reflecting 
increased revenues in fiscal 1996.
	
	Selling and marketing expenses increased 63% to $3,444,622 (16% of 
product sales) in the current quarter from $2,112,318 (20% of product sales) 
in the third quarter of fiscal 1995.  For the current nine month period, 
selling and marketing expenses increased 63% to $9,202,748 (17% of product 
sales) from $5,646,786 (19% of product sales) for the first nine months of 
1995.  The increase in selling and marketing expenses in 1996 is primarily due 
to an increase in sales personnel and related expenses, marketing and 
promotional costs incurred in connection with the introduction of the ACCLAIM 
series and increased sales commissions based on the higher sales volume.  In 
addition, the Company incurred additional costs in connection with its 
strategic alliances for the development of new products and the distribution 
of products through new sales channels.

	General and administrative expenses increased 71% to $1,986,539 (9% of 
total revenues) in the current quarter from  $1,158,790 (10% of total 
revenues) in the third quarter of fiscal 1995.  During the first nine months 
of fiscal 1996, general and administrative expenses increased 64% to 
$5,237,090 (9% of total revenues) from $3,198,596 (10% of total revenues) in 
the first nine months of 1995.  The increase in general and administrative 
expenses in fiscal 1996 is primarily due to increased headcount and other 
compensation-related expenditures, and an increase in accounts receivable 
reserves, which reflects the increase in accounts receivable.

	Litigation expenses incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 and in 
fiscal 1995 were in connection with the Company's disputes with Lunar and 
Oldelft.  Legal expenses in connection with the patent litigation with Lunar 
began in October 1994 and represent a substantial portion of the total 
litigation expenses.  In November 1995, a definitive agreement that provides 
for the cross-licensing of certain patent rights and a non-assertion agreement 
for all patents involving DXA and ultrasound technologies for a period of ten 
years was reached by the Company and Lunar.  The complaint brought by Oldelft 
against the Company was dismissed in December 1995.  In January 1996, Oldelft 
filed a motion for reconsideration of the dismissal and amended its complaint.  
In April 1996, the Court denied Oldelft its motion for reconsideration of the 
dismissal and, in May 1996 Hologic and Oldelft settled this matter.

	Interest Income.  Interest income increased to $685,738 in the current 
quarter from $164,012 in the same quarter of fiscal 1995 and increased to 
$1,434,983 in the current nine month period from $446,583 in the comparable 
period in fiscal 1995 as the Company earned a higher rate of return on a 
higher investment base than in the prior year.  During the second quarter of 
fiscal 1996, the Company received proceeds of approximately $49,200,000 from a 
public sale of Common Stock which increased the investment base. The Company 
has invested these proceeds in investment grade corporate and government 
securities.  In fiscal 1996, the Company has also increased the number of 
long-term receivables to Latin American customers which generates additional 
interest income.

	Other Expense.  In the third quarter and for the first nine months of 
fiscal 1996, the Company incurred other expenses of  $61,094 and $184,857, 
respectively.  These expenses were slightly less than other expenses incurred 
in the comparable periods of fiscal 1995 and  were primarily attributable to 
the interest costs on the line of credit established by the Company in the 
third quarter of fiscal 1994 and, to a lesser extent, foreign currency 
exchange losses arising from the Company's U.S. dollar denominated sales 
transactions to its European subsidiaries.  The Company's European 
subsidiaries utilize the line of credit to borrow funds in their local 
currencies to pay for all intercompany sales, thereby reducing the foreign 
currency exposure on those transactions. To the extent that foreign currency 
exchange rates fluctuate in the future, the Company may be exposed to 
continued financial risk.  Although the Company has established a borrowing 
line denominated in the two foreign currencies (the French Franc and the 
Belgian Franc) in which the subsidiaries currently conduct business to 
minimize this risk, there can be no assurance that the Company will be 
successful or can fully hedge its foreign currency exposure. 

	Provision for Income Taxes.  The Company's effective tax rate for the 
first nine months of fiscal 1996 was 32.7%.  The Company's effective tax rate 
is lower than the statutory tax rates due primarily to the utilization of tax 
credits, the utilization of net operating losses in foreign jurisdictions and 
tax benefits associated with the Company's foreign sales corporation.  The 
Company's effective tax rate increased in fiscal 1996 due to the increase in 
U.S. versus international income. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

	The Company has funded its operations primarily through cash flows from 
operations and the issuance of securities.

	At June 29, 1996, the Company's working capital was $77,104,494.  At 
such date, the Company had $60,155,866 in cash, cash equivalents and short-
term investments.   The cash, cash equivalents and investments balance 
increased approximately $55,865,000 from September 30, 1995 primarily due to 
the net proceeds of approximately $49,200,000 from the public offering of 
common stock in the second quarter.  In addition, the cash and investments 
balance increased approximately $6,665,000 primarily due to the proceeds and 
tax benefits from the exercise of stock options and an increase in the 
Company's current liabilities, which were partially offset by an increase in 
accounts receivable and inventories.  The increase in current liabilities, 
accounts receivable and inventories reflects the Company's introduction of its 
new ACCLAIM family of bone densitometers and the increase in sales activity. 
At June 29, 1996, one customer had accounts receivable outstanding of 
approximately $1,950,000, which were current within their payment terms.  The 
Company finances certain sales to Latin America over a two to three year time 
frame.  At June 29, 1996, the Company had long-term accounts receivable 
outstanding of approximately $973,000 relating to these sales, which were 
included in other assets.  In the first nine months of fiscal 1996, the 
Company purchased approximately $1,257,000 of property and equipment, 
primarily computers and other equipment associated with the hiring of 
additional personnel.

	On July 18, 1996, the Company signed a definitive agreement to merge 
with FluoroScan.  Hologic and FluoroScan estimate that they will incur direct 
transaction costs of approximately $1.8 million  associated with the merger.  
These transaction costs will be expensed in the period incurred under the 
pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations.  As a 
result, the earnings of the combined entity will be adversely affected.  The 
amount is a preliminary estimate only and therefore subject to change.  There 
can be no assurance that Hologic and FluoroScan will not incur additional 
charges to reflect costs associated with the merger.

	The Company does not currently have any significant capital commitments 
and believes that existing sources of liquidity, including the net proceeds of 
the offering, funds expected to be generated from operations and a $3.0 
million credit line for use by its European subsidiaries, will provide 
adequate cash to fund the Company's anticipated working capital and other cash 
needs for the foreseeable future.

	



                            PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

                           HOLOGIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Item 1.	Legal Proceedings.

		Patent Litigation.  Until recently, Hologic had been involved in 
litigation brought in January 1995 by B.V. Optische Industrie de Oude Delft 
and two subsidiaries ("Oldelft") claiming damages relating to a prior patent 
dispute.  On  December 14, 1995, the United States District Court for the 
Southern District of New York granted Hologic's Motion to Dismiss and 
dismissed all claims against Hologic.  In January 1996, Oldelft filed a motion 
for reconsideration of the dismissal and amended its complaint.  In April 
1996, the Court denied Oldelft its motion for reconsideration of the 
dismissal, and in May 1996 Hologic and Oldelft settled this matter.

Item 2.	Changes in Securities.

		None.

Item 3.	Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

Item 5.	Other Information.

		On July 18, 1996, Hologic signed a definitive agreement to merge 
with FluoroScan.   The transaction is intended to be carried out by the merger
