                                     statements.




                         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 28, 1996, included in the Company's Form 10-K as filed with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission on December 27, 1996.

	The consolidated balance sheet as of June 28, 1997, the consolidated 
statements of income for the three and nine months ended June 28, 1997 and 
June 29, 1996 and, the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine 
months ended June 28, 1997  and June 29, 1996, 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 28, 
1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the 
entire fiscal year ending September 27, 1997.

(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 28,       	September 28,
                                          	1997	              1996
		                                       --------        -------------

Raw materials and work-in-process....  		$8,467,023       	$8,291,870
Finished goods.......................   		3,003,876        	2,831,118
                                         ==========        ==========
                                        $11,470,899       $11,122,988


	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.  
Transaction gains of $829 and $1,883 for the three and nine months ended June 
28, 1997, respectively, and transaction losses of $21,683 and $67,380 for the 
three and nine months ended June 29, 1996, respectively, are included in other 
expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

(3)	Acquisition of FluoroScan Imaging Systems, Inc.
	
	On August 29, 1996, the Company acquired all the common stock of 
FluoroScan Imaging Systems, Inc. (FluoroScan) in exchange for 1,454,901 shares 
of the Company's common stock.  FluoroScan is a manufacturer and distributor 
of low-intensity, real-time X-ray imaging devices.  The merger was accounted 
for as a pooling of interests.  Accordingly, the Company's financial 
statements have been restated to include the results of FluoroScan for all 
periods presented.  FluoroScan's fiscal year-end has been changed from 
December 31 to the last Saturday in September to conform to the Company's 
fiscal year-end.  Based on the difference in fiscal year-ends, results of 
operations for the three months ended December 31, 1995 for FluoroScan have 
been included in the consolidated statements of income for both fiscal 1995 
and 1996.  For the three months ended December 31, 1995, FluoroScan recorded 
total revenues of $3,877,968 and net income of $403,152.  The accompanying 
consolidated statement of cash flows has been adjusted to eliminate this net 
income in 1996.


(4)	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 1.50%.  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.  



 (5)	Recent Accounting Pronouncements

	In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 "Accounting for 
Stock-Based Compensation," which becomes effective for fiscal years beginning 
after December 15, 1995.  SFAS No. 123 establishes new financial accounting 
and reporting standards for stock-based compensation plans.  However, entities 
are allowed to elect whether to measure compensation expense for stock-based 
compensation under SFAS No. 123 or Accounting Principles Board ("APB") No. 25, 
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."  The Company has elected to remain 
with the accounting under APB Opinion No. 25 and will make the required pro 
forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share in its September 27, 
1997 financial statements as if the provisions of SFAS No. 123 had been 
applied.  The potential impact of adopting this standard on the Company's pro 
forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share has not been quantified 
at this time.

	In March 1997, SFAS No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" was issued which 
establishes new standards for calculating and presenting earnings per share.  
The Company will adopt this new standard in its 1997 financial statements, 
which will require the reporting of diluted earnings per share and basic 
earnings per share.  For the three months ended June 29, 1996 and June 28, 
1997 and for the nine months ended June 29, 1996 and June 28, 1997, diluted 
earnings per share would have been $.31, $.35, $.76 and $1.01, respectively.  
Basic earnings per share would have been $.33, $.36, $.83, $1.07, 
respectively, for the same periods.

(6)	Rights Agreement

	On December 9, 1996, the Board of Directors increased the exercise price 
per common share under the Company's Rights Agreement from $15 per share to 
$90 per share.





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, the use of mini c-arms in minimally-invasive 
surgical procedures, 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 1997 increased 
to $26,947,937 from $26,233,308 in the third quarter of fiscal 1996.  Total 
revenues for the current nine month period increased 22% to $82,057,568 from 
$67,219,729 for the first nine months of fiscal 1996.  These increases were 
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 42% over the prior year.  The increase in product 
sales in the current quarter was partially offset by a decrease in product 
shipments to Japan. Other revenues also increased for the current three and 
nine month periods due to revenues received under a development agreement for 
a biochemical marker strip test and an increase in royalties from the license 
of the Company's technology to Vivid Technologies, Inc.

	Total revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 decreased 4% from 
$27,999,888 in the immediately preceding quarter, even though unit shipments 
were up, primarily due to a shift in product sales mix to two of the Company's 
lower priced models, the QDR-1000plus and QDR-4500C used in clinical settings.  
Contributing to the sequential decrease in revenues was the decreased sales to 
Japan where current revenues were approximately one-half of the third quarter 
of fiscal 1996.  Product sales in all other territories showed both sequential 
growth over the second quarter of fiscal 1997 and year-over-year growth when 
compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1996.
	
	In the first nine months of fiscal 1997, approximately 58% of product 
sales were generated in the United States, 21% in Europe, 12% in Asia and 9% 
in other international markets. In the first nine months of fiscal 1996, 
approximately 58% of product sales were generated in the United States, 19% in 
Europe, 18% in Asia, and 5% in other international markets.

	Unit sales of the Company's x-ray bone densitometers reached a record 
level as interest in bone diseases, such as osteoporosis, has grown, as new 
drug therapies have become available in the United States and other countries 
to treat these diseases and as the use of DXA systems to measure bone density 
has become more widespread.

	Costs and Expenses. The cost of product sales as a percentage of product 
sales was constant at approximately 46% for the first three and nine months of 
fiscal 1997 and 1996.  In the current quarter and nine month period, increased 
shipments of the latest family of DXA bone densitometers, the ACCLAIM series, 
which earns a better gross margin than the Company's older DXA systems, 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 average 
selling prices were offset by an increase in costs and lower sales of the mini 
c-arm systems.

	Research and development expenses increased 18% to $2,225,704 (8% of 
total revenues) in the current quarter from $1,878,382 (7% of total revenues) 
in the third quarter of fiscal 1996.  For the current nine month period, 
research and development expenses increased 20% to $6,162,790 (8% of total 
revenues) from $5,123,385 (8% of total revenues) for the first nine months of 
1996.  The increase in research and development expenses in 1997 is  primarily 
due to the addition of engineering personnel working on the development of new 
products, product enhancements and the funding of Serex, Inc. to develop a 
biochemical marker strip test.
	
	Selling and marketing expenses increased 8% to $4,734,783 (18% of 
product sales) in the current quarter from $4,377,637 (17% of product sales) 
in the third quarter of fiscal 1996.  For the current nine month period, 
selling and marketing expenses increased 14% to $13,826,980 (17% of product 
sales) from $12,079,392 (19% of product sales) for the first nine months of 
1996.  The increase in selling and marketing expenses in 1997 is primarily due 
to an increase in sales personnel and related expenses, marketing and 
promotional costs and increased sales commissions based on the higher sales 
volume in areas where commissions are generally paid, particularly in the 
United States.

	General and administrative expenses decreased 20% to $2,027,462 (8% of 
total revenues) in the current quarter from  $2,539,957 (10% of total 
revenues) in the third quarter of fiscal 1996.  During the first nine months 
of fiscal 1997, general and administrative expenses increased 13% to 
$7,726,109 (9% of total revenues) from $6,859,189 (10% of total revenues) in 
the first nine months of 1996.  The decrease in general and administrative 
expenses in the current quarter from the third quarter of fiscal 1996 is 
primarily due to a reduction in employee benefit related expenditures.  The 
increase in general and administrative expenses for the first nine months of  
fiscal 1997 compared to the same period of fiscal 1996 was primarily due to 
increased headcount and other compensation-related expenditures.

	Litigation expenses incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 were in 
connection with the Company's disputes with Lunar and Oldelft.  These disputes 
were settled in November 1995 and May 1996, respectively.

	Interest Income.  Interest income increased to $1,384,626 in the current 
quarter from $759,542 in the same quarter of fiscal 1996 and increased to 
$3,717,041 in the current nine month period from $1,645,983 in the comparable 
period in fiscal 1996 as the Company earned a slightly higher rate of return 
on a higher investment base than in the prior year. In January 1996, the 
Company received proceeds of approximately $49.2 million from a public sale of 
Common Stock which increased the investment base.  The Company also received 
approximately $8.0 million from the exercise of FluoroScan warrants in July 
1996.  The Company has invested these proceeds in investment grade corporate 
and government securities.  In the current quarter and nine months, the 
Company also increased the number of long-term receivables to Latin American 
customers resulting in additional interest income.

	Other Expense.  In the third quarter and for the first nine months of 
fiscal 1997, the Company incurred other expenses of $7,013 and $68,607, 
respectively.  These expenses were less than other expenses incurred in the 
comparable periods of fiscal 1996 and were primarily attributable to the 
interest costs on the line of credit established for use by the Company's 
European subsidiaries and to a  lesser extent in fiscal 1996 to foreign 
currency exchange losses.  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 was 36.2% 
in the first nine months of fiscal 1997 and 33.3% for the comparable period in 
fiscal 1996. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the 
significant increase in U.S. income.  The effective tax rate is less than the 
combined Federal and state statutory rates due primarily to the favorable 
Federal and state tax treatment afforded the Company's foreign sales 
corporation and the favorable state tax treatment of certain of the Company's 
interest income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

	At June 28, 1997, working capital was approximately $107 million, and 
cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $79 million.  The 
Company has funded its operations primarily through cash flows from operations 
and the issuance of securities.  The cash, cash equivalents and short-term 
investments balance increased $3 million from September 28, 1996 primarily due 
to operating activities which included net income of $13.8 million and an 
increase in the Company's accrued expenses, which were partially offset by an 
increase in accounts receivable and long-term investments.  The increase in 
accrued expenses and accounts receivable reflects the increase in the 
Company's sales activity.  At June 28, 1997, one customer had accounts 
receivable outstanding of approximately $3 million which were within their 
payment terms.  The Company finances certain sales to Latin America over a two 
to three year time frame.  At June 28, 1997, the Company had long-term 
accounts receivable outstanding of approximately $3.2 million relating to 
these sales which were included in other assets.  In the first nine months of 
1997, the Company purchased approximately $1,440,000 of property and 
equipment, primarily computers and other equipment associated with the hiring 
of additional personnel.

	The Company does not currently have any significant capital commitments 
and believes that existing sources of liquidity, 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

	In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 "Accounting for 
Stock-Based Compensation," which becomes effective for fiscal years beginning 
after December 15, 1995.  SFAS No. 123 establishes new financial accounting 
and reporting standards for stock-based compensation plans.  However, entities 
are allowed to elect whether to measure compensation expense for stock-based 
compensation under SFAS No. 123 or Accounting Principles Board ("APB") No. 25, 
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."  The Company has elected to remain 
with the accounting under APB Opinion No. 25 and will make the required pro 
forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share in its September 27, 
1997 financial statements as if the provisions of SFAS No. 123 had been 
applied.  The potential impact of adopting this standard on the Company's pro 
forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share has not been quantified 
at this time.

	In March 1997, SFAS No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" was issued which 
establishes new standards for calculating and presenting earnings per share.  
The Company will adopt this new standard in its 1997 financial statements, 
which will require the reporting of diluted earnings per share and basic 
earnings per share.  For the three months ended June 29, 1996 and June 28, 
1997 and for the nine months ended June 29, 1996 and June 28, 1997, diluted 
earnings per share would have been $.31, $.35, $.76 and $1.01, respectively.  
Basic earnings per share would have been $.33, $.36, $.83, $1.07, 
respectively, for the same periods.

Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 
1995

	Certain statements in this filing, and elsewhere (such as in other 
filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, press 
releases, presentations by the Company or its management, and oral statements) 
constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private 
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Such forward-looking statements 
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may 
cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of the Company to be 
materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements 
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  Such factors 
include, among other things, regulation, technical risks associated with the 
development of new products, regulatory policies in the United States and 
other countries, reimbursement policies of public and private health care 
payors, introduction and acceptance of new drug therapies, competition from 
existing products and from new products or technologies, and market and 
general economic factors.
