  THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND DECEMBER 31, 1998

    NET SALES. Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 decreased 14% to
  $2,008,000 from $2,346,000 for the comparable quarter of last fiscal year. The
  sales decrease resulted from significantly lower private label sales,
  partially offset by a 20% increase in domestic sales of ROCHESTER MEDICAL
  brand products and a 117% increase in international sales. Currently, the
  Company is experiencing a shortage of production workers due to competitive
  conditions in the local labor market, which may temporarily affect the timing
  for filling customer orders in upcoming quarters. The Company recently
  implemented a benefits program, including wage increases, designed to address
  these competitive conditions.

    GROSS MARGIN. The Company's gross margin as a percentage of net sales for
  the first quarter of fiscal 2000 was 24% compared to 25% for the comparable
  quarter of last fiscal year. The current quarter's margin reflects costs
  associated with underutilized production capacity due to lower sales. Costs
  associated with increased capacity are anticipated to continue until the
  Company achieves sufficient sales to absorb the additional capacity. In
  addition, the Company's recent implementation of the benefits program
  described above could impact gross margins in future periods.

    MARKETING AND SELLING. Marketing and selling expense for the first quarter
  of fiscal 2000 increased 56% to $1,299,000 from $830,000 for the comparable
  quarter of last fiscal year. The increase in marketing and selling expense is
  primarily due to promotional activities as part of the Company's phased
  rollout of the FEMSOFT(R) INSERT. The Company anticipates that marketing and
  selling expenses will increase in future periods as the Company expands its
  promotional and market development activities related to ROCHESTER MEDICAL
  brand products, particularly the FEMSOFT INSERT.

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expense for the first
  quarter of fiscal 2000 increased 1% to $223,000 from $221,000 for the
  comparable quarter of last fiscal year. The increase in research and
  development expense primarily reflects an increase in costs relating to the
  development and testing of new FEMSOFT INSERT manufacturing and packaging
  equipment offset by a decrease in FEMSOFT INSERT clinical testing costs.

    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expense for the first
  quarter of fiscal 2000 increased 3% to $460,000 from $445,000 for the
  comparable quarter of last fiscal year. The increase in general and
  administrative expense is primarily related to general increases in personnel
  and other miscellaneous support costs.

    INTEREST INCOME. Interest income for the first quarter of fiscal 2000
  decreased 6% to $165,000 from $176,000 for the comparable quarter of last
  fiscal year. The decrease in interest income reflects the comparatively lower
  average level of invested cash balances in the current quarter due to the
  utilization of cash for operations and capital expenditures.

  LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Company's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were
  $11,785,000 at December 31, 1999 compared with $13,246,000 at September 30,
  1999. The Company used a

                                       -8-

<PAGE>



  net $1,038,000 of cash from operating activities during the quarter, primarily
  reflecting the net loss before non-cash depreciation.

    During the three-month period ended December 31, 1999, the Company's working
  capital position, excluding cash and marketable securities, decreased by a net
  $28,000. Accounts receivable balances and inventories were virtually unchanged
  during this period, at approximately $1,400,000 and $2,000,000, respectively.
  Other current assets decreased 21% or $72,000 during the recent three-month
  period as a result of the timing of receipt of interest earnings on
  investments. Current liabilities decreased 5% or $75,000 during the recent
  three-month period, reflecting a temporary increase in raw material purchase
  volumes related to Year 2000 preparations, offset by a reduction in accrued
  expenses from payment of clinical trial and accrued compensation obligations.
  Changes in other asset and liability balances during the recent three-month
  period related to timing of expense recognition.

         In December 1999, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase
  program. Up to one million shares of the Company's outstanding common stock
  may be repurchased under the program. Purchases may be made from time to time
  at prevailing prices in the open market and through other customary means. No
  time limit has been placed on the duration of the stock repurchase program and
  it may be conducted over an extended period of time as business and market
  conditions warrant. The Company also may discontinue the stock repurchase
  program at any time. The repurchased shares will be available for reissuance
  pursuant to employee stock option plans and for other corporate purposes. The
  Company intends to fund such repurchases with currently available funds.
  During the first quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company repurchased 10,600 shares
  of common stock for $73,000.

         The Company believes that its capital resources on hand at December 31,
  1999, together with revenues from sales, will be sufficient to satisfy its
  working capital requirements for the foreseeable future as described in the
  Liquidity and Capital Resources portion of Management's Discussion and
  Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company's
  Annual Report on Form 10-K (Part II, Item 6) for the fiscal year ended
  September 30, 1999.

  IMPACT OF YEAR 2000

         As described in the Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1999,
  the Company had developed plans to address the possible exposures related to
  the impact on its computer systems of the Year 2000. Since entering the year
  2000, the Company has not experienced any major disruptions to its business
  nor is it aware of any significant Year 2000-related disruptions impacting its
  customers and suppliers. Furthermore, the Company did not experience any
  material impact on overall inventory levels at calendar year end. The Company
  will continue to monitor its critical systems over the next several months but
  does not anticipate any significant impacts due to Year 2000 exposures from
  its internal systems as well as from the activities of its suppliers and
  customers.

                                       -9-

<PAGE>




         Costs incurred to achieve Year 2000 readiness, which include contractor
  costs to modify existing systems and costs of internal resources dedicated to
  achieving Year 2000 compliance, were charged to expense as incurred. Such
  costs totaled approximately $85,000 and were essentially incurred prior to the
  current fiscal year.
