3. Inventories

                  Inventories are summarized as follows:

                                      December 31,
                                          1996

                                       $1,861,730

4. License Agreement For Medical Technology

In October 1996, the Company entered into a license agreement, with United
States Surgical Corporation ("USS"), covering the further development and
commercial exploitation of the Company's medical technology relating to
ultrasonic cutting, which uses high frequency sound waves to coagulate and
divide tissue for both open and laparoscopic surgery. The license agreement
gives USS exclusive world-wide marketing and sales rights for this technology.
The Company received $100,000 under the option agreement preceding the license
agreement. Under the license agreement, the Company is entitled to receive
aggregate fees of approximately $500,000, subject to attaining certain
milestones over the term of the agreement, plus royalties based upon net sales
of such products. The Company has already received $275,000 under the license
agreement.


5.  Acquisition

In October 1996, under the terms of the revised purchase agreement with
Labcaire (as discussed in the Form 10-KSB at June 30, 1996), the Company paid
(pound)62,388 (approximately $102,099) for 9,284 shares (2.65%) of the 65,000
outstanding shares owned by the Labcaire directors. This represents the fiscal
1996 buy-back portion.

           (Information with respect to interim periods is unaudited)


6. Capital Transactions

As previously reported, in March 1996, the Board of Directors approved a 1996
Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan covering an aggregate of 300,000 common
shares of the Company and a 1996 Outside Directors Stock Option Plan covering
an aggregate of 750,000 common shares of the Company. The Board then granted
options to acquire 70,000 shares at prices of $6.00 and $9.00 under the
Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan and options to acquire 519,000 shares at a
price of $1.10 under the Outside Directors Plan. The options are exercisable
for 10 years. Both of these plans, and the transactions under which options to
acquire 519,000 shares were granted, are subject to shareholder ratification
and approval at the next annual meeting of shareholders on February 19, 1997.
Such approval may result in a noncash compensation charge in an amount not
presently determinable.

7. Exercise of Public Warrants

As of the close of business on February 3, 1997, seven hundred twenty nine
thousand one hundred twenty eight publicly issued Redeemable Warrants were
exercised and a like number of common shares were issued. The balance of these
options expired. As a result, the Company received gross proceeds of
$5,687,198, giving it approximately 9,326,864 in cash and marketable securities
as of that date.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations


Six Months Ended December 31, 1996 and 1995

Net Sales: Net sales, which relate to the Company's medical, scientific and
industrial products, increased $2,075,405 (48.0%) from $4,327,872 in the six
months ended December 31, 1995 to $6,403,277 in the six months ended December
31, 1996. Domestic sales for the six months ended December 31, 1996 increased
66 % while sales at the Company's foreign subsidiary increased 25 %. The
Company's backlog of unfilled orders increased from $1,110,337 at December 31,
1995 to $3,415,275 at December 31, 1996. This increase is due to increasing
demand for the Company's base product line and new orders relative to the
ultrasonic soft tissue aspirator.

Gross Profit: Gross profit increased from 45.8% of sales in the six months
ended December 31, 1995 to 51.4% of sales in the six months ended December 31,
1996 primarily due to the onset of medical device sales, significant growth in
the domestic sales of the Company and economies of scale relative to this
growth.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased from $2,024,725 (46.8 % of sales) in the six
months ended December 31, 1995 to $2,364,316 (36.9% of sales) in the six months
ended December 31, 1996. This dollar increase relates to sales costs associated
with higher sales volume and hiring of additional personnel.

Research and Development Expenses: Medical product research and development
expenses were none in the six months ended December 31, 1995 and $22,120 in the
six months ended December 31, 1996. The increase in this area is due to
non-funded development costs associated with the Company's medical devices,
under its agreement with Medical Device Alliance Inc. Industrial product
research and development expenses were $109,411 in the six months ended
December 31, 1995 and $76,242 in the six months ended December 31, 1996. This
increase resulted from the current program which provides for selective product
improvement.

Other Income (Expense): Other income during the six months ended December 31,
1995 was $41,005. During the six months ended December 31, 1996, other income
was $156,159. This increase was principally due to the $100,000 of option fees
received from United States Surgical Corporation upon the latter's signing the
option agreement for the Company's ultrasonic medical technology

Net Operating Losses: The Company has accumulated approximately $6,956,000 of
net operating losses as of December 31, 1996, which may be used to reduce
taxable income and income taxes in future years. The utilization of these
losses to reduce future income taxes will depend on the generation of
sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the net operating loss
carryforwards. The carryforwards begin to expire in fiscal year 2002 and will
expire through fiscal year 2011. Additionally, based on ownership changes
resulting from the offering completed in January 1992, as well as historical
issuances of common stock and warrants, it is expected that the annual
utilization of the otherwise available pre-offering net operating loss
carryforwards will be limited by the provisions of Section 382 of the Internal
Revenue Code as amended.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)


Liquidity and Capital Resources: At December 31, 1996, the Company had a cash
balance of $730,335 and investments held to maturity of $1,702,264. Three
hundred seventy five thousand dollars of this amount was derived from the
signing of the option and licensing agreements discussed in Note 4. This
compares with the cash balance of $1,368,166 and investments held to maturity
of $248,665 at December 31, 1995. Inventories have increased during this period
from $1,071,708 to $1,852,681 reflecting, in part, the establishment of an
inventory for the ultrasonic soft tissue aspirator.

In addition, the Company has a revolving credit facility, which expires on June
30, 1997, in the amount of $500,000 available to the Company for short-term
borrowings and letters of credit. Borrowings under the facility bear interest
at prime plus 2% and are collateralized by a security interest in all assets of
the Company. While there are no outstanding borrowings under this facility, the
Company had utilized it in the form of a standby letter of credit in the amount
of approximately $300,000, which guaranteed a portion of the credit facility of
its subsidiary Labcaire Systems Ltd. In October 1996, the Company was released
from this standby letter of credit since Labcaire was able to secure its credit
facility based upon its own creditworthiness.

A revolving credit facility from a U.K. bank in the amount of approximately
$560,000 was available to Labcaire for short term borrowings. This facility
expires in August 1997 when all unpaid principal and interest is due. This
facility bears interest at U.K. prime plus 2% and is collateralized by a
security interest in all the assets of Labcaire and a guarantee by Labcaire's
directors. As of December 31, 1996, $495,413 was outstanding under this
facility.

The Company believes that its existing capital resources will enable it to
maintain its current and planned operations for at least 12 months from the
date hereof.
