           (INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO INTERIM PERIODS IS UNAUDITED)


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
   prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
   interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
   Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
   information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
   principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the
   management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
   considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
   results for the three month period ended September 30, 2000 are not
   necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
   ending June 30, 2001.

   The balance sheet at June 30, 2000 has been derived from the audited
   financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the
   information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
   principles for complete financial statements.

   For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
   footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for
   the year ended June 30, 2000.

2. ACQUISITIONS

   During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company entered into four loan
   agreements whereby Hearing Innovations, Inc. ("Hearing Innovations") was
   required to pay the Company amounts of $24,000 due July 1, 2000, $45,000 due
   July 15, 2000, $29,000 due July 15, 2000 and $13,000 due July 15, 2000.
   During the first quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company entered into an
   additional four loan agreements whereby Hearing Innovations was required to
   pay the Company the total principal amounts of $39,000, $13,000, $13,000 and
   $13,000 due September 15, 2000. All notes bore interest at 8% per annum. The
   notes were secured by a lien on all of Hearing Innovations' right, title and
   interest in accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and
   processes of specified products whether now existing or hereafter arising
   after the date of these agreements. On September 11, 2000, the Company loaned
   an additional $108,000 to Hearing Innovations, which together with the then
   outstanding loans aggregating $192,000 (with accrued interest) described
   above were exchanged for a $300,000 7% Secured Convertible Debenture due
   August 27, 2002, (the "Debenture") and warrants to acquire 66,667 shares of
   common stock at $2.25 per share. The Debenture is convertible at the option
   of the Company at any time into shares of common stock of Hearing Innovations
   at a conversion rate of $2.25 per share. Interest accrues and is payable at
   maturity, or is convertible on the same terms as the Debenture's principal
   amount. The warrants expire August 27, 2002. If the Company were to convert
   the Debenture and exercise all warrants, including those previously
   outstanding, the Company would hold a 20% interest in Hearing Innovations.
   The principal and accrued interest of the Debenture is $300,875 at September
   30, 2000.

4. INCOME TAXES

   The Company recorded a reduction of the valuation allowance applied against
   deferred tax assets in accordance with the provisions of FASB statement
   No.109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" which provided a one-time income tax
   benefit of $1,681,502. The valuation allowance was established in fiscal year
   1997 because the future tax benefit of certain stock option grants issued at
   that time could not be reasonably assured. The Company continually reviews
   the adequacy of the valuation allowance and recognized the income tax benefit
   during the quarter due to the reasonable expectation that such tax benefit
   will be realized due to the fiscal strength of the Company. Management
   believes that it is more likely than not that it will generate taxable income
   sufficient to realize the tax benefit associated with future deductible
   temporary differences and therefore, the Company reduced the valuation
   allowance to zero at September 30, 2000.

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


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999.

NET SALES: Net sales of the company's medical, scientific and industrial
products, increased $308,347 (4.8%) from $6,482,971 for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 to $6,791,318 for the three months ended September 30, 2000.
This increase is due to the inclusion of the revenues of Sonora and an increase
in ultrasonic industrial sales and wet scrubber (Mystaire) sales offset by lower
medical instrument and fume enclosure sales. Lower medical sales were a result
of reduced shipments of certain medical devices in order to allow for
engineering design and manufacturing process changes and the introduction of the
LySonix 3000. The Company's backlog of unfilled orders increased from $6,151,533
at September 30, 1999 to $10,216,846 at September 30, 2000. This increase is
primarily due to an increase in medical orders.

GROSS PROFIT: Gross profit increased to 52.7% of sales in the three months ended
September 30, 2000 from 43.5% of sales in the three months ended September 30,
1999 due to a favorable mix of high and low margin product deliveries.

SELLING EXPENSE: Selling expense increased 48.2% from $554,410 (8.6% of sales)
in the three months ended September 30, 1999 to $821,462 (12.1% of sales) in the
three months ended September 30, 2000, due to the inclusion of Sonora and
increased sales and marketing efforts in all products.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES: General and administrative expenses
increased 33.7% from $1,152,046 in the three months ended September 30, 1999 to
$1,539,825 in the three months ended September 30, 2000 due to the inclusion of
the consolidated results of Sonora, increased expenditures for investor
relations activities and amortization of Sonora and Labcaire goodwill.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES: Research and development expenses increased
from $262,644 in the three months ended September 30, 1999 to $346,858 in the
three months ended September 30, 2000. The increase is predominantly due to the
inclusion of Sonora and increased development costs associated with an increase
of medical and industrial products.

INCOME TAXES: For the three months ended September 30, 2000 there was a tax
provision of $377,256 offset by a reduction in the deferred tax valuation
allowance of $1,681,502 resulting in a benefit of $1,304,246 as compared to a
tax provision of $345,144 at September 30, 1999.

The Company recorded a reduction of the valuation allowance applied against
deferred tax assets in accordance with the provisions of FASB statement No.109
"Accounting for Income Taxes" which provided a one-time income tax benefit of
$1,681,502. The valuation allowance was established in fiscal year 1997 because
the future tax benefit of certain stock option grants issued at that time could
not be reasonably assured. The Company continually reviews the adequacy of the
valuation allowance and recognized the income tax benefit during the quarter due
to the reasonable expectation that such tax benefit will be realized due to the
fiscal strength of the Company. Management believes that it is more likely than
not that it will generate taxable income sufficient to realize the tax benefit
associated with future deductible temporary differences and therefore, the
Company reduced the valuation allowance to zero at September 30, 2000.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE): Other income during the three months ended September 30,
2000 was $260,334. During the three months ended September 30, 1999, other
income was $188,442. This increase was principally due to increased royalty
income received from the Company's licensees on the sales of medical devices and
an increase in interest income on investments offset by amortization of the
investment in capital stock of Focus Surgery, Inc. and Hearing Innovations, Inc.

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


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

Working capital at September 30, 2000 and June 30, 2000 was $17,739,530 and
$17,280,404, respectively. The increase is due to the buildup of inventory
offset by lower accounts receivable collections.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company entered into four loan
agreements whereby Hearing Innovations was required to pay the Company amounts
of $24,000 due July 1, 2000, $45,000 due July 15, 2000, $29,000 due July 15,
2000 and $13,000 due July 15, 2000. During the first quarter of fiscal 2001, the
Company entered into an additional four loan agreements whereby Hearing
Innovations was required to pay the Company the total principal amounts of
$39,000, $13,000, $13,000 and $13,000 due September 15, 2000. All notes bore
interest at 8% per annum. The notes were secured by a lien on all of Hearing
Innovations' right, title and interest in accounts receivable, inventory,
property, plant and equipment and processes of specified products whether now
existing or hereafter arising after the date of these agreements. On September
11, 2000, the Company loaned an additional $108,000 to Hearing Innovations,
which together with the then outstanding loans aggregating $192,000 (with
accrued interest) described above were exchanged for a $300,000 7% Secured
Convertible Debenture due August 27, 2002 (the "Debenture"), and warrants to
acquire 66,667 shares of common stock at $2.25 per share. The Debenture is
convertible at the option of the Company at any time into shares of common stock
of Hearing Innovations at a conversion rate of $2.25 per share. Interest accrues
and is payable at maturity, or is convertible on the same terms as the
Debenture's principal amount. The warrants expire August 27, 2002. If the
Company were to convert the Debenture and exercise all warrants, including those
previously outstanding, the Company would hold a 20% interest in Hearing
Innovations.

In October 2000, under the terms of the revised purchase agreement (the
"Labcaire Agreement") with Labcaire (as discussed in the Form 10-K at June 30,
2000), the Company paid approximately $118,000 for 9,286 shares (2.65%) of the
outstanding common stock of Labcaire. This represents the fiscal 2001 buy-back
portion, as defined in the Labcaire Agreement.

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.

Forward Looking Statements: This report contains certain forward looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section
21E of the Exchange Act, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors
created thereby. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying
the forward looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the
assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore, there can be no assurance that
the forward looking statements contained in this report will prove to be
accurate. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from the results
specifically discussed in the forward looking statements include, but are not
limited to, the absence of anticipated contracts, higher than historical costs
incurred in performance of contracts or in conducting other activities, product
mix in sales, results of joint venture and investment in related entities,
future economic, competitive and market conditions, the outcome of legal
proceedings, particularly those including patent litigation with Mentor
Corporation as well as management business decisions.

                          QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
                          DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Currency Risk:

          Approximately 23% of the Company's revenues in fiscal 2001 were
received in English Pounds Sterling currency. To the extent that the Company's
revenues are generated in English Pounds, its operating results are converted
into U.S. Dollars using rates of 1.48 and 1.59 for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. A strengthening of the English Pound,
in relation to the U.S. Dollar, will have the effect of increasing its reported
revenues and profits, while a weakening of the English Pound will have the
opposite effect. Since the Company's operations in England generally sets prices
and bids for contracts in English Pounds, a strengthening of the English Pound,
while increasing the value of its UK assets, might place the Company at a
pricing disadvantage in bidding for work from manufacturers based overseas.

          Euro Conversion: The January 1, 1999 adoption of the Euro created a
single-currency market in much of Europe. For a transition period from January
1, 1999 through January 1, 2002, the existing local currencies are anticipated
to remain legal tender as denominations of the Euro. The Company does not
anticipate that its operations will be materially adversely effected by the
conversion to the Euro. The Company has analyzed the impact of conversion to the
Euro on its existing systems and operations and implemented modifications to its
systems to enable the Company to handle Euro invoicing for the transactions
which commenced in 1999. The Company anticipates that the cost of such
modifications should not have a material effect on its consolidated results of
operations or liquidity.
