- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Benefits Committee
Spacelabs Medical, Inc.
    Incentive Savings and Stock Ownership Plan:


We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for plan
benefits of Spacelabs Medical, Inc. Incentive Savings and Stock Ownership Plan
(Plan) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the related statements of changes in
assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in assets available for plan
benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary Schedules 1 and 2 are
presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of
the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedules
have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

================================================================================

(1)    PLAN DESCRIPTION

       The following description of the Spacelabs Medical, Inc. Incentive
       Savings and Stock Ownership Plan (Plan) provides only general information
       and does not serve as the basis for any rights or benefits under the
       Plan. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete
       description of the Plan and benefit information.

       (A)  GENERAL

            The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all full-time, U.S.
            resident employees of Spacelabs Medical, Inc. (Sponsor or Company)
            who have one year of service and part-time employees who have
            completed one year of service and have worked 1,000 hours. The Plan
            is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
            Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

       (B)  ADMINISTRATION

            The plan administrator is Spacelabs Medical, Inc., which appointed a
            Benefits Committee to administer the Plan.

            The Plan's investments are held in trust by Wachovia Employee
            Benefit Trust Services (Trustee). Effective January 1, 1997, Plan
            investments are held by U. S. Bank of Washington NA Trust and
            Investment Management Division (Trustee).

       (C)  CONTRIBUTIONS

            Participants may elect to contribute from 2% to 16% of compensation,
            as defined, to the Plan subject to a pretax limit of $9,500 in 1996
            and $9,240 in 1995. Contributions and earnings are credited to
            separate accounts maintained for each participant. Employer matching
            contributions are made by the Sponsor at 50% of before- and
            after-tax contributions up to 6% of earnings. For purposes of the
            Plan financial statements "employer's contributions" consist of the
            employer matching contributions and "employees' contributions"
            consist of before- and after-tax contributions and rollover
            contributions.

            All employer matching contributions are made directly in the
            Company's common stock and invested in the Common Stock Fund for the
            benefit of the participants unless the participants are 55 years of
            age or older, at which time participants may elect to have employer
            matching contributions allocated in the same manner as their
            contributions. Employer stock contributions were valued at $722,377
            and $855,003 in 1996 and 1995, respectively. Forfeitures of employer
            matching contributions are used to reduce future employer
            contributions.


                                                                     (Continued)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


================================================================================

            The Plan offers the following investment options: The Fixed Income
            Fund, the Balanced Fund, the Diversified Equity Fund, the Global
            Fund, the Aggressive Growth Fund; and common stock represented by
            the Company Stock Fund and the ATL Stock Fund; however, the ATL
            Stock Fund is not available for new contributions.

            The Fixed Income Fund is a portfolio of Guaranteed Investment
            Contracts plus the Invesco ITC Stable Value Fund and, in 1995, the
            Dreyfus Stable Value Fund, which are collective investment funds
            investing primarily in guaranteed investment contracts and other
            similar instruments to achieve high current income and stability of
            principal. The Balanced Fund invests in the Dodge & Cox Balanced
            Fund (through September 1996, the Phoenix Balanced Fund) which holds
            equity and fixed income securities seeking reasonable income,
            long-term capital growth and conservation of capital. The
            Diversified Equity Fund is a portfolio of large capitalization
            common stock investments managed by the Vanguard Group and held in
            the Windsor II Fund. The Global Fund invests primarily in equity
            securities on a worldwide basis and seeks long-term capital growth
            through the Scudder Global Fund. The Aggressive Growth Fund seeks
            long-term capital appreciation through the Alger Defined
            Contribution Small Cap Portfolio, by investing in equity securities
            of companies with total market capitalization of less than $1
            billion. The Company Stock Fund is a portfolio of common stock of
            Spacelabs Medical, Inc., the Sponsor of the Plan. The ATL Stock Fund
            is a portfolio of common stock of Advanced Technology Laboratories,
            Inc.

       (D)  PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

            Each participant's account is credited with the participant's
            contributions, the participant's share of the Company's
            contributions, and an allocation of Plan earnings. Allocations are
            based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The
            benefit to which a participant is entitled is the vested balance of
            the participant's account.

(2)    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       (A)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

            The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the
            accrual basis of accounting.

       (B)  VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

            Investments of the Plan with quoted market prices are stated at fair
            value, as determined by closing market prices for securities. In
            1996, the Plan adopted SOP 94-4, Reporting of Investment Contracts
            Held by Health and Welfare Benefit Plans and Defined-Contribution
            Pension Plans, which requires that contracts with insurance
            companies be recorded at fair value unless they are benefit
            responsive. The Plan's contracts with insurance companies are valued
            at fair value, which approximates contract value, by discounting the
            related cash flows based on current yields of similar instruments
            with comparable durations. Purchases and sales are recorded on a
            trade-date basis.

            The Plan presents in the statement of changes in assets, the net
            appreciation in the fair value of its investments which consists of
            the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation
            (depreciation) on those investments.

       (C)  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

            The Plan considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
            three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

       (D)  EXPENSES

            Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Sponsor.

       (E)  USE OF ESTIMATES

            The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
            accepted accounting principles requires the plan administrator to
            make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
            assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
            liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
            amounts of changes in net assets during the reporting period.
            Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(3)    TAX STATUS

       The Plan was notified in September 1995 by the Internal Revenue Service
       (IRS) that it is qualified under section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue
       Code (IRC). Subsequent to this notification, there was an amendment to
       the Plan. The plan administrator believes the Plan is currently designed
       and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the
       IRC and the related trust is tax exempt.


                                                                     (Continued)

(4)    RECONCILIATION TO FORM 5500

       Net assets reported in accordance with IRS Form 5500 differ from the
       financial statements in that the Form 5500 includes a liability
       attributable to terminated participants of $739,231 and $200,551 at
       December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Changes in net assets in the
       Form 5500 differ from the financial statement by an amount equal to the
       change in the liability for terminated participants from the beginning of
       the year to the end. Such difference was an increase in the liability of
       $538,680 in 1996 and $78,220 in 1995.
