REVENUES

Equipment rental revenues increased $1,361,000 during the first quarter of 1996
compared to the first quarter of 1995. This growth reflected continued increases
in rental revenues from acute care hospitals and at the Company's established
district offices and higher growth rates associated with rental revenues from
alternate care customers and at newer offices. First quarter rental revenues
reflected an unanticipated slowing in comparable period growth rates in March to
about 5% from approximately 15% in each of January and February. Although
patient census days have steadily decreased since 1993, the Company believes
census rates showed an unusual decline in March 1996.

Sales of supplies and equipment, together with the related costs of these items,
represent primarily disposable medical supplies used in connection with the
Company's rental equipment. The Company believes that supplying these products
is important to its full service business even though the commodity-like nature
of these products results in substantially lower gross margins than its rental
equipment business. Sales of supplies and equipment decreased $156,000 from the
first quarter of 1995 to the first quarter of 1996. This primarily reflected a
continuing trend by a major vendor of disposables to market its products
directly to some of the Company's larger customers. This decrease was partially
offset by higher sales of Demand Positive Airway Pressure (DPAP) devices in the
first quarter of 1996 as compared to the first quarter of 1995, when the product
was introduced in the market.

Other revenues, primarily representing net gains on sales of used rental
equipment, remain insignificant. The Company expects that such revenues will
continue to be a small portion of total revenues.

RENTAL COSTS

Cost of equipment rentals represents the direct costs of operating the Company's
district offices including occupancy, fleet operations, equipment repairs and
technical service costs. These costs as a percentage of rental revenues
increased from 24.7% in the first quarter of 1995 to 26.0% in the first quarter
of 1996. This increase was due to lower than expected rental revenues for the
first quarter of 1996, planned personnel additions in the Company's processing,
repairs and delivery areas, and directly in Asset Management Partnership Program
(AMP Program) accounts, and due to increased costs of one of the Company's
equipment products which was rented on a short term basis instead of purchased
due to perceived obsolescence risk.

Rental equipment depreciation as a percentage of rental revenues increased from
21.8% in the first quarter of 1995 to 22.3% in the first quarter of 1996. This
increase was also due to lower than expected rental revenues for the first
quarter of 1996 and to depreciation on excess Bazooka bed inventory in the
Company's rental equipment pool. (See Rental Equipment and Inventory Build Up
below.)

GROSS PROFIT

Sales gross margin as a percentage of sales of supplies and equipment improved
from 16.7% in the first quarter of 1995 to 20.1% in the first quarter of 1996.
This change resulted from a lower margin vendor selling directly to hospitals,
which resulted in a higher margin percentage on a lower volume of total sales
and was also reflective of the impact of higher margin DPAP sales as an
increasing portion of total sales.

Gross margin on rentals is equipment rental revenues reduced by the cost of
equipment rentals and rental equipment depreciation. Gross margin on rentals
decreased from 53.5% in the first quarter of 1995 to 51.6% in the first quarter
of 1996. The decrease was the result of the previously discussed lower than
expected rental revenues for the first quarter of 1996 and longer term
commitments from the Company's larger customers which required some degree of
price discounting.

The total gross margin decrease from the first quarter of 1995 to the first
quarter of 1996 reflected the offsetting margin changes discussed above, with
the rental margin decreasing and the sales margin increasing.

                                                                               7

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue
decreased almost one percent from the first quarter of 1995 to the first quarter
of 1996. This was the result of positive leverage gained by the overall growth
in revenues outpacing the growth in selling, general and administrative
expenses.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense increased by $151,000 from the first quarter of 1995 to the
first quarter of 1996, primarily reflecting incremental borrowings associated
with  capital spending for additions to the Company's rental equipment pool.
Average borrowings increased 42% from $18.0 million in the first quarter of 1995
to $25.5 million in the first quarter of 1996.

INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective tax rate decreased from 42.1% in the first quarter of
1995 to 41.6% in the first quarter of 1996.

NET INCOME

Net income increased $64,000 from the first quarter of 1995 to the first quarter
of 1996, primarily as a result of rental revenue growth.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

As an asset intensive service business, the Company requires continued access to
capital to support the acquisition of equipment for rental to its customers. The
Company expects that rental equipment purchases, including purchases with
respect to anticipated new district office openings, will approximate $18.5
million in 1996. The Company has financed its equipment purchases primarily
through internally generated funds and unsecured borrowings. As of March 31,
1996, these unsecured borrowings were comprised of term loans and a $10 million
revolving credit facility available through June 30, 1997. As of March 31, 1996,
approximately $2.0 million of the revolving credit facility was unused. By mid
1996, the Company anticipates extending the revolving credit facility expiration
date by at least one year. The Company believes that net cash flow from
operating activities and use of its existing credit facility will be sufficient
to fund working capital and capital expenditure needs for the future. The
Company anticipates converting some variable rate debt to fixed rate debt in the
near future. Assuming debt financing continues to be available at reasonable
rates, the Company anticipates maintaining a ratio of long-term debt to total
capitalization in the range of 40% to 60%.

The Company does not maintain cash balances at its bank under a Company policy

INDUSTRY ASSESSMENT

The Company's customers, primarily acute care hospitals and other health care
providers, have been and continue to be faced with cost containment pressures
and uncertainties with respect to health care reform. The Company believes that,
although specific legislation has not been enacted, reform has begun with
movement toward health care related consolidations, managed care and the
formation of Integrated Healthcare Systems. There appears to be an effort by
providers of health care to coordinate all aspects of patient care irrespective
of delivery location. Likely changes in reimbursement methodology, and a gradual
transition toward fixed, per-capita payment systems and other risk-sharing
mechanisms will reward health care providers who improve efficiencies and
effectively manage their costs, while providing care in the most appropriate
setting. Although future reimbursement policies remain uncertain and
unpredictable, the Company believes that the current reform efforts will
continue to focus on cost containment in health care, with universal access to
care and quality of care being important, but nonetheless secondary
considerations.

The Company believes its Pay-Per-Use Equipment Management Programs respond
favorably to the current reform efforts by providing high quality equipment
through programs which help the health care providers improve their efficiency
while effectively matching costs to patient needs, wherever that care is being
provided. While the Company's strategic focus appears consistent with the
providers' efforts to contain costs and improve efficiencies, there can be no
assurances as to how health care reform will ultimately evolve and the impact it
will have on the Company.

Because the capital equipment procurement decisions of health care providers are
significantly influenced by the regulatory and political environment for health
care, historically the Company has experienced certain adverse operating trends
in periods when significant health care reform initiatives were under
consideration and uncertainty remained as to their likely outcome. To the extent
general cost containment pressures or health care spending and reimbursement
reform, or uncertainty as to possible reform, causes hospitals and other health
care providers to defer the procurement of medical equipment, reduce their
capital expenditures or change significantly their utilization of medical
equipment, the Company's results of operations could be adversely affected.

RENTAL EQUIPMENT AND INVENTORY BUILD UP

The Company is addressing what it believes is a temporary imbalance in its
rental inventory of Bazooka portable specialty beds and sales inventory of DPAP
(approximately $3.0 million and $2.1 million at March 31, 1996, respectively)
which resulted from the Company's exclusive distribution agreement with the
manufacturer of these products. This agreement was terminated in March.

Bazooka bed rentals have shown quarter-to-quarter growth and the Company
believes this supply/demand imbalance will be reduced during the remainder of
1996.

DPAP sales decreased in the first quarter of 1996 to approximately $279,000 from
$290,000 in the fourth quarter of 1995 primarily as a result of lower sales
revenue following termination of the exclusive distribution agreement. The
Company is attempting to correct the imbalance in DPAP inventory during the
remainder of 1996 through aggressive promotional campaigns; however, market
acceptance of DPAP remains uncertain. In the event that anticipated growth in
customer demand for this product does not occur, the value of the inventory
owned by the Company and the Company's results of operations could be adversely
affected. The value of these assets may also be affected by pricing pressure as
other distributors of DPAP or competitive products enter the market. In
addition, as a start-up medical device company, the future success of the
manufacturer of these products as an operating entity is inherently uncertain.
In the event the manufacturer experiences operating difficulties, the
marketability of DPAP could be adversely affected.

                                                                               9
