                                 ONGARD SYSTEMS, INC.
                    NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                           

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION    

     The information in this Form 10-QSB includes the results of operations of
     the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, OnGard Sterilization
     Technology  ("OST"), for the periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.  The
     data is unaudited, but includes all adjustments including the elimination
     of intercompany accounts and transactions which are, in the opinion of
     management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods
     presented.  The accounting policies utilized in the preparation of
     financial information are the same as set forth in the Company's annual
     financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's
     Form 10-KSB.  Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to
     conform to the current period classification.  Results of operations for
     the six months ended June 30, 1997 may not necessarily be indicative of the
     full year results.

2.   SALE OF SELECTED ASSETS OF MAILBACK CONTAINER LINE

     On June 30, 1997 the Company completed the sale of selected assets of its
     Mailback and Container product line to Sage Products, Inc. of Crystal Lake,
     Illinois.  The sale included all customer account data, patents and related
     intellectual property, inventory and minor office equipment.  Accounts
     receivables were retained by the Company.  The sale price was approximately
     $726,000.  At June 30, 1997 approximately $101,000 of the sale price was
     included in Other Receivables in the accompanying balance sheet.  The
     Company reported a gain on the sale of approximately $400,000.  Revenues
     for this product line were $438,000 for the six month periods ending June
     30, 1997 and $895,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 1996.

3.   CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE TRANSACTION TERMINATED

     The Company had previously indicated in its first quarter 10-QSB that it
     had completed the documentation for the sale of $1.5 million from the sale
     of Convertible Debentures, and that it anticipated funding to occur in May
     1997  The Debentures were to be convertible into common stock of the
     Company in $50,000 denominations at any time after a 45-day restriction
     period at a price equal to the then fair market value of the common stock
     less 22-1/2%, or the common stock price at the funding date, whichever is
     lower.

     In May 1997, the Company elected not to proceed with this offering of
     Debentures.  No Debentures were sold pursuant to the offering nor were any
     transactions effected relating to this arrangement.

4.   INVENTORY

     Inventory consists of the following:

6.   DEBT GUARANTEE FEE

     Debt guarantee fees reflected the estimated fair value of 600,000 warrants
     issued to the guarantor of the Company's $2.5 million bank indebtedness in
     exchange for the guarantee of the Company's former bank line.  The amount
     was amortized over the term of the note, the period from October 1995
     through maturity in April 1996,  as a non-cash charge against earnings
     which was included  in interest expense (Note 7).  The Company obtained an
     investment banking opinion for the fair value assigned to the first 400,000
     warrants granted, and applied the same value for the subsequent 200,000
     warrants which were granted under the same terms and conditions.  The
     guarantee fee was fully amortized upon the repayment of the debt in April
     1996.
     
     The Company has also recorded $176,000 in similar charges for the value of
     the 375,000 warrants granted to the guarantors in conjunction with a new
     credit facility committed in April 1997 with funding occurring in June
     1997. (Note 7).  These warrants were valued pursuant to SFAS No. 123
     according to the Black Scholes valuation method.

7.  DEBT

    In April 1997 the Company obtained a commitment for a new credit facility
    with a bank, which was facilitated by the same two guarantors of the
    previous bank borrowing.  The credit line of $1.0 million bears interest at
    the LIBOR rate plus 2%, and matures twelve months from inception.  The
    Company secured the credit facility with all of its tangible and intangible
    assets.  At June 1997, $1.0 million was outstanding on the credit line.  In
    exchange for their guarantees the Company granted the guarantors 375,000
    warrants to purchase OnGard common stock at a price of $1.25 per share or
    the price per share at the closing date.  The Warrant contains an
    antidilution provision which adjusts the price per share and number of
    shares issueable to the price of any subsequent financing where the price
    per share is lower than the granted price.  The funding occurred on May 30,
    1997.

    The Company has recorded the fair value of the warrants granted as a
    non-cash fee with an offsetting increase to additional paid in capital. The
    amount will be included as interest expense, and amortized over the
    one-year life of the loan.


8.  WARRANTS

    The Company has issued warrants in connection with the securities
    transactions which have financed its operations since its initial public
    offering, other than its September 1995 private placement.  Warrants
    included with the Company's initial public offering expired on April 30,
    1996  and generated $6.0 million in gross proceeds from their exercise.
    Other warrants, which have expired, are excluded from the following data.

    Warrant prices and expiration periods of remaining warrants vary but key
    terms, shown below, are included in each transaction.  A summary of the key
    warrant terms, Company calculation of dilution adjusted prices and shares
    at June 30, 1997 and potential maximum gross proceeds to the Company are as
    follows:

</TABLE>
 

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

    Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1997 increased 16% or $170,000
from $1,087,000 to  $1,257,000  in the same period in 1996.  The increase is
primarily attributable to sales in the Company's equipment business line.

    Operating margin improved to a deficit of $113,000 (a deficit of 9% of
revenues) for the three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to a deficit of
$487,000 (45% of revenues) for the same period in 1996.  The improvement in
margin resulted in part from an increase in revenues of $170,000 described
above, lower direct material costs and lower overhead costs as a result of
containment measures.  Revenues, which were insufficient to offset fixed factory
overhead, resulted in a minor operating margin deficiency.

    General and administrative expenses decreased $311,000, or 48%, from
$648,000 (59.5% of revenues) to $337,000 (27.0% of revenues) for the respective
three month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.  The decrease is the result of
cost containment measures in a broad category of expenses including personnel,
legal, professional fees, travel and office supplies.

    Deferred compensation, the non-cash charges which reflect the difference
between market and exercise prices of stock options granted, increased $2,000
from $145,000 to $147,000 in the respective quarters ended June 30, 1997, and
1996.


                                          10

<PAGE>

    Sales and marketing expenses increased 20%, or  $69,000 to $484,000 (38.5%
of revenues) in the three months ended June 30, 1997 versus $402,000 (37.0% of
revenues) in the comparable period in 1996.  The Company has increased its
direct selling efforts, including manpower and collateral materials, in its
equipment product line.

    Research and development expenses decreased $59,000 to $9,000 from $68,000,
an 87% decrease, for  the first quarter ended  June 30, 1997  to the comparable
quarter in 1996.  The decrease relates to the completion of Autopak-Registered
Trademark- development, and of the Company's compact sterilizer product line.

    Interest expense increased from $63,000 to $72,000  for the comparable
quarters ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,  or 14%.  This results from the payment
in full of the Company's prior bank line, on April 15, 1996 offset by increases
for interest related to assets financed by capital leases, interest on the new
bank line and short term loans .


SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

    Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997 increased 40% or $731,000
from $1,815,000 to  $2,546,000 in the same period in 1996.  The increase is
predominantly attributable to sales in the Company's equipment business line.

    Operating margin improved to a deficit of $132,000 (a deficit of 5% of
revenues) for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to a deficit of
$666,000 (37% of revenues) for the same period in 1996.  The improvement in
margin resulted in part from an increase in revenues of $731,000 described
above, lower overhead costs as a result of cost containment measures and certain
start-up production costs incurred in 1996, which were not recurring.  Revenues,
which were insufficient to offset fixed factory overhead, resulted in a minor
operating margin deficiency.

    General and administrative expenses decreased $624,000, or 46% from
$1,353,000 to $729,000 for the respective six month periods ended June 30, 1997
and 1996.  The decrease is the result of cost containment measures in a broad
category of expenses including, legal, professional fees, travel, personnel and
office supplies, as well as expenditures incurred for relocation during 1996
which were not recurring.

    Deferred compensation, the non-cash charges which reflect the difference
between market and exercise prices of stock options granted, increased $4,000
from $291,000 to $295,000 in the respective six months ended June 30, 1997, and
1996.

    Sales and marketing expenses increased $126,000 to $964,000 in the six
months ended June 30, 1997 versus $838,000 in the comparable period in 1996, or
15%.  The Company has increased its direct selling efforts, including manpower
and collateral materials, in its equipment product line.

    Research and development expenses decreased $101,000 to $35,000 from
$136,000, a 74% decrease, for  the six months ended  June 30, 1997  to the
comparable quarter in 1996.  The decrease relates to the completion of
Autopak-Registered Trademark- development, and of the Company's compact
sterilizer product line.

    Interest expense decreased from $249,000 to $91,000  for the comparable six
month ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, a decrease of 158,000 or 63%.  This results
from the payment in full of the Company's bank line, on April 15, 1996 offset by
increases for interest related to assets financed by capital leases.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Company's working capital at June 30, 1997 decreased to $495,000 from
$1,696,000 at December 31, 1996.  Cash and cash equivalents were $287,000 at
June 30, 1997 versus $886,000 at December 31, 1996.  Accounts receivable
increased $300,000 to $1,045,000 at June 30, 1997, from $745,000 at December 31,
1996.  Inventory increased, net, $808,000 to $2,910,000 at June 30, 1997 from
$2,102,000 at December 31, 1996.


                                          11

    Successful completion of the Company's initial public offering in 1992
provided funds to expand development efforts for the Company's existing product
line and continue product enhancement and expansion.  The Company had raised
additional funds through various private transactions since that date, however,
as working capital at December 31, 1994 amounted to a deficit of $1,032,000, it
became necessary for the Company to obtain additional funds.  In order to align
its capital structure and working capital deficiency, on September 29, 1995, the
Company completed a private placement (the "September 1995 Private Placement")
of the sale of 2,204,021 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of
$3.50 per share aggregating gross proceeds of $7,714,000.  Pursuant to the
September 1995 Private Placement the Company registered such Common Shares
issued in this placement. The Company also sold 100 shares of its Series B
Redeemable Preferred Limited Voting Stock (the "Series B preferred stock") in
the September 1995 Private Placement.  Provided that the holders of the Series B
preferred stock own in the aggregate at least 5% of the Company's Common Stock,
the holders of the Series B preferred stock were granted the right to elect one
member to the Company's Board of Directors, which they exercised effective
December 24, 1995.

    The Company had also previously generated funds through $2.5 million in
notes payable to a bank which had been facilitated by third party guarantors
(Note 7).  The notes called for a 36 month amortization schedule and a balloon
payment at the end of one-and-a-half years in April, 1996.  The balloon payment
($1,622,000) was paid in full from the Company's cash position in April, 1996.

    In addition, the Company obtained funds through the exercise of outstanding
Common Stock Purchase Warrants.  These warrants were to expire on August 15,
1995, but were initially extended until December 31, 1995 and thereafter until
March 29, 1996 and April 30, 1996.   Through the exercise of Common Stock
Purchase Warrants, the Company generated $6.0 million in gross proceeds through
the expiration date of the Common Stock Purchase Warrants, April 30, 1996.

    Most recently, in April 1997, the Company obtained a commitment for a $1.0
bank line of credit facilitated by the guarantors who had facilitated the
Company's previous bank line.  The line bears interest at the LIBOR rate plus 2%
and matures twelve months from inception.  The Company provided the guarantors
with warrants to purchase 375,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.25 or
the price at the closing date. Funds were drawn in full on May 30, 1997.

    Although the Company has been successful to date in obtaining sources of
financing sufficient to meet current trade obligations and other expenses and to
enable it to pursue its business plans generally, there is no assurance it will
be successful in this regard in the future.  Furthermore, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in securing other funds or, that
if successful, such funds will be adequate to fund the Company's operations
until it is able to generate cash from operations sufficient to sustain its
ongoing operations without additional external sources of capital.


GOVERNMENT REGULATION

    The Company's existing and planned products are or may be subject to
regulation by the FDA pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act ("FDC Act").  Under the FDC Act, several, if not all, of the
Company's infection control products, sterilization medical packaging and
sterilization supplies are subject to regulation as medical devices.

    Medical devices are classified into either Class I, II or III.  Class I and
II devices are not expressly approved by the FDA.  However, pursuant to
section 510(k) of the FDC Act, the manufacturer or distributor of a Class I or
II device that is initially introduced commercially on or after May 28, 1976
must notify the FDA of its intent commercially to introduce the device through
the submission of a premarket notification (a "510(k) notice").  Before
commercial distribution can commence, the FDA must review the 510(k) notice and
clear the device for commercial distribution.  The FDA normally has 90 days to
review the 510(k) notice and grant or deny clearance to market on the basis that
it is substantially equivalent to a device marketed before May 28, 1976.
Alternatively, the FDA may postpone a final decision and require the submission
of additional information, which may include clinical data.  If additional
information is required, review and clearance of a 510(k) notice may be
significantly delayed.  In order to clear a Class I or II device for marketing,


                                          12

<PAGE>

the FDA must determine, from the information contained in the 510(k) notice,
that the device is "substantially equivalent" to one or more Class I or II
devices that are legally marketed in the United States.

    If a device is not considered "substantially equivalent," it is regulated
as a Class III medical device.  In general, a Class III medical device must be
expressly approved by the FDA for commercial distribution pursuant to the
submission of a Premarket Approval Application ("PMA").  A PMA must contain,
among other information, substantial information about the manufacture of the
device and data from adequate and well controlled clinical trials that
demonstrate that the device is both safe and effective.  The PMA approval
process is substantially more complex and lengthy than the 510(k) premarket
notification process.  Once a PMA is submitted, it may take 16-24 months, or
longer, for the FDA review and approval, if such approval is granted at all.

    A medical device, whether cleared for marketing under the 510(k) pathway or
pursuant to a PMA approval, is subject to ongoing regulatory oversight by the
FDA to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, including, but not
limited to, product labeling requirements and limitations, including those
related to promotion and marketing efforts,  Current Good Manufacturing Practice
requirements, record keeping and medical device (adverse reaction) reporting.

    FDA regulatory oversight also applies to the Company's sterile medical
packaging products, which are used by other companies in packaging their own
medical devices.  Generally, FDA acceptance of the suitability of such packaging
products is made in the context of regulatory submissions of other companies
concerning the device to be packaged.  Thus, the Company requires no separate
FDA clearance or approval of these packaging products.  Within this framework,
the principal regulatory responsibilities of the Company for its sterile medical
packaging products are to ensure that the packaging products are manufactured in
conformity with Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements.  Although the
Company believes that all of its manufacturing activities are in conformity with
Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, there can be no guarantee of
compliance.

    Historically, the FDA has not exercised device regulatory authority over
some types of infection control products, such as sharps containers or mailer
packages, including those which are used in the Company's mail-back system, and
has allowed companies to begin commercial introduction (on or after May 28,
1976) of these types of products without a 510(k) clearance.  On February 3,
1994, the FDA issued a written policy statement which allowed manufacturers of
sharps containers a "discretionary period" of 180 days (until August 2, 1994) to
continue marketing their products already in distribution (introduced on or
after May 28, 1976) without the benefit of 510(k) clearance provided that
required 501(k) notices are submitted to FDA prior to the conclusion of the
discretionary period.  Manufacturers of sharps containers also must comply with
FDA device listing and establishment registration requirements.  The FDA has
indicated that there is no change in its regulatory posture toward the mailer
packages used in the mail-back system and that it does not intend to regulate
this product as a medical device.

    OnGard submitted all of the 510(k) notices during 1994 and 1996. The
Company received notification that all of its 510(k) submittals for sharps
containers had been approved and cleared for marketing.  The Company sold all of
its containers and Mailback business as described in Note 2.  The Company has
also received a 510(k) notice for its submission of AutoPak-Registered
Trademark-.
