                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)


1.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

       The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been
       prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and
       regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include, in the
       opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal and
       recurring adjustments) that the Company considers necessary for a fair
       presentation of such information. Certain information and footnote
       disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
       accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
       condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company
       believes, however, that its disclosures are adequate to make the
       information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial
       statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
       financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest
       annual report to stockholders. The results for the interim periods
       presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for
       the full fiscal year.

2.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the
       application of certain accounting policies described below:

       a.   Principles of Consolidation:  The accompanying consolidated
            financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 
            wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All material intercompany accounts and
            transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

       b.   Cash Equivalents:  Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which
            approximates market value.  Cash equivalents are short-term, highly
            liquid investments with original maturities of less than three
            months.

       c.   Marketable Securities:  Marketable securities are investments,
            consisting of U.S. Government issues and commercial paper, with
            original maturities greater than three months. Any gains or losses
            resulting from market fluctuations are charged to the consolidated
            statement of operations during the period incurred.

</TABLE>
       Work-in-process and finished goods inventories consist of material,
       labor, and manufacturing overhead.
       

  e.   Depreciation and Amortization:  The Company provides for depreciation and
       amortization using the straight-line method in amounts that allocate the
       cost of the assets to operations over their estimated useful lives as
       follows:
                                                            Estimated
                  Asset Classification                     Useful Life
                  --------------------                     -----------
         Machinery and Equipment                              5 Years
         Furniture and Fixtures                            5 - 7 Years

       Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated
       useful life or the life of the lease.

  f.   Net Loss Per Common Share:  Net loss per common share is based on the
       weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Shares of common
       stock issuable pursuant to stock options and warrants have not been
       considered, as their effect would be antidilutive.

  g.   Revenue Recognition:  The Company recognizes revenue upon product
       shipment.

  h.   Foreign Currency Transactions:  The Company charges foreign currency
       exchange gains or losses, in connection with its purchases of products
       from vendors in Japan, to operations in accordance with Financial
       Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 52.

  i.   Income Taxes: The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting
       Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires that the
       Company follow the liability method in accounting for income taxes.

       At September 30, 1996, the Company had recorded a full valuation
       allowance against its deferred tax assets, which resulted principally
       from the federal net tax operating losses offset by the tax effect of the
       differing book and tax basis of certain current assets.

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

  Results of Operations
  ---------------------

  Net sales for the three and six months ended September 30, 1996, increased
  $860,000 and $1,438,000, respectively, (or 65% and 57%, respectively), over
  the comparable prior year periods.  The increase in net sales was primarily
  attributable to a combination of medical sales increasing $667,000 and
  $1,184,000, (or 127% and 113%, respectively) and industrial sales increasing
  $194,000 and $254,000, respectively, (or 25% and 17%, respectively) over the
  comparable prior year periods.

  The increase in medical sales for the three and six months ended September 30,
  1996, as compared to the comparable prior year periods, resulted primarily
  from  the sales of the Company's ENT product line increasing $446,000 and
  $787,000, respectively, (or 161% and 140%, respectively) and sales of the
  Company's sigmoidoscope product line increasing $161,000 and $323,000,
  respectively, (or 68% and 74%, respectively).  The increase of sales of the
  ENT product line was primarily the result of the Company being able to sell
  its fiberoptic ENT scope during the first six months ended September 30, 1996
  after receiving clearance from the FDA in December 1995.  The increase in
  sales of the Company's sigmoidoscope product line was primarily the result of
  increased acceptance in the marketplace.

  Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 1996, increased to
  $166,000, or 8% of net sales, as compared to $49,000, or 4% of net sales, for
  the comparable prior year period.  Gross profit for the six months ended
  September 30, 1996 increased to $263,000, or 7% of net sales, as compared to
  $56,000, or 2% of net sales, for the comparable prior year period.  The
  increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to an increased sales
  volume and an increased efficiency in manufacturing as the product processes
  have been further refined.

  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months
  ended September 30, 1996, decreased $193,000 and $337,000, respectively, (or
  12% and 11%, respectively), and represented 63% and 71% of net sales,
  respectively, in the current year periods versus 118% and 125% of net sales,
  respectively, in the comparable prior year periods.  The decrease in these
  expenses was primarily attributable to a decrease of $148,000 and $319,000,
  respectively, (or 21% and 22%, respectively), in general and administrative
  expenses for the three and six months ended September 30, 1996, as compared to
  the comparable prior year periods.  The decrease in general and administrative
  expenses was primarily the result of lower payroll costs due to reduced
  headcount in the financial and administrative areas.  Selling and marketing
  expenses decreased $45,000 and $19,000, respectively, (or 5% and 1%,
  respectively), for the three and six months ended September 30, 1996, as
  compared to the comparable prior year periods.  The decrease in selling and
  marketing expenses was primarily due to lower spending on outside services
  which was partially offset by the costs associated with four additional direct
  sales representatives.

  Research and development expenses for the three and six months ended September
  30, 1996, increased $104,000 and $124,000, respectively, (or 23% and 11%,
  respectively), and represented 25% and 31% of net sales for the three and six
  months ended September 30, 1996, respectively, versus 34% and 43% of net
  sales, respectively, in the comparable prior year periods.  The increase in
  these expenses during the six months ended September 30, 1996, was the result
  of the Company continuing to focus on research and development in order to
  improve its existing products as well as bring new products to market.

  Results of Operations (Continued)
  ---------------------            

  Interest income, net, for the three and six months ended September 30, 1996,
  decreased $40,000 and $75,000, respectively, as compared to the comparable
  prior year periods, primarily due to the lower cash and marketable securities
  balances as a result of the Company's continued losses.

  Other income (expense) net, for the six months ended September 30, 1996,
  increased $8,000 as compared to the comparable prior year periods primarily
  due to increased royalty income.


  Liquidity and Capital Resources
  -------------------------------

  As of September 30, 1996, the Company had $814,000 in cash and cash
  equivalents, $2,197,000 in marketable securities and working capital of
  $3,180,000.  The Company also has a cash collateralized demand bank line of
  credit for up to $1,000,000 (which had approximately $916,000 available at
  September 30, 1996) subject to renewal in January 1997, for use in support of
  general working capital needs and the issuance of commercial and standby
  letters of credit.  The Company's cash, cash equivalents, and marketable
  securities decreased $2,855,000 since March 31, 1996.

  As of September 30, 1996, the Company's inventories had decreased $297,000 to
  $1,507,000 as compared to $1,804,000 at March 31, 1996.  The decrease was
  primarily attributable to lower raw material stock as a result of increased
  sales volume. The Company's capital expenditures during the six months ended
  September 30, 1996 were $84,000.  The Company anticipates that capital
  expenditures for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1997 will total
  approximately $500,000.

  The Company has incurred losses since its inception and losses are expected to
  continue at least through fiscal year 1997.  The Company has funded the losses
  principally from the proceeds from public and private equity financings.  The
  Company will be required to obtain additional financing or an alternative
  means of support; however, there can be no assurances that such funding or
  financial support will be available or adequate to allow the Company to
  continue as a going concern.  The Company is currently pursuing various
  sources of financial support.  In the event that these or other plans are not
  successful, there is substantial doubt concerning the Company's ability to
  continue as a going concern.
