1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Basis Of Presentation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and 
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Endovascular, Inc., a California corporation.  
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in 
consolidation.

Although unaudited, the interim consolidated financial statements in this 
report reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, 
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement 
of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim 
periods covered and of the financial condition of the Company at the interim 
balance sheet dates.  The results of operations for the interim periods 
presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the 
entire year.

The year-end balance sheet information was derived from audited consolidated  
financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by 
generally accepted accounting principles.  These consolidated financial 
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited 
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1995.

2. Inventory:

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
                For the Period Ending June 30, 1996
                               (Unaudited)

5. Net Loss Per Share:

Net loss per share is based on the reported net loss divided by the weighted 
average number of outstanding shares.  Outstanding warrants and or options 
have not been included in this calculation as their effect would 
be anti-dilutive.

6. Investment by Ballard Medical Products:

On November 13, 1995, the Company issued and sold to Ballard Medical Products, 
a Utah corporation ("BMP") 200,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock 
("Preferred Stock") which upon conversion represents 19.5% of the  Company's 
capital stock for US$2 million pursuant to a Stock Purchase and Option 
Agreement dated July 17, 1995 (the "BMP Agreement").  Under the BMP agreement,  
BMP paid to the Company US$500,000 as nonrefundable consideration for an 
option ("BMP Option") to acquire all of the assets of the Company during the 
24 month period following the closing of the sale of the Preferred Stock.  If 
BMP exercises the BMP Option within the first twelve months after such 
closing, the asset purchase price will be US$9,500,000.   If the BMP Option 
is exercised at any time during the remainder of the option term, the asset 
purchase price will be equal to the product of two (2) multiplied by the net 
sales of the Company for the twelve (12) full calendar months immediately 
preceding the date of exercise.  BMP will receive credit for option 
consideration already paid, any liabilities assumed by BMP and loans made to 
the Company by BMP and the balance of any liquid assets retained by the 
Company at closing.  If the BMP Option is exercised and the assets are 
purchased, the Stock issued to BMP will be redeemed in cash by the Company 
at a redemption price equal to 19.5% of the Company's cash and cash 
equivalents on hand after the close of the asset sale less any retained 
liabilities. BMP has also agreed to provide a line of credit up to $500,000 
commencing eight months after the closing of the sale of Preferred Stock to 
finance operating expenses.  

Under the BMP Agreement two nominees of BMP serve on the Company's Board of 
Directors, and the Company's conduct of its business will be subject to 
certain restrictions, during the option term.  The Company will indemnify BMP 
against certain losses in connection with the transaction and 10% of the 
asset purchase price will be escrowed to secure the Company's indemnification 
obligation.

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

The Company's quarterly operating results have been and will continue to be 
affected by a wide variety of factors that could materially and adversely 
affect revenues and profitability.  These include factors relating to 
competition, such as competitive pricing pressure and the potential 
introduction of new products by competitors; manufacturing factors, including
constraints in the Company's manufacturing and assembly operations and 
shortages or increases in the prices of raw materials and components; sales 
and distribution factors, such as changes in product mix or distribution 
channels resulting in lower margins, the loss of a significant distributor or 
sales representative, product returns and exchanges; new product development 
and introduction problems, such as increased research, development, marketing 
and clinical trial expenses associated with new product introductions, and 
delays in the introduction of new products and technologies; as well as other 
factors, including levels of expenses relative to revenue levels, personnel 
changes, expenses that may be incurred in litigation, and fluctuations in 
foreign currency exchange rates.  The Company has experienced and expects to 
continue to experience significant fluctuations in operating results, and 
there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve 
profitability in the future.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial 
Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on 
Form 10-QSB.  In addition the Company desires to take advantage of certain 
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that 
provide a "safe harbor" for forward looking statements made by or on behalf of 
the Company.  Except for the historical information contained herein, the 
matters discussed herein are forward looking statements, the accuracy of 
which is necessarily subject to risk and uncertainties.  Specifically, the 
Company wishes to alert readers that the aforementioned factors as well as the 
factors set forth under "Risk Factors' contained in the Company's Annual 
Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1995, in the past have 
affected and in the future could affect the Company's actual results, and 
could cause the Company's results for future periods to differ materially 
from those expressed in any forward looking statements made by or on behalf
of the Company.

Net Sales

Net Sales increased to $557,613 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 as 
compared to $526,653 for the three months ended June 30, 1995, an increase of 
6%.  Net Sales for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased to $1,306,924 
as compared to $1,005,267 for the six months ended June 30, 1995, an increase 
of 30%.  For the quarter and year to date, the growth in sales is attributable 
to an increase in sales support staff and increasing market acceptance of the 
Company's products for neuro surgery applications.

Gross Profit

Gross Profit increased to $215,678 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 
as compared to a gross margin of $75,697 for the three months ended June 30, 
1995, an increase of 185%. Gross Profit for the six months ended June 30, 1996 
increased to $416,508 as compared to a gross margin of $174,692 for the six 
months ended June 30, 1995, an increase of 138%.  This increase in both the 
quarter and year gross profit to date was due to increased yields in 
manufacturing and the absorption of manufacturing overhead and fixed costs as 
a result of increased sales volume.

The Company expects that to the extent that sales volume increases and if 
there are no unexpected increases in variable costs, the fixed costs as a 
percentage of cost of goods sold may continue to decrease, which, if achieved, 
would result in further increases in gross margins.

While the Company currently believes it is unlikely that variable costs will
increase unexpectedly in the foreseeable future, there can be no assurance 
that such unexpected increase will not occur, and such an unexpected increase 
could prevent or delay the Company's achievement of further increases in gross 
margins.

Research and Development

Research and Development expenses represent the Company's investment in the 
advancement of less invasive technology in the fields of neuro and vascular 
surgery.  These expenses decreased to $223,451 for the three months ended 
June 30, 1996 from  $363,816 for the three months ended June 30, 1995 or a 
decrease of $140,365.  Research and Development expenses for the six months 
ended June 30, 1996 were $523,374 as compared to $784,369 for the six months 
ended June 30, 1995 or a decrease of $260,995. This decrease was due to a 
reduction in personnel and related benefit costs and decreases in expenses 
related to the Company's vascular products, including clinical and regulatory 
submissions.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and Marketing expenses were $457,357 for the three months ended 
June 30, 1996 as compared to $351,873 for the three months ended 
June 30, 1995, an increase of $105,484. Sales and Marketing expenses increased 
to $885,090 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $685,840 
for the six months ended June 30, 1995, an increase of $199,250. This increase 
was a result of increased selling costs associated with the increase in 
revenues,  increased efforts in the promotion and marketing of its products, 
attendance at and hosting of clinical education seminars, and participation 
in trade shows.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $197,023 for the three months ended 
June 30, 1996 as compared to $284,212 for the three months ended 
June 30, 1995 a decrease of $87,189. General and administrative expenses were 
$444,852 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $530,122 for 
the six months ended June 30, 1995 a decrease of $85,270. The decrease for the 
six months and quarter was due primarily to lower insurance premiums for 
product liability coverage and Directors and Officers liability insurance.

Net Loss

Net Loss for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was $696,580 as compared to 
$923,491 for the three months ended June 30, 1995 an decrease of $226,911.  
The Net Loss for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $1,480,655 as compared 
to $1,786,218 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 a decrease of $306,563. 
The decrease for the six months and  quarter is attributable to increased 
sales and gross margins combined with an overall reduction in operating 
expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has a working capital deficit of ($33,372) at June 30, 1996 as 
compared to working capital of $1,411,697 at December 31, 1995, or a decrease 
of $1,445,069. The Company expects to incur substantial additional operating 
losses as a result of expenditures related to the marketing and sales support 
functions, research and product development activities, completion and 
initiation of clinical trials for current and future products and 
establishment of increased manufacturing capacity.  The timing and amounts of 
these expenditures will depend upon many factors, some of which are beyond the 
Company's control, such as the results of clinical trials, the requirements 
for and time required to obtain approval of 510(k) applications or other 
regulatory approvals, the progress of the Company's research and development 
programs, and market acceptance of the Company's products.
                               
                               10 of 27
<PAGE>

The Company's cash resources are minimal and through the period ending 
July 17, 1996 the Company has borrowed $1,735,000 from BMP to fund operations. 
The BMP Agreement provided for a line of credit up to $500,000 to finance 
operating expenses. The Company began borrowings against this credit facility 
in January 1996 and as of July 17, 1996 the Company has borrowed  $1,235,000 
in addition to the line of credit for a total of $1,735,000.  There is no 
guarantee that BMP will continue funding operations of the Company. 

The Company currently has no commitments for any other credit facilities such 
as revolving loans or lines of credit that could provide additional working 
capital.   Given the current sales volume and applications of cash, the 
Company expects that further capital additions will be necessary to sustain 
growth until the Company becomes cash positive.  In this respect, the 
Company is considering a number of alternatives, including additional equity 
financings, corporate partnerships and a separate financing of its vascular 
subsidiary.  There can be no assurance that any such transactions will be 
available at terms acceptable to the Company or that any financing transaction 
will not be dilutive to current stockholders or that the Company will have
sufficient working capital to fund future operations.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
      
Items 1,2,3, and 4 are not applicable and have been omitted.

Item 5. Other Information

As described in Note 6 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements set 
forth above, on November 13, 1995, Ballard Medical Products, a Utah 
corporation ("BMP"), obtained the option to acquire all of the Company's 
assets during the 24-month period commencing November 13, 1995.  The option 
was approved by the Company's stockholders at a special meeting on November 
13, 1995.  BMP has indicated an interest in exercising the option and selling 
the acquired assets (collectively a "Transaction") and with the assistance 
of the Company, retained a financial advisor to assist in arranging a 
Transaction.  In an effort to encourage a group of 27 key employees of the 
Company (including the Company's executive officers) to remain with the 
Company until consummation of a Transaction, and perhaps for a limited time 
thereafter, BMP and the Company entered into an Agreement effective May 7, 
1996 (the "May Agreement") for the benefit of such employees which provides 
for BMP's allocation to such employees of a portion of the excess, if any, of 
BMP's aggregated proceeds from the Transaction over the option exercise
price, certain fees and expenses and certain other adjustments.  The aggregate 
amount paid by BMP to the employees is determined by reference to such net 
proceeds to BMP, and the allocation of such net proceeds among the employees 
is based on percentages specified in the May Agreement, which were determined 
by reference to factors such as options held, seniority and term of employment 
with the Company.

Item 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K 

 a. Exhibits
  
    10.   Agreement effective May 7, 1996 between the 
          Company and Ballard Medical Products.

 b. No reports on Form 8-K were filed by the Company 
    during the period covered by this report.

Ballard; and

  (e) Any and all sums payable to the Management Team 
pursuant to the foregoing paragraphs shall be immediately paid and 
distributed directly by Ballard, or at the request of Ballard, by 
Purchaser in accordance with the allocations set forth in Exhibit 
C.  Any and all such payments shall be made contemporaneously with 
and as a part of the closing of the Transaction.

  5. Right of Contribution. 

  (a) The parties are jointly and severally liable to 
Vector for various matters under the Engagement Letter and under 
the Indemnity Letter.  The parties desire to allocate 
responsibility for such joint and several liability and indemnity 
obligations.  
                               16 of 27
<PAGE>
  
  (b) The parties intend that fees and expenses incurred 
by Ballard under the Engagement Letter and Losses paid or incurred 
by either party under the Indemnity Letter are to be reimbursed to 
them out of the proceeds of the consummated transaction 
contemplated in the Engagement Letter.

  (c) If the proceeds of any Transaction are not 
sufficient to cover such fees, expenses, and Losses then each shall 
have a right of contribution against the other for such fees, 
expenses, and Losses in order to achieve the following:

   (i) All Losses will be allocated and shared in 
proportion to the relative amount of Net proceeds received by the 
Company (i.e., the Management Team) and Ballard.

   (ii) All fees and expenses under the Engagement 
Letter shall be paid solely by Ballard.

  (d) If no Transaction is consummated, then each shall 
have a right of contribution against the other for any such fees, 
expenses, and Losses in order to achieve the following:

   (i) All Losses will be allocated and shared in 
proportion to the relative fault of the Company and Ballard as 
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, if any.  If 
neither party is at fault, then such Losses shall be allocated and 
shared equally.

   (ii) All fees and expenses under the Engagement 
Letter shall be paid solely by Ballard.

  6. Relationship.  The parties do not intend to be and are 
not partners or joint venturers.

  7. Notices.  Except as otherwise provided, all notices and 
other communications which are required or permitted hereunder 
shall be in writing and sufficient if delivered personally or sent 
by a nationally recognized overnight express carrier for next-day 
delivery (charges prepaid) or by registered or certified mail, 
postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

Neuro Navigational Corporation

Costa Mesa, CA  92626 
 
Attention: William J. Worthen 
  President and Chief Executive Officer 
 
Ballard Medical Products 
12050 Lone Peak Parkway 
Draper, UT  84020 
 
Attention: Dale H. Ballard 
  Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer 
 
Gentlemen:  
 
 (I) This is to confirm our understanding that Vector Securities 
 International, Inc. ("Vector") has  been engaged as exclusive financial 
 advisor of Ballard Medical Products ("Ballard") and Neuro Navigational  
 Corporation (the "Company") (both companies are hereinafter collectively 
 referred to as the "Parties") for a period  of one year commencing with the 
 Parties' acceptance of this agreement (the "Initial Period") for the purpose 
 of  assisting the Parties' in conducting discussions and negotiations 
 leading to:  (i) the consummation of a sale of  greater than a majority of 
 the business, assets, or stock of the Company which sale might also involve 
 the sale of all  or a portion of Ballard's option to purchase the Company 
 (the "Ballard Option"); and/or (ii) the consummation of  one or more 
 Strategic Alliance (as described in Paragraph IV below) or similar 
 transactions involving less than a majority of the business, assets, or 
 stock of the Company.  In its role as exclusive financial advisor, Vector 
 will  assist the Parties in: (a) identifying prospective acquirors or 
 partners; (b) preparing appropriate marketing  materials; (c) conducting 
 discussions and negotiations looking toward the consummation of one 
 or more  transaction(s); and (d) if requested by the Parties, providing, in 
 accordance with our customary practice, an opinion  (the "Opinion") to the 
 Board of Directors of Ballard with respect to the adequacy or fairness, from 
 a financial point  of view, to Ballard and its shareholders, of the 
 consideration to be paid in a Sale (as defined below), it being  understood 
 that the Opinion shall be in such form as Vector shall determine and Vector 
 may qualify the Opinion in  such manner as Vector believes appropriate.  The 
 Opinion shall not address Ballard's underlying business decision  to effect a 
 Sale.  Vector's engagement hereunder may be extended for additional periods 
 under the terms set forth  herein upon the mutual written agreement of Vector 
 and the Parties.  This Initial Period and any extensions thereof  are 
 hereinafter referred to as the "Engagement Period." 
 
 (II)  The Parties will pay a non-refundable retainer fee of $125,000, such 
 fee to be payable in cash  promptly upon the execution of this agreement.  
 Such retainer fee will be credited against any additional fees paid to Vector 
 pursuant to paragraphs (V) or (VI) this agreement.  The Parties also agree 
 to pay all of our reasonable  out-of-pocket expenses up to a maximum of 
 $20,000 (the "Expense Cap"), including fees and disbursements of our  
 counsel; such expenses to be paid in cash upon submission of a bill or bills 
 by us from time to time.  Vector agrees that it will not make any 
 expenditures in excess of the Expense Cap without the Parties' prior written 
 approval,  which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.      

                               20 of 27

 (III) In addition to the fees provided in paragraph (II) above, the Parties 
 will pay Vector a fee of  $250,000 upon the date on which Vector advises 
 Ballard that it is prepared to deliver the Opinion. Such opinion  fee shall 
 be credited against any additional fees paid to Vector pursuant to 
 paragraphs (V) or (VI) of this Agreement. 
 
 (IV) Vector will conduct such financial review of the Company and its 
 businesses and operations as  Vector deems necessary and feasible for 
 purposes of rendering the Opinion.  Such review will be based upon an  
 analysis of publicly available information and such other information as 
 shall be supplied to Vector by the Parties.   Vector is not assuming any 
 responsibility for making or obtaining an independent valuation or appraisal 
 of the  assets or liabilities of the Company or any other entity.  
 
 (V) If a sale, merger, consolidation, tender offer, business combination or 
 similar transaction  involving greater than a majority of the business, 
 assets, or stock of the Company, including a sale of any option or  right to 
 acquire a majority of the business, assets or stock of the Company 
 (a "Sale") is entered into or consummated (i) within the Engagement Period 
 with any party, or (ii) not later than one year after the expiration  of 
 such Engagement Period with a party (or any entity controlled by or 
 affiliated with such party) identified by  Vector in writing and 
 acknowledged by Ballard (which shall include those parties contacted by 
 Vector on behalf of  the Parties prior to the end of the Engagement Period)
 then Vector will be paid a fee equal to the greater of  $500,000 or 5% of 
 the aggregate consideration to be paid by the acquiror or its shareholders 
 in such transaction, such fee to be payable in cash promptly upon the 
 closing of such transaction.  In the event that the Sale is  consummated 
 through more than one closing or with more than one acquiror, the Parties 
 agree that the aggregate  consideration used to calculate Vector's fee 
 hereunder shall be the sum total of the aggregate consideration paid or to 
 be paid in each such closing by each such acquiror.  For the purpose of 
 calculating our fee under this Paragraph  (III), the aggregate consideration 
 paid with respect to the business, assets, stock, options, warrants or 
 other  securities of the Company or the Ballard Option shall be equal to the 
 total of all cash, assets, stock, options,  warrants or other securities 
 paid by the acquiror.  Aggregate consideration shall also include: (a) any 
 commercial  bank, capital lease obligations or other indebtedness that is 
 repaid or for which the responsibility to pay is assumed  by the acquiror in 
 connection with the Sale; (b) the greater of the stated value or the 
 liquidation value of preferred  stock that is assumed or acquired by the 
 acquiror that is not converted into common stock upon the consummation  
 of such transaction; and (c) future payments for which the acquiror is 
 obligated either absolutely or upon the  attainment of milestones, financial 
 results, or other future events ("Acquiror Future Payments").  The fee paid 
 to  Vector as a result of Acquiror Future Payments shall be paid when such 
 Acquiror Future Payments are made.  It is  further understood that aggregate 
 consideration shall not be reduced by the amount of the fee due Vector 
 hereunder.  For the purpose of calculating our fee, securities constituting 
 part of aggregate consideration that are  traded on a national securities 
 exchange or the Nasdaq National Market shall be valued at the last closing 
 price thereof prior to the date of the consummation or closing of any 
 such transaction.  Such securities which are traded over-the-counter shall 
 be valued at the mean between the latest bid and asked prices prior to such 
 date.  Any debt or other securities of the acquiror shall be valued at their 
 fair market value.  In the event a Sale is consummated through a multiple-step
 transaction wherein the  acquiror is obligated either absolutely or upon the
 attainment of milestones,  financial results, or other future events to make 
 future payments to further  increase its ownership in the  Company (the 
 "Acquiror Multiple-Step  Payments"), the Parties agree to pay Vector a fee
 on such Acquiror  Multiple-Step Payments, and such fee shall be calculated
 pursuant to this paragraph (III).  Such fee shall be payable when such
 Acquiror Multiple-Step  Payments are made and shall be in addition to the
 fee paid to Vector in the earlier step(s) of such transaction.  
                              
                               21 of 27

 (VI) If an agreement for a Strategic Alliance is entered into or 
 consummated (i) within the  Engagement Period with any party, or (ii) not 
 later than one year after the termination of such Engagement Period  with a 
 party (or any entity controlled by or affiliated with such party) identified 
 by Vector in writing and  acknowledged by Ballard (which shall include those 
 parties contacted by Vector on behalf of the Parties prior to the  end of 
 the Engagement Period) Vector will be paid a fee equal to the greater of 
 $500,000 or 5% of the aggregate  consideration to be paid by the Partner in 
 each such transaction, such fee to be payable in cash at the time of the  
 closing of each such Strategic Alliance.  The type of transaction 
 contemplated by a Strategic Alliance will include,  but is not limited to: 
 (i) a joint venture, partnership, license or other contract or agreement 
 relating to the  development, manufacturing, marketing, distribution, sale 
 or other activity relating to the Company's present or  future products, 
 services, technology or the like; (ii) the purchase or commitment by the 
 Partner to purchase less  than a majority of the business, assets or stock 
 of the Company; (iii) the sale of any rights in respect to the  Company's 
 products, services, technologies or the like; and (iv) a commitment 
 to provide funding for all or part of  the Company's research and development
 activities.  For the purpose of calculating our fee hereunder, aggregate  
 consideration shall include, but not be limited to: (a) all payments made at 
 closing for equity securities, equity  security rights or similar rights; 
 (b) technology access fees, licensing fees or other up-front payments; (c) 
 other  future payments for which the Partner is obligated either absolutely 
 or upon the attainment of milestones, financial  results or other future 
 events; (d) funding by the Partner (through reimbursement or otherwise) 
 relative to research  and development, clinical trials, regulatory approvals  
 and related expenditures, whether such work is performed or  managed by the 
 Company or the Partner; and (e) the repayment or assumption by the Partner 
 of obligations of the  Company or Ballard including indebtedness for money 
 borrowed or amounts owed to inventors or owners of technology.  The fee paid 
 to Vector as the result of any future rights, commitments, contingent 
 payments and the  like (together, "Strategic Alliance Future Payments") 
 which are part of the consideration, shall be paid when such Strategic 
 Alliance Future Payments are made.  For purpose of this agreement, Strategic 
 Alliance shall not include,  and Vector shall not be entitled to a fee under 
 this paragraph VI with respect to, financing for which Vector does  not 
 provide assistance raised by William J. Worthen, Ballard, and other 
 shareholders solely for the financing of a  venture to develop 
 interventional radiology and reproductive medicine applications of certain 
 of the Company's technology.  
 
 (VII) Although a number of the references herein relate to a transaction 
 with the Company, including a  possible Sale of or Strategic Alliance with 
 the Company, it is the Parties' understanding that the transaction might  
 involve the purchase of the Ballard Option to purchase the Company either in 
 whole or in part.  The transaction  could also involve another form of 
 transaction relating to the Company and/or Ballard.  Regardless of the form 
 of the transaction, the Parties agree that all consideration paid to or 
 involving Ballard, the Company, or to any of their respective shareholders 
 or employees in any transaction or series of transactions involving a Sale 
 or Strategic Alliance, shall be included in the definition of aggregate 
 consideration even if a component(s) of such  consideration does not clearly 
 fall into such definition.  Specifically, the Parties agree that if a Sale 
 involves the  sale or transfer of all or a portion of the Ballard Option (i) 
 aggregate consideration shall include the consideration paid for the Ballard 
 Option and the aggregate amount payable upon the full exercise of the Ballard 
 Option (the "Exercise Price") without taking into account any reductions of, 
 or credits against, such Exercise Price (including as a result of the 
 repayment or discharge of indebtedness, the redemption of any preferred 
 stock or other securities or the crediting of any amounts previously paid 
 with respect to the Ballard Option) and (ii) the stated value or liquidation 
 value of any preferred stock that is acquired in such Sale and redeemed in 
 connection with the exercise  of the Ballard Option shall not be added to 
 aggregate consideration.  Ballard and the Company agree to be jointly and 
 severally liable for the payment of Vector's fees and the reimbursement of 
 Vector's expenses hereunder.

 (VIII) In order to coordinate the efforts to effect a transaction 
 satisfactory to the Parties during the Engagement Period, in the event that 
 the Company or Ballard or any of their directors, management or shareholders 
 receive any meaningful inquiry or are otherwise aware of the interest of any 
 third party concerning  any transaction as contemplated in this agreement, 
 such party agrees to promptly inform Vector of the third party and its 
 interest and request that Vector perform its services as contemplated 
 hereunder.  Vector hereby acknowledges that the Parties have no obligation 
 under this letter agreement to proceed with any potential transaction 
 presented to them by Vector. 
 
 (IX) Any financial advice rendered by us pursuant to this agreement 
 (including any Opinion) may not  be disclosed publicly in any manner without 
 our prior written approval, except as required by law, and will be treated 
 by us as confidential.  The Parties will provide us with all financial and 
 other information requested by us  for the purposes of rendering our 
 services pursuant to this agreement, and shall provide Vector with 
 reasonable  access to the Parties' officers, directors, employees, 
 independent accountants and other advisors and agents as  Vector shall deem 
 appropriate.  The Parties represent that all information furnished by them 
 or on their behalf to  Vector will be accurate and complete in all material
 respects.  The Parties recognize and confirm that, in advising the Parties 
 and in completing its engagement hereunder, Vector will be using and relying 
 on publicly available  information and on data, material, and other 
 information furnished to Vector by the Parties and other parties.  It is
 understood that in performing under this engagement Vector may assume and 
 rely upon the accuracy and completeness of, and is not assuming any 
 responsibility for independent verification of, such publicly available  
 information and the other information so furnished. 
 
 (X) All non-public information given us by the Parties will be treated by us 
 as confidential.  We may  rely, without independent verification, on the 
 accuracy and completeness of all information furnished to us by the Parties 
 or any other party or potential party to any transaction contemplated 
 hereunder. 
 
 (XI) Since Vector will be acting on behalf of the Parties in connection with 
 its engagement hereunder,  the Parties and Vector have entered into a 
 separate letter agreement, dated the date hereof, providing for the 
 indemnification by the Parties of Vector and certain related entities.  A 
 copy of such letter agreement is attached to this letter.   
 
 (XII) It is understood and agreed that Vector and its affiliates may from 
 time to time make a market in, have a long or short position in, buy and
 sell or otherwise effect transactions for customer accounts and for their 
 own accounts in the securities of, or perform investment banking or other 
 services for, Ballard and other entities  which are or may be the subject of 
 the engagement contemplated by this Agreement.   
 
 (XIII) This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of 
 which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute 
 one and the same agreement.  Please confirm that the foregoing is in 
 accordance with your understanding by signing and returning to us the 
 enclosed duplicate of this letter.

 Deerfield, Illinois 60015 
 
 Gentlemen: 
 
 In connection with your engagement by us as set forth in the engagement
 letter dated the date hereof (the  "Engagement Letter"), we jointly and 
 severally hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless you and your 
 affiliates, the respective directors, officers, stockholders, agents and 
 employees of you and your affiliates and each  other person, if any, 
 controlling you or any of your affiliates (collectively referred to as 
 "you" and "your"), to the  full extent lawful, from and against all losses, 
 claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (collectively, "Losses") in-curred 
 by you (including fees and disbursements of counsel) which (i) are related 
 to or arise out of actions taken or  omitted to be taken (including any
 untrue statements made or any statements omitted to be made) by us or by you  
 with our consent or in conformity with our actions or omissions or (ii) are 
 otherwise related to or arise out of your  activities on our behalf in 
 connection with your engagement by us, and we will reimburse you for all 
 expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) as they are incurred 
 by you in connection with investigating,  preparing or defending any such 
 action or claim, whether or not in connection with pending or threatened 
 litigation in which you are a party.  We will not be responsible, however, 
 for any Losses pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence to the 
 extent such losses are finally judicially determined to have resulted from 
 your willful  misfeasance or gross negligence.  We also agree that you shall 
 not have any liability to us for or in connection with such engagement 
 except to the extent of Losses incurred by us which are finally judicially 
 determined to have  resulted from your willful misfeasance or gross 
 negligence.  We further agree that we will not, without the prior written 
 consent of Vector Securities International, Inc. ("Vector"), settle or 
 compromise or consent to the entry of  any judgment in any pending or 
 threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which 
 indemnification  may be sought hereunder (whether or not you are an actual 
 or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless such 
 settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of you 
 from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.  
 Payments pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid by us promptly upon our 
 receipt of a statement(s) from Vector setting forth the amounts with respect 
 to which indemnification and/or reimbursement is sought pursuant to this 
 paragraph. 
 
 We agree if any indemnification sought by you pursuant to this letter 
 agreement is unavailable or insufficient to hold you harmless, then (whether 
 or not Vector is the indemnified person), we and Vector will contribute to 
 the  Losses for which such indemnification is unavailable or insufficient in 
 such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to, and 
 the relative fault of, us, on the one hand, and Vector, on the other hand, 
 in connection  with Vector's engagement referred to above, subject to the 
 limitation that in any event Vector's aggregate contribution to all Losses 
 with respect to which contribution is available hereunder will not exceed 
 the amount of  fees actually received by Vector from us pursuant to Vector's 
 engagement referred to above.  Our obligations pursuant to this paragraph 
 will also be joint and several.

 agreement shall be in addition  to any rights that you may have at common 
 law or otherwise.  We hereby consent to personal jurisdiction and  service 
 and venue in any court in which any claim which is subject to this letter 
 agreement is brought against you.  This letter agreement shall be governed 
 by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois 
 without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.  Any right to trial by 
 jury with respect to any claim or proceeding related to or arising out of 
 Vector's engagement by us or this agreement is waived.  This letter 
 agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall 
 be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute  one and the same 
 agreement.

 engagement, Vector may also be engaged  to act in one or more additional 
 capacities, and that the terms of the original engagement or any such 
 additional  engagement may be embodied in one or more separate written 
 agreements.  The provisions of this letter agreement shall apply to the 
 original engagement, any such additional engagement(s) and any modification 
 of the original engagement or such additional engagement(s) and shall remain 
 in full force and effect following the completion of termination of Vector's
