1. General

     The consolidated condensed financial statements as of March 31, 1996
     and for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 are unaudited.
     In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal
     recurring accruals, necessary for the fair presentation of the
     consolidated financial position and results of operations and cash
     flows for the periods presented have been included.  Results for
     interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be
     expected for the full fiscal year.

     These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in
     conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related
     notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Healthdyne
     Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") for the year ended December 31,
     1995.

2.   Earnings Per Share of Common Stock

     Primary earnings per common share and common share equivalent are
     based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding and common
     share equivalents derived from dilutive stock options.  Fully diluted
     earnings per share are not significantly different from primary
     earnings per share.

3.   License Agreement

     In April, 1996 the Company entered into a license agreement under
     which the rights to certain proprietary ventilator technologies were
     acquired.  The license fees are payable over time, up to a maximum of
     approximately $4,900.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                             (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS)

General

     Except for the historical information contained herein, the following
discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks
and uncertainties.  Factors which could cause the Company's actual results in
future periods to differ materially include, but are not limited to, those
discussed below, as well as those discussed or identified from time to time
in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
including, but not limited to, the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.

     The Company's revenues are derived from sales of technologically
advanced medical devices primarily for use in the home and alternate care
sites.  These products include diagnostic and therapeutic devices for the
evaluation and treatment of sleep disorders, oxygen concentrators,
noninvasive ventilators, medication nebulizers, peak flow meters and drug
delivery systems for the treatment of respiratory disorders, and monitors for
infants at risk for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome ("SIDS"), as well as a
limited line of obstetrical care products.  The Company markets its products,
both domestically and internationally, through a dedicated sales force and a
network of independent manufacturers' representatives and distributors.

     The Company's present operations and future prospects may be influenced
by several factors, including developments in the healthcare industry, third
party reimbursement policies and practices, and changes in regulatory
requirements with respect to approval and sale of medical devices.  As a
result of the increasing cost of health care in the United States, government
and third party payors are becoming increasingly focused on promoting
cost-effective health care services, and payors in particular have become
more involved in decisions regarding diagnosis and treatment to ensure that
care is delivered in a cost-effective manner.  As a result of this focus on
cost-effective healthcare delivery, the Company believes that home-based
services and medical products will continue to provide a viable
cost-effective alternative to treatment in traditional institutional care
settings in many instances.  There is no assurance, however, that the
increased focus on healthcare expenditures will not decrease the availability
of certain equipment, therapies or services offered by the Company.

     The Company's success is dependent to a large extent upon the ability of
its customers to obtain adequate reimbursement from third-party payors, such
as government and private insurance programs, for procedures using the
Company's products.  For example, Congress passed legislation in December
1995 (which was vetoed by the President) which would have imposed a plan for
balancing the federal budget over a seven year period.  The plan included
major reductions in Medicare and Medicaid expenditures and would have reduced
Medicare payment rates for oxygen by 20% beginning in 1996, gradually rising
to 30% by 2002.  President Clinton's budget plan contained similar
provisions, as well as competitive bidding for selected items of equipment,
which would include oxygen.  While Congress recently enacted appropriations
legislation for the remainder of the current fiscal year which did not
include long-term medical payment reductions, similar proposals will likely
be included as part of future budget legislation.  Similarly, the Health Care
Financing Administration ("HCFA") has announced a plan to adjust Medicare
payment amounts for oxygen and oxygen equipment on the grounds that such
amounts are not "inherently reasonable".  Before making any such adjustments,
the HCFA will need to consider specific economic factors and provide notice
and an opportunity for public comment.  While this plan could be superseded
by Congressional action, the HCFA intends to issue a proposed rule with
potential reductions in oxygen payments in the ranges contained in the seven
year budget plan.  Reductions in the reimbursement rates that the Company's
customers receive for services rendered could have an adverse impact on the
Company.  The Company, however, is hopeful that the overall cost-effective
nature of diagnosis and treatment in the home will be recognized by any new
initiatives.


     The Company's business also may be affected by changes in government
regulation to which the Company's products are subject or changes in the
manner in which such regulations are enforced or medical devices are
approved.  The Food and Drug Administration recently published for comment
proposed performance standards for monitors for infants at risk for SIDS.
The Company is unable to predict whether, or in what form, these performance
standards ultimately will be adopted, but anticipates that it should be able
to design and manufacture products that will comply with any such standards.

     A number of businesses within the healthcare industry, including in some
instances customers of the Company, recently have begun to consolidate in
order, among other things, to increase the size, efficiency and purchasing
power of the entities in question, to broaden the number and nature of
products and services offered to consumers or simply to better serve the
changing healthcare industry with its focus upon cost-effective medical care.
The Company's two largest home care dealer customers, both of which were
publicly held and had branch locations throughout the U.S., merged in August
1995.  The Company expects that consolidation among home care dealers is
likely to continue; however, the Company cannot predict the effect of such
mergers and consolidations on its business or distribution channels.

     The Company acquired HealthScan Products during 1994 in an effort to
broaden its product offerings and will continue to examine possible
candidates for acquisitions in the future should the opportunity arise.  No
assurances, however, can be given that any such acquisitions will be
consummated by the Company or, if consummated, that they will be financially
or operationally successful.

     On May 22, 1995, Healthdyne, Inc. ("Healthdyne") consummated a
transaction pursuant to which the 10,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock
owned at that time by Healthdyne were distributed to Healthdyne's
shareholders as a tax-free dividend (the "Spin-off").  In an effort to
facilitate the Spin-off, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a
special stock option plan pursuant to which options to purchase 1,344 shares
of the Company's common stock were granted to holders, including employees of
the Company, of outstanding Healthdyne stock options.  The Company believes
the Spin-off has been and will continue to be beneficial to the Company in
that, among other things, it will increase the number of shares of common
stock of the Company available for trading and is expected to permit the
Company to raise capital more economically and with less restrictions than if
it were a subsidiary of Healthdyne.

     Although the Company derives a portion of its revenues from foreign
customers, substantially all of these sales have historically been invoiced
in U.S. Dollars and therefore the Company has not been exposed to any
significant foreign exchange rate risk.  The Company does not expect that a
significant portion of its foreign sales in the future will be invoiced in
currencies other than U.S. Dollars and therefore does not anticipate that it
will be exposed to a material amount of exchange rate risk.  However, no
assurance can be given that this will be the case.

     The following discussion of the Company's financial condition and
results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial
information included herein and the Company's consolidated financial
statements and related notes presented in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995 as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

</TABLE>


     Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996 decreased 1% to
$27,482, from $27,664 in the equivalent period in 1995.  This slight decrease
in revenues was principally due to lower revenue in the Company's respiratory
therapy product line, mitigated somewhat by revenue growth in other areas.
Revenues from the respiratory therapy product line decreased 10% in the first
quarter of 1996, as compared to the first quarter of 1995.  This decrease was
primarily due to lower unit sales of oxygen concentrators, partially offset
by sales of the Company's noninvasive ventilator, QuantumTM, which was
introduced in late 1995.  The decrease in oxygen concentrator volume was due
to a significant reduction in sales to the Company's largest domestic
customer combined with a slowdown in purchases by many smaller customers. The
Company believes that these reductions in purchases have resulted in part
from changes in purchasing habits and concerns over potential changes in
government reimbursement for oxygen.  Revenues from the sleep disorders
product line increased 15% in the first quarter of 1996 over the comparable
period in 1995 primarily due to the continued growth of the TranquilityR CPAP
System coupled with sales of the NightWatch and AliceR sleep diagnostic
systems.  The infant monitor product line increased revenue by 10% in the
three months ended March 31, 1996 over the year-earlier period primarily due
to achieving greater market share.

     The Company's gross profit margins increased almost 4 percentage points
to 42% during the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the three
months ended March 31, 1995.  This increase was primarily due to the results
of the Company's cost reduction program begun during the first quarter of
1995 and to the shift in product sales mix towards higher margin products,
such as sleep disorders products.

     Selling and administrative expenses increased slightly as a percentage
of revenues in the first quarter of 1996 as compared to the first quarter of
1995 due primarily to the expansion of the sales staff and expenses to
support the Company's entry into the noninvasive ventilation market.

     Research and development expenses as a percentage of revenues increased
in the three months ended March 31, 1996 from the year-earlier period
primarily due to the addition of engineering staff and engineering project
costs related principally to the development and introduction of new
products.

     The increase in interest expense for the three months ended March 31,
1996 as compared to the same period in 1995 was primarily due to higher
average balances outstanding under the Company's bank credit agreement.

     The effective income tax rate remained constant at 39.5% in the first
quarter of both 1996 and 1995.

     Until May 22, 1995, the Company's provision for income taxes was
determined based upon a tax sharing arrangement with Healthdyne due to the
inclusion of the Company's operating results in Healthdyne's consolidated tax
return.  Under the arrangement, the Company's provision for income taxes has
been determined as if the Company had filed separate federal

                                       10


<PAGE>   11


and state corporate income tax returns.  Such provision may not reflect the
Company's actual tax rate had it not been consolidated with Healthdyne for
tax purposes.

     The Company had deferred tax assets of $1,510 at March 31, 1996, which
resulted from allowances for uncollectible accounts and accruals and reserves
recorded for financial statement purposes but not yet deducted for income tax
purposes.  Management believes such deferred tax assets will be recoverable
through reduced income taxes payable in future periods.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company had working capital of approximately $38,400 as of March 31,
1996 and the current ratio was 3.0 to 1.0.

     Cash flow provided by operations was $2,997 in the three months ended
March 31, 1996, compared to cash flow used in operations of $1,028 in the three
months ended March 31, 1995. The change is principally a result of the decrease
in the Company's trade accounts and notes receivable.  Cash used in investing
activities remained relatively constant in the three months ended March 31,
1996 as compared to the same period in 1995.

     The Company entered into a Secured Revolving Credit Agreement in June
1993 (the "Credit Agreement") with two commercial banks and in December 1994
entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement which increased the total
commitment from $15,000 to $25,000.  During the last half of 1995, the Credit
Agreement was amended again to add a third bank to the Agreement and to
increase the total commitment to $35,000.  This facility, which will
terminate on June 30, 1997, may be used for general corporate purposes, with
borrowings limited to a borrowing base established by a formula.  This
facility is secured by all accounts receivable, inventory, deposit accounts
and all intangible assets of the Company and contains various covenants,
including but not limited to, net worth and financial ratio requirements.
The Company had outstanding borrowings of $26,000 under its line of credit at
interest rates ranging from 7.41% to 8.75% as of March 31, 1996.

     The Company believes that its existing cash balances, together with
internally generated funds and remaining amounts available under its Credit
Agreement, will be sufficient to meet the Company's operating capital
requirements for at least the next twelve months.  Additional indebtedness
and/or equity, in all likelihood, would be needed to finance possible
acquisitions should the Company decide to pursue such transactions in the
future.

     As of March 31, 1996, the Company had outstanding commitments for
capital expenditures of approximately $500 relating primarily to
manufacturing tooling.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ("SFAS 121"), "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be
Disposed Of" and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS
123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation".  Had SFAS 121 or SFAS 123
been implemented as of March 31, 1996 by the Company there would have been no
material effect to the consolidated financial statements.

                                  SHAREHOLDERS


     Section 1. Annual Meeting.  The annual meeting of the shareholders for the
election of Directors and for the transaction of such other business as may
properly come before the meeting shall be held at such place, either within or
without the State of Georgia, on such date and at such time as the Board of
Directors may by resolution provide, or if the Board of Directors fails to
provide, then such meeting shall be held at the principal office of the
Corporation at 10:00 a.m. on the fourth Tuesday in April of each year or such
other date as the Board of Directors shall direct.  The Board of Directors may
specify by resolution prior to any special meeting of shareholders held within
the year that such meeting shall be in lieu of the annual meeting.

     Section 2.  Special Meeting; Call and Notice of Meetings.  Special
meetings of the shareholders may be called at any time by the Board of
Directors, the Chairman of the Board of Directors or the President.  The
Corporation shall call a special meeting of shareholders upon written request
of the holders of at least sixty percent (60%) of the outstanding Common Stock.
Such meetings shall be held at such place, either within or without the State
of Georgia, as is stated in the call and notice thereof.  Written notice of
each meeting of shareholders, stating the time and place of the meeting, and
the purpose of any special meeting, shall be mailed to each shareholder
entitled to vote at or to notice of such meeting at his address shown on the
books of the Corporation not less than ten (10) nor more than fifty (50) days
prior to such meeting unless such shareholder waives notice of the meeting.
Any shareholder may execute a waiver of notice, in person or by proxy, either
before or after any meeting, and shall be deemed to have waived notice if he is
present at such meeting in person or by proxy.  Neither the business transacted
at, nor the purpose of, any meeting need be stated in the waiver of notice of
such meeting, except that, with respect to a waiver of notice of a meeting at
which a plan of merger or consolidation is considered, information as



<PAGE>   2


required by the Georgia Business Corporation Code must be delivered to the
shareholder prior to his execution of the waiver of notice or the waiver itself
must conspicuously and specifically waive the right to such information.

     Notice of any meeting may be given by the President, the Secretary or by
the person or persons calling such meeting.  No notice need be given of the
time and place of reconvening of any adjourned meeting, if the time and place
to which the meeting is adjourned are announced at the adjourned meeting.
Business transacted at any special meeting shall be limited to the purposes set
forth in the notice.

     Section 3. Quorum; Required Shareholder Vote.  A quorum for the
transaction of business at any annual or special meeting of shareholders shall
exist when the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote
are represented either in person or by proxy at such meeting.  If a quorum is
present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented at the
meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the
shareholders, unless a greater vote is required by law, by the Articles of
Incorporation or by these By-Laws.  When a quorum is once present to organize a
meeting, the shareholders present may continue to do business at the meeting or
at any adjournment thereof notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough
shareholders to leave less than a quorum.  The holders of a majority of the
voting shares represented at a meeting, whether or not a quorum is present, may
adjourn such meeting from time to time.

     Section 4. Proxies.  A shareholder may vote either in person or by a proxy
which he has duly executed in writing.  No proxy shall be valid after eleven
(11) months from the date of its execution unless a longer period is expressly
provided in the proxy.

     Section 5. Action of Shareholders Without Meeting.  Any action required to
be, or which may be, taken at a meeting of the shareholders, may be taken
without a meeting if written consent, setting forth the actions so taken, shall
be signed by all of the shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the
subject matter thereof, except that, with respect to approval of a plan of
merger or consolidation by written consent, information as required by the 
Georgia Business Corporation Code must be delivered to the shareholders prior 
to their execution of the consent or the consent must conspicuously and 
specifically waive the right to such information.  Such consent shall 


                                       2

<PAGE>   3


have the same force and effect as a unanimous affirmative vote of the 
shareholders and shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the 
shareholders.

     Section 6.  Notice of Business.  No business may be transacted at
an annual meeting of shareholders, other than business that is either
(a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given
by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or any duly authorized
committee thereof), (b) otherwise properly brought before the annual
meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or any duly
authorized committee thereof) or (c) otherwise properly brought before
the annual meeting by any shareholder of the Corporation (i) who is a
shareholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided
for in this Section 6 and on the record date for the determination of
shareholders entitled to vote at such annual meeting and (ii) who
complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 6.  The
nomination by a shareholder of any person for election as a director,
other than the persons nominated by the Board of Directors or any duly
authorized committee thereof, shall be considered business other than
business specified in clauses (a) and (b) above and shall be permitted
only upon compliance with the requirements of this Section 6.

     In addition to any other applicable requirements for business to be
properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder, such
shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form
to the Secretary of the Corporation.

     To be timely, a shareholder's notice to the Secretary must be  delivered 
to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation
not less than sixty (60) days nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the 
anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of shareholders; 
provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is called for a 
date that is not within thirty (30) days before or after such anniversary date,
notice by the shareholder in order to be timely must be so received not later 
than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which 
such notice of the 


                                       3


<PAGE>   4
date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure of the date of 
the annual meeting was made, whichever first occurs.

     To be in proper written form, a shareholder's notice to the
Secretary must set forth as to each matter such shareholder proposes to
bring before the annual meeting (i) a brief description of the business
described to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for
conducting such business at the annual meeting, (ii) the name and record
address of such shareholder, (iii) the class or series and number of
shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially
or of  record by such shareholder, (iv) a description of all
arrangements or understandings between such shareholder and any other
person or persons (including their names) in connection with the
proposal of such business by such shareholder and any material interest
of such shareholder in such business, (v) a representation that such
shareholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual
meeting to bring such business before the meeting, and (vi) in the case
of the nomination of a person as a director, a brief description of the
background and credentials of such person including (A) the name, age,
business address and residence address of such person, (B) the principal
occupation or employment of such person, (C) the class and number of
shares of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by such person,
and (D) any other information relating to such person that is required
to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors,
or as otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (including without
limitation such person's written consent to being named in the proxy
statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected).

     No business shall be conducted at the annual meeting of
shareholders except business brought before the annual meeting in
accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 6; provided,
however, that, once business has been properly brought before the annual
meeting in accordance with such procedures, nothing in this Section 6
shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any shareholder of any such business.
If the Chairman of an annual meeting


                                       4


<PAGE>   5

determines that business was not properly brought before the meeting in
accordance with the foregoing procedures, the Chairman shall declare to the
meeting that the business was not properly brought before the meeting and such
business shall not be transacted."


                                   ARTICLE II

                                   DIRECTORS


     Section 1. Power of Directors.  The Board of Directors shall manage the
business of the Corporation and may exercise all powers of the Corporation,
subject to any restrictions imposed by law, by the Articles of Incorporation or
by these By-Laws.

     Section 2. Composition of the Board.  The size of the Board of Directors
of the Corporation shall be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors
and shall consist of not less than three (3) or more than nine (9) natural
persons of the age of eighteen years or over, except that if all of the shares
of the Corporation are owned beneficially and of record by less than
shareholders, the number of directors may be less than three but not less than
the number of shareholders.  Directors need not be residents of the State of
Georgia or shareholders of the Corporation.  At each annual meeting of the
shareholders, the shareholders shall elect Directors who shall serve until
their successors are elected and qualified; provided that the shareholders may,
by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to
vote at an election of Directors, increase or reduce the number of Directors or
add or remove Directors with or without cause at any time.

     Section 3. Meetings of the Board; Notice; Notice of Meetings; Waiver of
Notice.  The annual meeting of the Board of Directors for the purpose of
electing officers and transacting such other business as may be brought before
the meeting shall be held each year immediately following the annual meeting of
shareholders.  The Board of Directors may by resolution provide for the time
and place of other regular meetings and no notice of such regular meetings need
be given.  Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the 
Chairman of the Board of Directors, by the President or by any two Directors, 
and written notice of the time and place of such 


                                       5


<PAGE>   6


meetings shall be given to each Director by first class or air mail at least 
two (2) days before the meeting or by telephone, telegraph, cablegram or in 
person at least one (1) day before the meeting.  Any Director may execute a 
waiver of notice, either before or after any meeting, and shall be deemed to 
have waived notice if he is present at such meeting.  Neither the business to 
be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any meeting of the Board of Directors 
need be stated in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.  Any meeting 
may be held at any place within or without the State of Georgia.

     Section 4. Quorum; Vote Requirement.  A majority of the Directors in
office at any time shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at
any meeting.  When a quorum is present, the vote of a majority of the Directors
present shall be the act of the Board of Directors, unless a greater vote is
required by law, by the Articles of Incorporation or by these By-Laws.

     Section 5. Action of Board Without Meeting.  Any action required or
permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee
thereof may be taken without a meeting if written consent, setting forth the
action so taken, is signed by all the Directors or committee members and filed
with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee.
Such consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous affirmative
vote of the Board of Directors or committee, as the case may be.

     Section 6. Committees.  The Board of Directors, by resolution adopted by a
majority of all of the Directors, may designate from among its members an
Executive Committee, and/or other committees, each composed of two (2) or more
Directors, which may exercise such authority as is delegated by the Board of
Directors, provided that no committee shall have the authority of the Board of

Directors and Secretary, or President and Secretary.  The Board of Directors
may designate a Vice President as an Executive Vice President and may designate

President.

     Section 7. Removal of Officers.  Any officer may be removed at any time by
the Board of Directors, and such vacancy may be filled by the Board of
Directors.  This provision shall not prevent the making of a contract of
employment for a definite term with any officer and shall have no effect upon
any cause of action which any officer may have as a result of removal in breach
of a contract of employment.

represented, and the date of issue; and which shall be signed by the Chairman
of the Board of Directors or President and the Secretary or an Assistant

Corporation of the certificates or certificates representing the shares to be
transferred accompanied by an assignment in writing of such shares properly
executed by the shareholder of record or his duly authorized attorney-in-fact
and with all taxes on the transfer having been paid.  The Corporation may
refuse any requested transfer until furnished evidence satisfactory to it that
such transfer is proper.  Upon the surrender of a certificate for transfer of
stock, such certificate shall at once be conspicuously marked on its face
"Canceled" and filed with the permanent stock records of the Corporation.  The
Board of Directors may make such additional rules concerning the issuance,
transfer and registration of stock and requirements regarding the establishment
of lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken stock certificates (including any
requirement of an indemnity bond prior to issuance of any replacement
certificate) as it deems appropriate.

     Section 3. Registered Shareholders.  The Corporation may deem and treat
the holder of record of any stock as the absolute owner for all purposes and

less than ten (10) days prior to the date on which the particular action,
requiring such determination of shareholders, is to be taken.

     Any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to
any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (including any action by or in the
right of the Corporation), by reason of the fact that he is or was a director
or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the 
Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified by the Corporation 
against expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees), judgments, fines and 
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in 
connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if he acted in good faith and 
in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best 
interests of the Corporation (and with respect to any criminal action or 
proceeding, if he 


                                       10

had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful), to the maximum

shareholders.  The shareholders may prescribe that any by-law or by-laws
adopted by them shall not be altered, amended or repealed by the Board of
Directors.  Action by the Directors with respect to the By-Laws shall be taken

Articles of Incorporation to the contrary, the provisions of Section 14-2-1131
through 14-2-1133 of the Georgia Business Corporation Code (the "Code"), as the
same may be amended or supplemented from time to time, shall apply to and
govern those transactions of the Corporation which constitute "business
combinations" (as that term is defined in Section 14-2-1131 of the Code).  The 
provisions of this Article VIII of the By-Laws may not be repealed except in 
the manner set forth in Section 14-2-1133 of the Code.
