3.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         The Company, in the normal course of business, is subjected to claims
and litigation in the areas of product and general liability. Management does
not believe any of such claims will have a material impact on the Company's
financial position.

4.  SEGMENT INFORMATION

         Segment information is reported by the major product lines of the
Company: knee implants, hip implants, and tissue services. The "other" category
is for minor sales categories, such as instrument rental fees and shipping
charges. The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based
on income from operations before taxes, interest income and expense, and
nonrecurring items. Intersegment sales and transfers are not significant.

         Summarized interim reporting information concerning the Company's
reportable segments is shown in the following table.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

         The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
condensed financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere herein, and
the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1999.

         The Company develops, manufactures, markets and sells orthopaedic
implant devices, related surgical instrumentation, and biologic products to
hospitals and physicians. From the introduction of the Optetrak(R) knee system
in 1995 through 1998, sales of knee implant products accounted for an increasing
portion of the Company's revenues and profits. During 1999, the Company
commenced full-scale distribution of OpteFORM(TM), a 100% biologic based
allograft tissue. During 2000, the Company anticipates initial release of a
comprehensive update of it's hip systems under the trade name AcuMatch(TM) hip
systems. The Company anticipates that sales of knee implant products will
continue to account for a major portion of its revenues and profits, although
hip and biologic products are expected to become an increasingly important part
of the Company's product lines.

         The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information
with respect to the number of units of the Company's products sold and the
dollar amount and percentages of revenues derived from such sales (dollars in
thousands):

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999

         Net sales increased by $3,136,124, or 44%, to $10,304,541 in the
quarter ended March 31, 2000, from $7,168,417 in the quarter ended March 31,
1999. The increase in net sales resulted from increased unit and dollar volume
in all of the Company's product lines. Sales of knee implant products increased
by 51% on a unit basis and by 38% on a dollar basis from the quarter ended March
31, 1999 to the quarter ended March 31, 2000. Sales of hip

                                       9

<PAGE>

implant products increased by 18% on a unit basis and by 21% on a dollar basis
from the quarter ended March 31, 1999, to the quarter ended March 31, 2000.
Revenue from providing Opteform(TM) tissue service increased by 103% from the
quarter ended March 31, 1999, to the quarter ended March 31, 2000. The Company
believes that the increase in sales is a result of its continuing focus on
marketing, specifically in increasing the number of agencies and representatives
in the field. Domestic sales increased 36% to $8,248,418 in the quarter ended
March 31, 2000, from $6,076,004 in the quarter ended March 31, 1999.
International sales grew 88% to $2,056,123 in the quarter ended March 31, 2000,
from $1,092,413 in the comparable quarter of 1999, and comprised 20% of the
Company's total sales as compared to 15% in the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

         Gross profit increased by $1,861,046, or 39%, to $6,631,382 in the
quarter ended March 31, 2000, from $4,770,336 in the quarter ended March 31,
1999, primarily as a result of an increase in total sales. As a percentage of
sales, gross profit decreased slightly to 64.4% in the quarter ended March 31,
2000, from 66.5% in the quarter ended March 31, 1999. The profit margin decrease
was primarily the result of an increase, as a percentage of total revenue, in
international sales which are sold at a lower gross margin than domestic sales.

         Total operating expenses increased by $1,580,299, or 44%, to $5,140,989
in the quarter ended March 31, 2000, from $3,560,690 in the quarter ended March
31, 1999. Sales and marketing expenses, the largest component of total operating
expenses, increased by $987,867, or 52%, to $2,885,422 in the quarter ended
March 31, 2000, from $1,897,555 in the quarter ended March 31, 1999. Sales and
marketing expenses, as a percentage of sales, increased to 28% from 26% in the
quarters ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999, respectively. The Company's
sales and marketing expenses are largely variable costs based on sales levels,
with the largest component being commissions.

         General and administrative expenses increased by $272,739, or 44%, to
$890,034 in the quarter ended March 31, 2000, from $617,295 in the quarter ended
March 31, 1999, primarily as a result of additional costs associated with the
Company's expanded shareholder relations efforts and increased legal expenses.
As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses remained constant
at 8.6% in the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

         Research and development expenses increased by $148,158, or 46%, to
$472,988 in the quarter ended March 31, 2000, from $324,830 in the quarter ended
March 31, 1999, principally the result of testing costs of new hip product
lines. As a percentage of sales, research and development expenses were 4.6% and
4.5% in the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

         Depreciation and amortization increased to $487,915 in the quarter
ended March 31, 2000, from $373,907 in the quarter ended March 31, 1999,
primarily as a result of the increased investment in surgical instrumentation.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2000, $672,732 of such equipment was placed
in service, resulting in the increase in depreciation expense.

         Royalty expenses increased by $57,527 to $404,630 in the quarter ended
March 31, 2000, from $347,103 in the quarter ended March 31, 1999, primarily as
a result of growth in knee implant sales. As a percentage of sales, royalty
expenses were 3.9% and 4.8% in the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

         The Company's income from operations increased by $280,747, or 23%, to
$1,490,393 in the quarter ended March 31, 2000, from $1,209,646 in the quarter
ended March 31, 1999, primarily as a result of increase in sales.

         The Company incurred net interest expense of $32,458 in the quarter
ended March 31, 2000, as compared to $31,707 in the quarter ended March 31,
1999. The increase was the primarily the result of slightly higher interest
rates on existing Industrial Revenue Bond (IRB) debt. For the quarter ended
March 31, 2000, interest income of $23,126 was offset by $55,584 of interest
expense.

         Income before provision for income taxes increased by $279,996, or 24%,
to $1,457,935 in the quarter ended March 31, 2000, from $1,177,939 in the
quarter ended March 31, 1999. The provision for income taxes was $533,197 in the
quarter ended March 31, 2000, compared to $465,286 in the quarter ended March
31, 1999.

         As a result of the foregoing, net income increased by $212,085, or 30%,
to $924,738 from $712,653 in the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Since inception, the Company has financed its operations primarily
through borrowings, the sale of equity securities and cash flow from operations.
At March 31, 2000, the Company had working capital of $18,890,780 compared to
$17,852,682 at December 31, 1999. The increase in working capital is primarily
the result of additional inventory in support of new product lines. As a result
of operating, investing and financing activities, cash and cash equivalents at
March 31, 2000 increased to $2,089,235 from $1,641,071 at December 31, 1999. The
Company maintains a $6,000,000 credit facility with Merrill Lynch Business
Financial Services, Inc. which is secured by accounts receivable and inventory
and expires in June 2000. At March 31, 2000, there was no amount outstanding
under the line of credit. The Company believes that funds from operations and
borrowings under its existing credit facilities will be sufficient to satisfy
its contemplated cash requirements for the following twelve months.

OPERATING ACTIVITIES

         Operating activities provided net cash of $1,038,005 in the three
months ended March 31, 2000, as compared to $1,498,437 in the three months ended
March 31, 1999. The primary reason for the change was an increase of $2,301,777
in inventory in the three months ended March 31, 2000, as compared to a decrease
of $246,171 in inventory that occurred in the three months ended March 31, 1999.
The increase in inventory was partially offset by an increase of $2,063,678 in
accounts payable for the three months ended March 31, 2000, as compared to a
decrease of $92,959 in the three months ended March 31, 1999.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES

         The Company used net cash in investing activities of $1,031,350 in the
three months ended March 31, 2000 entirely for the purchase of property and
equipment. During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company used net
cash of $1,122,365, of which, $150,000 was for the purchase of a product license
and $972,365 was for purchases of property and equipment.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

         Financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2000 provided
net cash of $441,509 as compared to $107,426 in the three months ended March 31,
1999. The primary reason for the increase in cash provided by financing
activities was the issuance of the Company's common stock due to the exercise of
stock warrants and options.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT RELATING TO FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

         The foregoing Management's Discussion and Analysis contains various
"forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, which represent the Company's expectations or beliefs concerning
future events, including, but not limited to, statements regarding growth in
sales of the Company's products, profit margins and the sufficiency of the
Company's cash flow for its future liquidity and capital resource needs. These
forward looking statements are further qualified by important factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward looking
statements. These factors include, without limitation, the effect of competitive
pricing, the Company's dependence on the ability of its third-party

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         The Company is exposed to market risk from interest rates. For its cash
and cash equivalents, a change in interest rates effects the amount of interest
income that can be earned. For its debt instruments, changes in interest rates
effect the amount of interest expense incurred.

         Since the year ended December 31, 1999, there have not been any
material changes in the Company's financial instruments that are sensitive to
changes in interest rates.
