                         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

INTRODUCTION

    The Company's activities during the second quarter of 1996 consisted of
marketing the outpatient module of LifeRate Cardiovascular, developing the
cardiac catheterization laboratory ("Cath Lab") and operating room modules of
LifeRate Cardiovascular, continuing to build its National Cardiology Database
and installing the system at cardiology practice groups.  To date, the Company
has entered into agreements for the sale and installation of LifeRate
Cardiovascular with five cardiovascular practice groups.  The initial Cath Lab
module was completed in May 1996 for Beta test site installation, and the
operating room module is expected to be available for commercial release in
August 1996.

    In April 1996, the Company made key management changes and made two new
significant appointments.  David D. Koentopf was elected Chairman of the Board. 
Mr. Koentopf, a Twin Cities-based private investor and business consultant, has
been a member of the Board of Directors of the Company since 1993.  The Board
also elected William W. Chorske as President and Chief Executive Officer and a
member of the Board.  Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Chorske had been
employed by Medtronic, Inc. since 1987 in a variety of capacities, including
Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer from 1987 to 1991 and most
recently as President, Medtronic Europe.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    Revenues of $150,100 for the three months ended June 30, 1996, reflect the
installation of LifeRate Cardiovascular at three sites.  These installations
began late in the first quarter of 1996.  Installation and non-recurring fees
associated with these installations contributed 44.4% of the revenues recognized
in the second quarter of 1996.  The remaining revenue consisted primarily of
development fees and recurring license fees.  Revenues in the second quarter of
1995 of $69,400 consisted of $15,000 of recurring license fees associated with
the Company's first cardiology outpatient installation with the remainder
consisting mainly of one time development fees.

    Revenues of $259,300 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, are $124,900
greater than those generated for the same period in 1995.  Current year revenues
reflect the increased installation of LifeRate Cardiovascular in 1996 as it has
been installed at five practice groups through June 30, 1996, versus only one
initial site through June 30, 1995.  The Company anticipates that installations
and conversion fees, as well as ongoing license fees, will continue to grow as a
percentage of sales.

    The cost of revenues recorded for the second quarter of 1996 included
$8,600 of costs incurred for installation of LifeRate Cardiovascular that
generated the majority of the second quarter revenues.  It also includes $25,200
of amortization of capitalized software costs.  Cost of revenues of the six
month period ended June 30, 1996 include $50,400 of amortization of capitalized
software costs, the $8,600 incurred in the second quarter for LifeRate
Cardiovascular installations, and $18,700 of development expense recorded in the
first quarter against a development contract which produced the majority of
revenue in that period.  There were no costs of revenues recorded during the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1995.  Future periods will also be
affected by royalty payments as the Company is obligated to pay royalties to
third parties based on revenues.  The Company is currently obligated to pay
royalties to one third party equal to 10% of the sales


                                          6

<PAGE>

of LifeRate Cardiovascular and to another third party equal to 7.5% of sales of
LifeRate's system.  The Company is also obligated to pay royalties to a third
party equal to 2% of database sales from August 1, 1996 through July 30, 2001.

    Sales and marketing expenses were $617,800 for the three months ended 
June 30, 1996, which is a $262,700 (29.8%) decrease from the same period last 
year. For the six month period ended June 30, 1996, sales and marketing expenses
were $1,236,700, compared to $1,182,500 for the prior year, a $54,200 (4.6%)
increase.  Sales and marketing expenses increased during the first quarter of
1996 as the Company was developing the organization to support the intensified
marketing following the December 1995 commercial release of LifeRate
Cardiovascular.  During 1995, Clinical Sales & Service, Inc. ("CSSI") provided
substantially all of the Company's sales, marketing and clinical support
functions.  Effective January 1, 1996, the employees of CSSI became employees of
the Company.  Since that time, the Company has directly employed its sales,
marketing and clinical support personnel.  The sales and marketing expense has
slowed in the second quarter as hiring and training of employees has been
completed and other expenses previously recorded as sales and marketing expenses
are now billed to the customer.

    Expenses for research and development have increased significantly from
1995 to 1996.  Research and development expenses were $560,400 for the second
quarter of 1996, a $464,300 increase from the same period last year.  For the
six month period ended June 30, 1996, research and development expenses were
$1,052,000, $909,400 greater than the comparable period of 1995.  These
increases reflect the intensified development efforts for the Cath Lab and
operating room modules of LifeRate Cardiovascular, the addition of a software
quality assurance function, as well as a number of one-time costs associated
with the recruitment and relocation of key staff members and the costs
associated with accommodating the increased staff size.  The Company plans to
continue to invest the resources needed to develop the product capabilities
being demanded by its customer base.

    The Company incurred general and administrative expenses in the second
quarter 1996 of $727,500, compared to $219,300 in the prior year, an increase of
$508,200.  General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30,
1996 increased $726,300 over the same period of 1995 to $1,210,900.  The
increase reflects $181,000 incurred in the second quarter of 1996 to cancel a
lease for new office facilities and the added costs needed to support the
overall higher level of activity of the Company due to the commercialization of
its first product.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    At June 30, 1996, the Company's cash and cash equivalents were $5,678,800,
a decrease of $2,071,700 from December 31, 1995.  In January 1996, the Company
closed on a private placement of 295,546 shares of Common Stock at a price of
$6.50 per share, which provided net proceeds of $1,683,300 to the Company. 
During the first two quarters of 1996, the Company used approximately $3,481,000
to fund operations and $483,800 for the purchase of equipment.  While the
Company does not have significant commitments to purchase additional equipment,
it does plan to continue to fund such purchases as required to support product
and market development needs.  The Company anticipates that the purchase of
equipment will be less in the last half of 1996 compared to the level of the
first six months.

    The Company believes that cash and cash equivalent balances at June 30,
1996 are sufficient to fund the Company's operations through the end of 1996. 
Thereafter, the Company may require


                                          7

<PAGE>

additional capital to continue operations.  There is no assurance that the
Company will be able to obtain additional financing or that, if available, terms
of any such financing will be satisfactory to the Company.
