ITEM 1.     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

      1.    ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      Description of Business

      SeaMED Corporation (the "Company") primarily manufactures advanced durable
electronic medical instruments for medical technology companies, often as part
of systems that also include single-use components. To assist its customers in
developing and commercializing their instruments for manufacture by the Company,
the Company provides a wide range of engineering services and regulatory
expertise.

      Accounting Period

      The Company presents financial information for a 52/53 week fiscal year
that ends on the Thursday nearest to June 30. Each of the Company's fiscal
quarters ends, respectively, on the Thursday nearest to September 30, December
31 and March 31. For convenience of presentation, all fiscal periods in these
financial statements are shown as ending on a calendar month-end.

      Unaudited Interim Financial Information

      The financial information as of September 30, 1997 is unaudited, but
includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position at such dates and the operations and cash flows for the
periods then ended. The financial information is presented according to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and,
accordingly, does not include all of the information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. Operating results for the period ended September
30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the
entire year. This financial information should be read in conjunction with the
Company's audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 1997,
included in its annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

      Earnings Per Share

      In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is required to be adopted on
December 31, 1997. At that time, the Company will be required to change the
method currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior
periods. Under the new requirements for calculating primary earnings per share,
the dilutive effect of stock options and preferred stock will be excluded. The
impact is expected to result in an increase in primary earnings per share for
the quarters ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 of $.01 and $.46 per share,
respectively. The impact of Statement 


                                      -6-
<PAGE>   7
128 on the calculation of fully diluted earnings per share for these quarters is
not expected to be material.

      2.    INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

      In November 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering of
securities, selling 1,529,720 shares of common stock at $11 per share, resulting
in net proceeds to the Company of $14,822,755, net of offering costs and
underwriters discount of $2,004,165. Of the net proceeds, the Company used
$1,765,000 to pay a cumulative preferred dividend on its convertible redeemable
preferred stock, $1,831,000 to pay down its line of credit with a bank to zero
and $1,296,000 to pay off in full three notes payable to the bank. In
conjunction with the offering, all of the Company's convertible redeemable
preferred stock outstanding immediately prior to the offering was converted into
2,934,029 shares of common stock.

OVERVIEW

      SeaMED is a manufacturer of advanced medical instruments for medical
technology companies. SeaMED was incorporated in 1976, and since 1988 has
focused its business primarily on manufacturing medical instruments for medical
technology companies. To assist its customers in developing and commercializing
their products for manufacture by SeaMED, the Company provides a wide range of
engineering services and regulatory expertise.

      SeaMED's manufacturing contracts with its customers are usually exclusive
contracts for a fixed period of time, generally ranging from three to five
years. SeaMED negotiates each manufacturing contract independently, and each
varies as to profitability. SeaMED negotiates the price of each manufactured
instrument on a cost and margin formula. SeaMED's contracts with its customers
generally permit annual manufacturing cost audits and price renegotiations.
During the contract term, customers have broad discretion to control the volume
and timing of instrument deliveries. Consequently, SeaMED's revenues with
respect to each instrument may vary substantially from period to period, and an
instrument that generates revenues in one quarter may not necessarily generate
revenues in each quarter of a fiscal year. In addition, for a variety of reasons
such as a customer's inventory levels, sales mix and timing of product launches,
SeaMED's revenues for an instrument do not necessarily correspond to the
customer's sales.

      Manufacturing revenue growth depends primarily on two factors: increased
demand for instruments manufactured by SeaMED and SeaMED's ability to attract
additional manufacturing contracts from emerging and established medical
technology companies. SeaMED has no ability to increase demand for the
instruments it manufactures because SeaMED's customers control all product
marketing and sales. SeaMED markets its manufacturing capabilities and usually
procures additional manufacturing contracts as a result of its engineering
projects, but the volume and timing of future manufacturing revenues that relate
to any specific engineering project are highly variable, and certain engineering
projects may not lead to future manufacturing revenues. The manufacturing gross
margin percentage from year to year depends primarily on the product mix, as
gross margins vary by instrument and as a result of negotiated volume discounts.
Management may negotiate volume discounts if the larger volume results in
smaller per unit overhead allocation, thereby improving operating margin. For
manufacturing revenues from instruments not yet approved for commercial use
(known as "preproduction revenues"), the gross 


                                      -8-
<PAGE>   9
margin percentage is generally lower because a smaller number of units limits
opportunities to achieve economies of scale, and the instrument and its
manufacturing process are being refined.

      SeaMED provides its customers with engineering services at any stage of an
instrument's development, as part of its strategy to obtain exclusive
manufacturing rights for an instrument. SeaMED generally provides engineering
services under a project plan that identifies the engineering tasks,
deliverables and schedule. SeaMED negotiates each engineering project plan
independently, and, as a business strategy, generally prices engineering
contracts to cover direct project expenses (i.e., nonrecurring engineering
expenses) plus a share of marketing, general and administrative expenses.
SeaMED's objective in providing engineering services is to obtain, for a
specific time period (usually three to five years), exclusive manufacturing
rights to the instrument resulting from the engineering project. The customer
can typically cancel the engineering project at any time upon short notice.

      Engineering revenues are derived primarily from professional services
provided by SeaMED's engineers. The balance of engineering revenues is sales of
materials to customers at cost. Engineering revenue growth depends primarily on
three factors: (i) the number and scope of existing engineering projects, (ii)
whether existing projects are in time-intensive phases, and (iii) whether new
engineering projects of sufficient scope replace engineering projects that are
completed or otherwise terminated. Engineering gross margins are low due to
SeaMED's strategy of pricing engineering services as part of an exclusive
manufacturing contract for the resulting instrument. Since demand for
engineering services is based on the number and scope of engineering projects,
if customers cancel one or more projects on short notice, SeaMED may experience
from time to time excess engineering capacity. Engineering margins may fluctuate
depending on the rates that customers pay under engineering project plans and
the utilization rates of engineers.

      SeaMED from time to time selectively designs and manufactures nonmedical
commercial products that benefit from SeaMED's engineering and manufacturing
capabilities. SeaMED intends to maintain as its primary focus the design and
manufacturing of advanced medical instruments for medical technology companies.

      Marketing, general and administrative expenses include the costs of
SeaMED's marketing, finance, and management information systems departments and
other administrative costs. In addition, marketing, general and administrative
expenses include the cost of a Company-wide bonus tied to operating performance
and return on operating assets based on an operating plan approved by the Board
of Directors. Future payments will vary based on the Company's performance
relative to plan objectives.

</TABLE>


      Manufacturing revenues increased by approximately $3.6 million in the
first quarter of fiscal year 1998 from the first quarter of fiscal year 1997,
due primarily to new medical instruments adding approximately $1.6 million in
revenues, increased revenues from existing medical instruments adding
approximately $3.0 million and increased revenues from the manufacture of the
Coinstar coin-counting machine adding approximately $500,000 in nonmedical
manufacturing revenues. Sales to Coinstar in the first quarter of fiscal year
1998 represented approximately 20.0% of total revenues and approximately 27.1%
of manufacturing revenues, compared to approximately 25.0% of total revenues and
approximately 33.5% of manufacturing revenues in the first quarter of fiscal
year 1997. Management expects that sales to Coinstar will tend to decrease as a
percentage of manufacturing revenues in the future, but the percentage may
fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Increases in manufacturing revenues were
offset by decreased volume of certain existing instruments and the phase-out of
the Company's proprietary instrument during the fourth quarter of fiscal year
1997.


                                      -10-
<PAGE>   11
      Significant manufacturing revenues were generated by 15 instruments in the
first quarter of fiscal year 1998 compared to 12 instruments in first quarter of
fiscal year 1997. The only nonmedical commercial product that generated
significant manufacturing revenues during the first quarters of fiscal years
1998 and 1997 was the Coinstar coin-counting machine.

      Engineering revenues increased by approximately $2.3 million in the first
quarter of fiscal year 1998 from the first quarter of fiscal year 1997, due
primarily to new projects adding approximately $2.0 million in revenues, and
increased time and hourly rates being billed on existing projects adding
approximately $1.2 million in revenues. Increases in engineering revenues were
offset by the transition of certain projects from engineering to manufacturing
and other projects being delayed or cancelled. 

      As of the respective ends of the first quarters of fiscal years 1998 and 
1997, SeaMED had in its engineering project pipeline 22 and nine new medical 
instruments or systems, and nine and five projects that enhance existing 
medical instruments or systems and that SeaMED and the customer believe will 
extend the life-cycle of the instrument. The 31 projects in the pipeline as of 
the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 1998 were being performed for 27 
different customers (14 projects for 11 different customers as of the end of 
the first quarter of fiscal year 1997). Although management believes that the 
31 projects in the pipeline have a good chance of some day resulting in 
manufacturing contracts from which SeaMED will derive substantial manufacturing
revenues, the volume and timing of future manufacturing revenues that relate 
to any specific engineering project are highly variable, and certain 
engineering projects in the pipeline may not lead to future manufacturing 
revenues.

      As of the end of the first quarters of each of fiscal years 1998 and 1997,
SeaMED had in its engineering project pipeline one nonmedical commercial
product.

      Price adjustments under existing manufacturing contracts have not been
significant. Increases in revenues have not been significantly influenced by
inflation.

      Gross Margin

      The following table sets forth gross margin, both in dollar amounts and as
a percentage of the corresponding revenue figure for the periods indicated.

</TABLE>


      Manufacturing gross margin percentage remained essentially unchanged in
the first quarter of fiscal year 1998 from the first quarter of fiscal year
1997. Preproduction revenues, which generally produce lower gross margins, 
increased as a percent of sales and offset gross margin improvements achieved 
by spreading facilities and certain other  manufacturing overhead costs over a 
higher revenue base. The increase in the engineering gross margin percentage to 
13.2% in the first quarter of fiscal  year 1998 from 11.9% for the first 
quarter of fiscal year 1997 was primarily attributable to (i) spreading 
certain fixed engineering costs over a higher revenue base, (ii) high 
utilization of engineers, and (iii) increased hourly rates for engineering 
services. Management expects engineering gross margin as a percentage of 
revenues to fluctuate from quarter to quarter, but to average approximately 
11% over time.

      Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses

Marketing, general and administrative expenses increased to $1.4 million in the
first quarter of fiscal year 1998 from $847,000 in the first quarter of fiscal
year 1997, and as a percentage of revenues increased to 8.6% from 8.4% for the
respective quarters. The increase in expenses were due primarily to costs
associated with disseminating information to shareholders and the public,
increased headcount and management information systems costs associated with the
Company's growth. Marketing, general and administrative expenses before bonus
represented 6.8% and 6.2% of revenues in the first quarters of fiscal years 1998
and 1997, respectively.

      The $517,000 increase (61.6%) in operating income in the first quarter of
fiscal year 1998 from the first quarter of fiscal year 1997 is due primarily to
an increase in sales volume and improved gross margins in engineering.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      SeaMED has historically financed its operations through earnings, debt and
sales of securities. In the first three months of fiscal year 1998 SeaMED's
operating activities resulted in net uses of cash of $720,000. This net use of
cash occurred despite a substantial increase in earnings in the first quarter of
fiscal year 1998 from the first quarter of fiscal year 1997, because SeaMED's
growth continues to require substantial infusions of working capital, primarily
to support increases in accounts receivable and inventories.

      As part of its strategy to finance its growth, on November 19, 1996,
SeaMED completed its initial public offering of securities, selling 1,529,720
shares of common stock at $11 per share, resulting in net proceeds to the
Company of approximately $14.8 million. Of the net proceeds, the Company used
approximately $1.8 million to pay a cumulative preferred dividend on its
convertible redeemable preferred stock, approximately $1.8 million to pay down
its line of credit with Pacific Northwest Bank (the "Bank") to zero and
approximately $1.3 million to pay off in full three notes payable to the Bank.

      SeaMED has used a portion of the remaining net proceeds to continue
funding working capital needs resulting from its growth and for general
corporate purposes, including leasehold improvements and purchases of equipment.
If the opportunity arises the Company may use a portion of the net proceeds to
acquire other manufacturing or engineering businesses or assets that complement
the Company's existing business. The Company currently is not engaged in any
discussions regarding such acquisitions and has no plans, arrangements,
understandings or agreements regarding any specific acquisition.

      In July 1997, the Company's Board of Directors approved the replacement of
its fixed-balance cash management arrangement with Pacific Northwest Bank with a
line of credit arrangement (the "working capital facility") with Keybank
National Association, under which the Company can borrow against 85% of eligible
accounts receivable and 50% of eligible inventory, up to a maximum of $10.0
million in year one and $20.0 million in years two and three. Borrowings 
under the working capital facility will bear interest at either the
bank's prime rate minus .25% or LIBOR plus 1.2%. At October 31, there were no
borrowings under the working capital facility. In addition the Bank has
committed to allow SeaMED, in SeaMED's discretion, to draw on an equipment
acquisition line of credit (the "equipment facility") with the Bank, under which
the Company can borrow up to $5.0 million. Borrowings under the equipment
facility will bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.4% and will be secured by the
equipment purchased using the equipment facility. At October 31, there were no
borrowings under the equipment facility.


                                      -13-
<PAGE>   14
      SeaMED also has a term note payable to the Bank, entered into on July 31,
1997 and disbursed by the Bank on September 4, 1997. Borrowings under this note
bear interest at the Bank's announced prime rate, 8.5% at October 31, 1997, and
will adjust as the Bank's announced prime rate changes. The note is due in
monthly payments of $18,055 through December 2000. At October 31, 1997, the
balance outstanding on this note was approximately $607,000.

      SeaMED believes that the net proceeds remaining from its initial public
offering, together with existing capital resources and amounts available under
its new working capital and equipment facilities, will satisfy the Company's
anticipated capital needs for the next 18 to 36 months (depending primarily on
SeaMED's growth rate and its results of operations). To accommodate anticipated
future growth, SeaMED will need additional sources of capital to fund working
capital needs for inventory and accounts receivable, to lease and acquire
furniture and equipment for additional plant facilities, to fund leasehold
improvements and to make other capital expenditures.

      In May of 1997 SeaMED occupied an additional 60,000 square feet of space
to support growth. SeaMED now has approximately 148,000 square feet of space.
Due in large part to furnishing new space, SeaMED's capital expenditures
increased to approximately $529,000 in the first quarter of fiscal year 1998
from $312,000 in the first quarter of fiscal year 1997. Management anticipates
that the amount of capital expenditures in fiscal year 1998 will decrease
slightly from fiscal year 1997. In July 1997 SeaMED entered into a commitment to
lease an additional 81,000 square feet of space in stages beginning in January
1999.

The uses of net offering proceeds set forth above are management's reasonable
estimates, and they assume the reinvestment of cash from operating activities
into the Company's net working capital. Temporary investments are United States
government obligations with a term of less than one year.

restrictions, if any, relating to the shares of Preferred Stock of such class

     7.2  Removal. Any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed
from office at any time, at a duly called special meeting of shareholders, by
the affirmative vote of shareholders which satisfies the requirements of Article
11 applicable to amendment, modification, or repeal of these Articles.
 
     7.3  Vacancies. Vacancies in the Board of Directors, including vacancies
resulting from an increase in the number of directors, shall be filled by a

fill vacancies shall hold office for a term expiring at the next annual meeting
of shareholders, but shall continue to serve despite the expiration of the
director's term until his or her successor shall have been elected and qualified

number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten or
eliminate the term of any incumbent director.

directors of the second class shall expire at the second annual meeting after
their election. The term of office of directors of the third class shall expire

                        LIMITATION OF DIRECTOR LIABILITY
 
     A director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the
corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for conduct as a director,
except for:
 
          (a) Acts or omissions involving intentional misconduct by the director
     or a knowing violation of law by the director;
 
          (b) Conduct violating RCW 23B.08.310 (which involves certain

          (c) Any transaction from which the director will personally receive a
     benefit in money, property, or services to which the director is not
     legally entitled.
 
     If the Washington Business Corporation Act is amended to authorize
corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of
directors, then the liability of a director of the corporation shall be
eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Washington Business
Corporation Act, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing
paragraph by the shareholders of the corporation shall not adversely affect any
right or protection of a director of the corporation with respect to any acts or
omissions of such director occurring prior to such repeal or modification.
 
                                  ARTICLE 10.
 
                          INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS
 
     10.1  Indemnification. The corporation shall indemnify its directors to the
full extent permitted by the Washington Business Corporation Act now or
hereafter in force. However, such indemnity shall not apply on account of:
 
          (a) Acts or omissions of the director finally adjudged to be
     intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
 
          (b) Conduct of the director finally adjudged to be in violation of RCW
     23B.08.310; or
 
          (c) Any transaction with respect to which it was finally adjudged that
     such director personally received a benefit in money, property, or services
     to which the director was not legally entitled.
 
The corporation shall advance expenses for such persons pursuant to the terms
set forth in the Bylaws, or in a separate directors' resolution or contract.
 
     10.2  Authorization. The Board of Directors may take such action as is
necessary to carry out these indemnification and expense advancement provisions.
It is expressly empowered to adopt, approve, and amend from time to time such
Bylaws, resolutions, contracts, or further indemnification and expense
advancement arrangements as may be permitted by law, implementing these
provisions. Such Bylaws, resolutions, contracts
 
<PAGE>   4
 
or further arrangements shall include but not be limited to implementing the
manner in which determinations as to any indemnity or advancement of expenses
shall be made.
 
     10.3  Amendment. No amendment or repeal of this Article shall apply to or
have any effect on any right to indemnification provided hereunder with respect
to acts or omissions occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.
 
                                  ARTICLE 11.
 
                                 MISCELLANEOUS
 
     11.1  Repeal of and Amendment to Articles of Incorporation. Unless
otherwise provided herein, the provisions of these Articles of Incorporation may
be repealed or amended upon the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than
a majority of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation. The
provisions set forth in Section 7.1 of Article 7, Article 9, Article 10 and this
sentence of Section 11.1 of Article 11 herein may not be repealed or amended in
any respect unless such action is approved by the affirmative vote of the
holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of
the corporation.
 
     11.2  Repeal of and Amendment to Bylaws. In furtherance and not in
limitation of the powers conferred by the Washington Business Corporation Act,
the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to make, adopt, repeal, alter,
amend, and rescind the Bylaws of the corporation by a resolution adopted by a
majority of the directors. The shareholders shall also have the power to adopt,
amend or repeal the Bylaws of the corporation as set forth therein.
 
     11.3  Special Meetings of Shareholders. Special meetings of the
shareholders of the corporation for any purpose may be called at any time by the

    ownership of the properties, there has been no use, generation, manufacture,
    storage, treatment, disposal, release or threatened release of any hazardous

    waste and hazardous substances. Borrower hereby (a) releases and waives any
    future claims against Lender for indemnity or contribution in the event
    Borrower becomes liable for cleanup or other costs under any such laws, and
    (b) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lender against any and all claims,
    losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, and expenses which Lender may
    directly or indirectly sustain or suffer resulting from a breach of this
    section of the Agreement or as a consequence of any use, generation,
    manufacture, storage, disposal, release or threatened release occurring
    prior to Borrower's ownership or interest in the properties, whether or not
    the same was or should have been known to Borrower. The provisions of this
    section of the Agreement, including the obligation to indemnify, shall
    survive the payment of the indebtedness and the termination or expiration of
    this Agreement and shall not be affected by Lender's acquisition of any
    interest in any of the properties, whether by foreclosure or otherwise.

    Litigation and Claims. No litigation, claim, investigation, administrative
    proceeding or similar action (including those for unpaid taxes) against
    Borrower is pending or threatened, and no other event has occurred which may

    other than litigation, claims or other events, if any, that have been

    Borrower that are or were required to be filed, have been filed, and all
    taxes, assessments and other governmental charges have been paid in full,
    except those presently being or to be contested by Borrower in good faith in
    the ordinary course of business and for which adequate reserves have been
    provided.

        Worth of less than 1.25 to 1.00. Except as provided above, all
        computations made to determine compliance with the requirements
        contained in this paragraph shall be made in accordance with generally
        accepted accounting principles, applied on a consistent basis, and
        certified by Borrower as being true and correct.

        Insurance. Maintain fire and other risk insurance, public liability
        insurance, and such other insurance as Lender may require with respect
        to Borrower's properties and operations, in form, amounts, coverages and
        with insurance companies reasonably acceptable to Lender. Borrower, upon
        request of Lender, will deliver to Lender from time to time the policies
        or certificates of insurance in form satisfactory to Lender, including
        stipulations that coverages will not be cancelled or diminished without
        at least ten (10) days' prior written notice to Lender. Each Insurance
        policy also shall include an endorsement providing that coverage in
        favor of Lender will not be impaired in any way by any act, omission, or
        default of Borrower or any other person. In connection with all policies
        covering assets in which Lender holds or is offered a security interest
        for the Loans, Borrower will provide Lender with such loss payable or
        other endorsements as Lender may require.

    Insurance Reports. Furnish to Lender, upon request of Lender, reports on
    each existing insurance policy showing such information as Lender may
    reasonably request, including without limitation the following: (a) the name
    of the insurer; (b) the risks insured; (c) the amount of the policy; (d) the
    properties insured; (e) the then current property values on the

    basis of which insurance has been obtained, and the manner of determining
    those values; and (f) the expiration date of the policy. In addition, upon
    request of Lender (however not more often then annually), Borrower will have
    an independent appraiser satisfactory to Lender determine, as applicable,
    the actual cash value or replacement cost of any Collateral. The cost of
    such appraisal shall be paid by Borrower.

    Other Agreements. Comply with all terms and conditions of all other
    agreements, whether now or hereafter existing, between Borrower and any
    other party and notify Lender immediately in writing of any default in

    operations, unless specifically consented to the contrary by Lender in
    writing.

    and obligations, including without limitation all assessments, taxes,
    governmental charges, levies and liens, of every kind and nature, imposed

    which penalties would attach, and all lawful claims that, if unpaid, might
    become a lien or charge upon any of Borrower's properties, income, or
    profits, Provided however, Borrower will not be required to pay and
    discharge any such assessment, tax, charge, levy, lien or claim so long as
    (a) the legality of the same shall be contested in good faith by appropriate
    proceedings, and (b) Borrower shall have established on its books adequate
    reserves with respect to such contested assessment, tax, charge, levy, lien,
    or claim in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices.
    Borrower, upon demand of Lender, will furnish to Lender evidence of payment
    of the assessments, taxes, charges, levies, liens and claims and will
    authorize the appropriate governmental official to deliver to Lender at any
    time a written statement of any assessments, taxes, charges, levies, liens
    and claims against Borrower's properties, income, or profits.

    Performance. Perform and comply with all terms, conditions, and provisions
    set forth in this Agreement and in the Related Documents in a timely manner,
    and promptly notify Lender if Borrower learns of the occurrence of any event
    which constitutes an Event of Default under this Agreement or under any of
    the Related Documents.

    the same qualifications and experience as the present executive and
    management personnel; provide written notice to Lender of any change in

    inspect any and all Collateral for the Loan or Loans and Borrower's other
    properties and to examine or audit

    officer or person acceptable to Lender, certifying that the representations
    and warranties set forth in this Agreement are true and correct as of the
    date of the certificate and further certifying that, as of the date of the
    certificate, no Event of Default exists under this Agreement.

    with all environmental protection federal, state and local laws, statutes,
    regulations and ordinances; not cause or permit to exist, as a result of an
    intentional or unintentional action or omission on its part or on the part
    of any third party, on property owned and/or occupied by Borrower, any
    environmental activity where damage may result to the environment, unless
    such environmental activity is pursuant to and in compliance with the
    conditions of a permit issued by the appropriate federal, state or local
    governmental authorities; shall furnish to Lender promptly and in any event
    within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof a copy of any notice, summons,
    lien, citation, directive, letter or other communication from any
    governmental agency or instrumentality concerning any intentional or
    unintentional action or omission on Borrower's part in connection with any
    environmental activity whether or not there is damage to the environment
    and/or other natural resources.

    Additional Assurances. Make, execute and deliver to Lender such promissory
    notes, mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements, financing statements,
    instruments, documents and other agreements as Lender or its attorneys may
    reasonably request to evidence and secure the Loans and to perfect all

    transfer or sell Collateral out of the ordinary course of business, (c) pay
    any dividends on Borrower's stock (other than dividends payable in its
    stock), provided, however that notwithstanding the foregoing, but only so
    long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result
    from the payment of dividends, if Borrower is a "Subchapter S Corporation"
    (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1988, as amended), Borrower may
    pay cash dividends on its stock to its shareholders from time to time in
    amounts necessary to enable the shareholders to pay income taxes and make
    estimated income tax payments to satisfy their liabilities under federal and
    state law which arise solely from their status as Shareholders of a
    Subchapter S Corporation because of their ownership of shares of stock of
    Borrower, or (d) purchase or retire any of Borrower's outstanding shares or
    alter or amend Borrower's capital structure.

    assets, (b) purchase, create or acquire any interest in any other enterprise
    or entity, or (c) incur any obligation as surety or guarantor other than in
    the ordinary course of business.

CESSATION OF ADVANCES. If Lender has made any commitment to make any Loan to
Borrower, whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement, Lender
shall have no obligation to make Loan Advances or to disburse Loan proceeds if:
(a) Borrower or any Guarantor is in default under the terms of this Agreement or
any of the related Documents or any other agreement that Borrower or any
Guarantor has with Lender; (b) Borrower or any Guarantor becomes insolvent,
files a petition in bankruptcy or similar proceedings, or is adjudged a
bankrupt; (c) there occurs a material adverse change in Borrower's financial
condition, in the financial condition of any Guarantor, or in the value of any
Collateral securing any Loan; or (d) any Guarantor seeks, claims or otherwise
attempts to limit, modify or revoke such Guarantor's guaranty of the Loan or any
other loan with Lender.

ADDITIONAL AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS. Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender
that, while this Agreement is in effect, Borrower will maintain a minimum
interest coverage ratio of 2.0 to 1.0 measured quarterly. Interest coverage

effect, all dividends shall be materially restricted without prior bank consent.

effect, advances will be limited to 85% of eligible account receivables and 50%
of eligible inventory. Borrower shall certify in writing to the bank on a
quarterly basis that they have been within the parameters of the borrowing
formula at all times during the quarter and that they are in compliance with all
covenants. Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender that, while this Agreement
is in effect, Borrower will maintain a ratio of Total Liabilities to Tangible
Net Worth of less than 1.25 to 1.00 measured quarterly.

================================================================================

EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default
under this Agreement:

    Default on Indebtedness. Failure of Borrower to make any payment when due on
    the Loans.

    Other Defaults. Failure of Borrower or any Grantor to comply with or to
    perform when due any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained
    in this Agreement or in any of the Related Documents, or failure of Borrower
    to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or
    condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower.

    Default in Favor of Third Parties. Should Borrower or any Grantor default
    under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales
    agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person
    that may materially affect any of Borrower's property or Borrower's or any
    Grantor's ability to repay the Loans or perform their respective obligations
    under this Agreement or any of the Related Documents.

    False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or
    furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower or any Grantor under this
    Agreement or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any material
    respect at the time made or furnished, or becomes false or misleading at any
    time thereafter.

    Defective Collateralization. This Agreement or any of the Related Documents
    ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of any Security
    Agreement to create a valid and perfected Security Interest) at any time and
    for any reason.

    Insolvency. The dissolution or termination of Borrower's existence as a
    going business, the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a receiver
    for any part of Borrower's property, any assignment for the benefit of
    creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any
    proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower.

    Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or
    forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help,
    repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower, any creditor
    of any Grantor against any collateral securing the indebtedness, or by any
    governmental agency. This includes a garnishment, attachment, or levy on or
    of any of Borrower's deposit accounts with Lender. However, this Event of
    Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower or
    Grantor, as the case may be, as to the validity or reasonableness of the
    claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceedings, and if
    Borrower or Grantor gives Lender written notice of the creditor or
    forfeiture proceeding and furnishes reserves or a surety bond for the
    creditor or forfeiture proceeding satisfactory to Lender.

================================================================================

    Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect
    to any Guarantor of any of the indebtedness or any Guarantor dies or becomes
    incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any
    Guaranty of the indebtedness. Lender, at its option, may, but shall not be
    required to, permit the Guarantor's estate to assume unconditionally the
    obligations arising under the guaranty in a manner satisfactory to Lender,
    and, in doing so, cure the Event of Default.

    Change in Ownership. Any change in ownership of twenty-five percent (25%) or
    more of the common stock of Borrower.

    Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's financial
    condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of the
    indebtedness is impaired.

    Right to Cure. If any default, other than a Default on Indebtedness, is
    curable and if Borrower or Grantor, as the case may be, has not been given a
    notice of a similar default within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may
    be cured (and no Event of Default will have occurred) if Borrower or
    Grantor, as the case may be, after receiving written notice from Lender
    demanding cure of such default: (a) cures the default within fifteen (15)
    days; or (b) if the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately
    initiates steps which Lender deems in Lender's sole discretion to be
    sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continues and completes all
    reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as
    reasonably practical.

EFFECT OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. If any Event of Default shall occur, except where
otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Related Documents, all commitments
and obligations of Lender under this Agreement or the Related Documents or any
other agreement immediately will terminate (including any obligation to make
Loan Advances or disbursements), and, at Lender's option, all indebtedness
immediately will become due and payable, all without notice of any kind to
Borrower, except that in the case of an Event of Default of the type described
in the "Insolvency" subsection above, such acceleration shall be automatic and
not optional. In addition, Lender shall have all the rights and remedies
provided in the Related Documents or available at law, in equity, or otherwise.
Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all of Lender's rights and
remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.
Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other
remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an
obligation of Borrower or of any Grantor shall not affect Lender's right to
declare a default and to exercise its rights and remedies.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. The following miscellaneous provisions are a part of
this Agreement:

    Amendments. This Agreement, together with any Related Documents, constitutes
    the entire understanding and agreement of the parties as to the matters set
    forth in this Agreement. No alteration of or amendment to this Agreement
    shall be effective unless given in writing and signed by the party or
    parties sought to be charged or bound by the alteration or amendment.

================================================================================

    Applicable Law. This Agreement has been delivered to lender and accepted by
    Lender in the State of Washington. If there is a lawsuit, Borrower agrees
    upon Lender's request to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of King or
    Pierce County, the State of Washington, Lender and Borrower hereby waive the
    right to any jury trial in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim brought
    by either Lender or Borrower against the other. This Agreement shall be
    governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
    Washington.

    Caption Headings. Caption headings in this Agreement are for convenience
    purposes only and are not to be used to interpret or define the provisions
    of this Agreement.

    Multiple Parties; Corporate Authority. All obligations of Borrower under
    this Agreement shall be joint and several, and all references to Borrower
    shall mean each and every Borrower. This means that each of the persons
    signing below is responsible for all obligations in this Agreement.

    Consent to Loan Participation. Borrower agrees and consents to Lender's sale
    or transfer, whether now or later, of one or more participation interests in
    the Loans to one or more purchasers, whether related or unrelated to Lender.
    Lender may provide, without any limitation whatsoever, to any one or more
    purchasers, or potential purchasers, any information or knowledge Lender may
    have about Borrower or about any other matter relating to the Loan, and
    Borrower hereby waives any rights to privacy it may have with respect to
    such matters. Borrower additionally waives any and all notices of sale of
    participation interests, as well as all notices of any repurchase of such
    participation interests. Borrower also agrees that the purchasers of any
    such participation interests will be considered as the absolute owners of
    such interests in the Loans and will have all the rights granted under the
    participation agreement or agreements governing the sale of such
    participation interests. Borrower further waives all rights of offset or
    counterclaim that it may have now or later against Lender or against any
    purchaser of such a participation interest and unconditionally agrees that
    either Lender or such purchaser may enforce Borrower's obligation under the
    Loans irrespective of the failure or insolvency of any holder of any
    interest in the Loans. Borrower further agrees that the purchaser of any
    such participation interests may enforce its interests irrespective of any
    personal claims or defenses that Borrower may have against Lender.

    Costs and Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay upon demand all of Lender's
    expenses, including without limitation attorneys' fees, incurred in
    connection with the preparation, execution, enforcement, modification and
    collection of this Agreement or in connection with the Loans made pursuant
    to this Agreement. Lender may pay someone else to help collect the Loans and
    to enforce this Agreement, and Borrower will pay that amount. This includes,
    subject to any limits under applicable law, Lender's attorneys' fees and
    Lender's legal expenses, whether or not there is a lawsuit, including
    attorneys' fees for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or
    vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any anticipated
    post-judgment collection services. Borrower also will pay any court costs,
    in addition to all other sums provided by law.

    Notices. All notices required to be given under this Agreement shall be
    given in writing, may be sent by telefacsimile, and shall be effective when
    actually delivered or when deposited with a nationally recognized overnight
    courier or deposited in the United States mail, first class, postage
    prepaid, addressed to the party to whom the notice is to be given at the
    address shown above. Any party may change the address for notices under this
    Agreement by giving formal written notice to the other parties, specifying
    that the purpose of the notice is to change the party's address. To the
    extent permitted by applicable law, if there is more than one Borrower,
    notice to any Borrower will constitute notice to all Borrowers. For notice
    purposes, Borrower will keep Lender informed at all times of Borrower's
    current address(es).

    Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of
    this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable as to any person or
    circumstances, such finding shall not render that provision invalid or
    unenforceable as to any other persons or circumstances. If feasible, any
    such offending provision shall be deemed to be modified to be within the
    limits of enforceability or validity; however, if the offending provision
    cannot be so modified, it shall be stricken and all other provisions of this
    Agreement in all other respects shall remain valid and enforceable.

    Subsidiaries and Affiliates of Borrower. To the extent the context of any
    provisions of this Agreement makes it appropriate, including without
    limitation any representation, warranty or covenant, the word "Borrower" as
    used herein shall include all subsidiaries and affiliates of Borrower.
    Notwithstanding the foregoing however, under no circumstances shall this
    Agreement be construed to require Lender to make any Loan or other financial
    accommodation to any subsidiary or affiliate of Borrower.

    Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements contained by or on
    behalf of Borrower shall bind its successors and assigns and shall inure to
    the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns. Borrower shall not,
    however, have the right to assign its rights under this Agreement or any
    interest therein, without the prior written consent of Lender.

    Survival. All warranties, representations, and covenants made by Borrower in
    this Agreement or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by
    Borrower to Lender under this Agreement shall be considered to have been
    relied upon by Lender and will survive the making of the Loan and delivery
    to Lender of the Related Documents, regardless of any investigation made by
    Lender or on Lender's behalf.

    Waiver. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this
    Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Lender. No
    delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall
    operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Lender of
    a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of
    Lender's right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or
    any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any
    course of dealing between Lender and Borrower, or between Lender and any
    Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of

    Lender's rights or of any obligations of Borrower or of any Grantor as to
    any future transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender is required under

    is required, and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the
    sole discretion of Lender.

Date:                          July 31, 1997
Principal Amount:              $20,000,000.00
Interest Rate:                 Variable Rate for LIBO Fixed Rate
Maturity Date:                 July 05, 2000
Borrower:                      SEAMED CORPORATION


        1.     PROMISE TO PAY. SEAMED CORPORATION ("Borrower") promises to pay
to KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, Seattle Metropolitan Commercial Banking Office,
700 Fifth Avenue, Seattle, WA 98111 ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money of the
United States of America, the principal amount set forth above or so much as may
be outstanding, together with interest on the unpaid outstanding principal
balance of each advance. Interest shall be calculated from the date of each
advance until repayment of each advance.

        2.     PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan on demand, or if no demand
is made, on the Maturity Date set forth above. In addition, Borrower will pay
regular quarterly payments of accrued unpaid interest, beginning August 05,
1997, and continuing on the same day of each quarter after that. Interest on
this Note is computed on a 365/360 simple interest basis; that is, by applying
the ratio of the annual interest rate over a year of 360 days, times the
outstanding principal balance, times the actual number of days the principal
balance is outstanding. Borrower will pay Lender at Lender's address shown above
or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing. Unless otherwise
agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to accrued
unpaid interest, then to principal, and any remaining amount to any unpaid
collection costs and late charges.

        3.     INTEREST RATE. This Note shall bear interest at the Variable
Rate, unless Borrower elects to have an Advance bear interest at a LIBO Fixed
Rate, as described below. Advances may bear interest at different rates.

               (a)    Variable Rate. Unless Borrower elects to have an advance
        bear interest at a Fixed Rate, amounts outstanding hereunder shall bear
        interest from the date of advance at a floating rate equal to the Prime
        Rate minus one quarter percent (0.250%) (the "Variable Rate"). "Prime
        Rate" means the floating commercial loan rate announced from time to
        time by Lender as its "prime rate", and is not necessarily the lowest
        rate offered by Lender. Changes in the Variable Rate will be effective
        on the date the Prime Rate changes.

               (b)    LIBO Fixed Rate. Borrower may elect to have one or more
        advances (each a "Fixed Rate Advance") bear interest for a term of 30,
        60, 90, 120, or 180 days


<PAGE>   2

        (the "Advance Period") at a fixed rate of interest equal to the
        then-current LIBO Quote for the requested Advance Period, plus one and
        20/100 percent (1.200%) (the "LIBO Fixed Rate"). "LIBO Quote" means a
        rate calculated by Lender acting in good faith, which Lender determines
        with reference to, but which may be different from, its LIBOR or
        Eurodollar based costs of funds, on the date of the advance request for
        the Advance Period selected by Borrower. The formula used by Lender in
        determining the LIBO Quote is within its absolute discretion and may be
        changed from time to time. Borrower may not select an Advance Period
        that extends beyond the Maturity Date of the Note. Upon expiration of
        the applicable Advance Period, Borrower may elect to roll the advance to
        a new LIBO Fixed Rate, to pay the advance off, or have the advance bear
        interest thereafter at the Variable Rate. If Borrower fails to elect any
        of these options, the advance will thereafter bear interest at the
        Variable Rate until Borrower selects a new LIBO Fixed Rate.

               (c)    Restrictions. Each Libor Rate Advance shall be in the
        minimum amount of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00).

        4.     PREPAYMENT. Borrower agrees that all loan fees and other prepaid
finance charges are earned fully as of the date of the loan and will not be
subject to refund upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of
default), except as otherwise required by law. This Note evidences a revolving
line, which may be borrowed, repaid, and re-borrowed from time until maturity or
earlier termination. Principal payments shall first be applied to reduce
principal bearing interest at the Variable Rate, then to Fixed Rate Advances. If
Borrower prepays a Fixed Rate Advance prior to the last day of the applicable
Advance Period, Borrower shall also pay a Prepayment Premium, calculated as set
forth below. Lender will be entitled to receive the Prepayment Premium
regardless of whether prepayment is voluntary or involuntary, (including a
demand on the Note at a time when Borrower is in default hereunder) but not in
the event of a demand by Lender prior to the stated Termination Date in the
absence of default under this Note. Borrower acknowledges that Lender may or may
not, in any particular case, match-fund a Fixed Rate Advance and Borrower agrees
that Lender will be entitled to receive the Prepayment Premium irrespective of
match-funding. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing,
relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments of
accrued unpaid interest. Rather, they will reduce the principal balance due.

        5.     LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 10 days or more late, Borrower will
be charged 5.000% of the regularly scheduled payment or $10.00, whichever is
greater.

        6.     DEFAULT. Borrower will be in default if any of the following
happens: (a) Borrower fails to make any payment when due. (b) Borrower breaks
any promise Borrower has made to Lender, or Borrower fails to comply with or to
perform when due any other term, obligation, covenant, or condition contained in
this Note or any agreement related to this Note, or in any other agreement or
loan Borrower has with Lender. (c) Any representation or statement made or
furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf is false or misleading
in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished. (d)
Borrower becomes insolvent, a receiver is appointed for any part of Borrower's
property, Borrower makes an assignment for the



                                       -2-
<PAGE>   3

benefit of creditors, or any proceeding is commenced either by Borrower or
against Borrower under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws. (e) Any creditor tries
to take any of Borrower's property on or in which Lender has a lien or security
interest. This includes a garnishment of any of Borrower's accounts with Lender.
(f) Any of the events described in this default section occurs with respect to
any guarantor of this Note. (g) A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's
financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance
of the Indebtedness is impaired. If any default, other than a default in
payment, is curable and if Borrower has not been given a notice of a breach of
the same provision of this Note within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may
be cured (and no event of default will have occurred) if Borrower, afar
receiving written notice from Lender demanding cure of such default: (a) cures
the default within fifteen (15) days; or (b) if the cure requires more than
fifteen (15) days, immediately initiates steps which Lender deems in Lender's
sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continues
and completes all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce
compliance as soon as reasonably practical.

        7.     LENDER'S RIGHTS. Upon default, Lender may declare the entire
unpaid principal balance on this Note and all accrued unpaid interest
immediately due, without notice, and then Borrower must pay that amount. Upon
default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, Lender, at its option,
may also increase the interest rate on this Note to a floating rate equal to the
Prime Rate plus 5.00% per annum. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help
collect this Note if Borrower does not pay. Borrower also will pay Lender that
amount. This includes, subject to any limits under applicable law, court costs,
Lender's attorneys' fees and Lender's legal expenses whether or not there is a
lawsuit, including attorneys' fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings
(including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction),
appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection services. This Note has
been delivered to and accepted by Lender in the State of Washington. If there is
a lawsuit, Borrower agrees upon Lender's request to submit to the jurisdiction
of the courts of King or Pierce County, State of Washington. This Note shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Washington.

        8.     DISHONORED ITEM FEE. Borrower will pay a fee to Lender of $10.00
if Borrower makes a payment on Borrower's loan and the check or preauthorized
charge with which Borrower pays is later dishonored.

        9.     LINE OF CREDIT. This Note evidences a revolving line of credit.
Advances under this Note may be requested orally by Borrower or as provided in
this paragraph. Lender may, but need not, require that all oral requests be
confirmed in writing. All communications, instructions, or directions by
telephone or otherwise to Lender are to be directed to Lender's office shown
above. The following party or parties are authorized as provided in this
paragraph to request advances under the line of credit until Lender receives
from Borrower at Lender's address shown above written notice of revocation of
their authority: Edgar Rampy and W. Robert Berg. Borrower agrees to be liable
for all sums either advanced in accordance with the instructions of an
authorized person or credited to any of Borrower's accounts with Lender. The
unpaid principal balance owing on this Note at any time may be evidenced by
endorsements on this Note or by Lender's internal record, including daily
computer print-outs. Lender will have no



                                      -3-
<PAGE>   4

obligation to advance funds under this Note if: (a) Borrower or any guarantor is
in default under the terms of this Note or any agreement that Borrower or any
guarantor has with Lender, including any agreement made in connection with the
signing of this Note; (b) Borrower or any guarantor ceases doing business or is
insolvent; (c) any guarantor seeks, claims or otherwise attempts to limit,
modify or revoke such guarantor's guarantee of this Note or any other loan with
Lender; or (d) Borrower has applied funds provided pursuant to this Note for
purposes other than those authorized by Lender.

        10.    PREPAYMENT PREMIUM. If for any reason Borrower shall prepay all
or a portion of the principal amount of any Fixed Rate Advance prior to the
expiration of the applicable Advance Period, Borrower shall also pay Lender a
Prepayment Premium. The Prepayment Premium will be equal to the present value,
at the time of prepayment (the "Prepayment Date"), of the excess of (i) the
interest that would have been payable on the amount prepaid at the interest rate
applicable to the Advance(s) from the Prepayment Date to the expiration date of
the Advance Period applicable to such Advance, over (ii) the interest that would
be chargeable on a note equal to the amount prepaid at a New Rate. The "New
Rate" shall be equal to the United States Treasury Security yield on a security
with a current remaining term to maturity the same as the Advance at the
Prepayment Date, plus the comparable interest rate spread as the Advance had to
the United States Treasury Security yield with the same maturity. The present
value shall be computed using 1/12th of the New Rate as the monthly discount
rate. If there is no U.S. Treasury Security with a comparable maturity, Lender
will determine the appropriate yield by interpolating between maturities.

        11.    SWAP PROVISIONS. If Borrower and Lender are entering or
subsequently enter into an interest rate swap agreement related to this Note (a
"Swap"), then the following provisions shall apply: This Note shall be deemed to
be modified so that interest will accrue during the period of time the Swap is
in effect at a Fixed Rate equal to the rate designated in the Confirmation
issued by Lender applicable to such Swap, and calculated in accordance with the
procedures and quotation sources used in connection with the Swap. Upon a
termination of the Swap that does not constitute a default under this Note, the
interest and payment provisions under this Note shall, at Lender's sole and
exclusive option, revert to what they would have been absent the Swap. If this
Note is prepaid, then Lender shall have the right in its sole and absolute
discretion to terminate the Swap upon or at any time after such prepayment. In
addition to any premium that may be due under this Note upon prepayment,
Borrower will pay any amounts that may be due to Lender upon Early Termination
(as defined in the 1991 ISDA Definitions published by the International Swap
Dealers Association, Inc.) of the Swap.

        12.    ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS. Any advance that Lender in its sole
discretion may permit after the final payment date provided in this Note will be
due on demand and otherwise subject to the terms of this Note. If there is a
statutory change in state or federal law (including without limitation, a change
related to required reserves under applicable bank regulatory law or a change in
any provision of the Internal Revenue Code), or any regulation or interpretation
issued thereunder, that lowers Lender's effective yield on this Note, Lender
shall notify Borrower in writing of the change, and Borrower shall pay as
additional interest on this 


                                      -4-
<PAGE>   5

Note, the amount necessary to compensate Lender for the amount by which
Lender's effective yield was reduced.

        13.    GENERAL PROVISIONS. Lender may delay or forgo enforcing any of
its rights and remedies under this Note without losing them. Borrower and any
other person who signs, guarantees or endorses this Note, to the extent allowed
by law, each waive presentment, demand for payment, protest and notice of
dishonor. Upon any change in the terms of this Note, and unless otherwise
expressly stated in writing, no party who signs this Note, whether as maker,
guarantor, accommodation maker or endorser, shall be released from liability.
All such parties agree that Lender may renew or extend (repeatedly and for any
length of time) this loan, or release any party or guarantor or collateral; or
impair, fail to realize upon or perfect Lender's security interest in the
collateral; and take any other action deemed necessary by Lender the consent of
or notice to anyone. All such parties also agree that Lender may modify this
loan without the consent of or notice to anyone other than the party with whom
the modification is made.

        14.    AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS. The maximum amount of principal under this
note is limited to $10,000,000.00 for the first year of this loan. Provided
there have been no defaults on the loan during that period of time, the maximum
amount will increase to $20,000,000.00 during years two and three of the loan.

        ORAL AGREEMENTS OR ORAL COMMITMENTS TO LOAN MONEY, EXTEND CREDIT OR TO
        FORBEAR FROM ENFORCING REPAYMENT OF A DEBT ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE UNDER
        WASHINGTON LAW.

                           Loan Number: 314107-2009002

                                  (Prime/LIBOR)

Date:              July 31, 1997

Principal Amount:  625,000.00

Interest Rate:     Variable Rate or LIBO Fixed Rate

Maturity Date:     December 5, 2000

Borrower:          SEAMED CORPORATION


        1.     PROMISE TO PAY. SEAMED CORPORATION ("Borrower") promises to pay
to KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, SEATTLE METROPOLITAN COMMERCIAL BANKING CENTER
Office, 700 FIFTH AVENUE, SEATTLE, WA ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money of
the United States of America, the principal mount set forth above, together with
interest on the unpaid outstanding principal balance from the date funds are
actually disbursed until paid in full.

        2.     PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in regular MONTHLY payments
of 18,055.01 principal and interest, beginning September 5, 1997, and continuing
on the same day of each MONTH after that. Interest on this Note is computed on a
365/360 simple interest basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the annual
interest rate over a year of 360 days, times the outstanding principal balance,
times the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. Borrower
will pay Lender at Lender's address shown above or at such other place as Lender
may designate in writing. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law,
payments will be applied first to accrued unpaid interest, then to principal,
and any remaining amount to any unpaid collection costs and late charges.

        3.     INTEREST RATE. This Note shall bear interest at the Variable
Rate, unless Borrower elects have interest accrue at a LIBO Fixed Rate, as
described below.

               (a)    Variable Rate. Unless Borrower elects to have this Note
        bear interest at a LIBO Fixed Rate, amounts outstanding hereunder shall
        bear interest at a floating rate equal to the Prime Rate plus zero
        percent (.00%) (the "Variable Rate"). "Prime Rate" means the floating
        commercial loan rate announced from time to time by Bank as its "prime
        rate", and is not necessarily the lowest rate offered by Lender. Changes
        in the Variable Rate will be effective on the date the Prime Rate
        changes.



<PAGE>   2

               (b)    LIBO Fixed Rate. Borrower may elect to have this Note bear
        interest for a period of 30 days, (the "Fixed Rate Period") at a fixed
        rate of interest equal to the then-current LIBO Quote for the requested
        Fixed Rate Period, plus one and forty hundredths percent (1.400%) (the
        "LIBO Fixed Rate"). "LIBO Quote" means a rate calculated by Lender
        acting in good faith, which Bank determines with reference to, but which
        may be different from, its LIBOR or Eurodollar based costs of funds, on
        the date of the request for a fixed rate quote, for the Fixed Rate
        Period selected by Borrower. The formula used by Bank in determining the
        LIBO Quote is within its absolute discretion and may be changed from
        time to time. Borrower may not select a Fixed Rate Period that extends
        beyond the Maturity Date of the Note. Upon expiration of the applicable
        Fixed Rate Period, Borrower may select a new LIBO Fixed Rate, or have
        the Note bear interest thereafter at the Variable Rate. If Borrower
        fails to elect any of these options, the Note will thereafter bear
        interest at the Variable Rate until Borrower selects a new LIBO Fixed
        Rate.

        4.     PREPAYMENT. Borrower agrees that all loan fees and other prepaid
finance charges are earned fully as of the date of the loan and will not be
subject to refund upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of
default), except as otherwise required by law. If Borrower prepays principal
under this Note, in whole or in part, at a time when the Note is accruing
interest at a LIBO Fixed Rate, then Borrower shall also pay a Prepayment
Premium, calculated as set forth below. Lender will be entitled to receive the
Prepayment Premium regardless of whether prepayment is voluntary or involuntary,
(including acceleration of the Note upon Borrower's default). Borrower
acknowledges that Lender may or may not, in any particular ease, match-fund a
LIBO Fixed Rate, and Borrower agrees that Lender will be entitled to receive the
Prepayment Premium irrespective of match-funding. Early payments will not,
unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation
to continue to make payments of accrued unpaid interest. Rather, they will
reduce the principal balance due.

        5.     LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 10 days or more late, Borrower will
be charged 5.000% of the regularly scheduled payment or $10.00, whichever is
greater.

        6.     DEFAULT. Borrower will be in default if any of the following
happens: (a) Borrower fails to make any payment when due. (b) Borrower breaks
any promise Borrower has made to Lender, or Borrower fails to comply with or to
perform when due any other term, obligation, covenant, or condition contained in
this Note or any agreement related to this Note, or in any other agreement or
loan Borrower has with Lender. (e) Any representation or statement made or
furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf is false or misleading
in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished. (d)
Borrower becomes insolvent, a receiver is appointed for any part of Borrower's
property, Borrower makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any
proceeding is commenced either by Borrower or against Borrower under any
bankruptcy or insolvency laws. (e) Any creditor tries to take any of Borrower's
property on or in which Lender has a lien or security interest. This includes a
garnishment of any of Borrower's accounts with Lender. (f) Any of the events
described in this default section occurs with respect to any guarantor of this
Note. (g) A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's financial condition, or
Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of the



                                      -2-
<PAGE>   3

Indebtedness is impaired. If any default, other than a default in payment, is
curable and if Borrower has not been given a notice of a breach of the same
provision of this Note within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be cured
(and no event of default will have occurred) if Borrower, after receiving
written notice from Lender demanding cure of such default: (a) cures the default
within fifteen (15) days; or (b) if the cure requires more than fifteen (15)
days, immediately initiates steps which Lender deems in Lender's sole discretion
to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continues and completes all
reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as
reasonably practical.

        7.     LENDER'S RIGHTS. Upon default, Lender may declare the entire
unpaid principal balance on this Note and all accrued unpaid interest
immediately due, without notice, and then Borrower must pay that amount. Upon
default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, Lender, at its option,
may also increase the interest rate on this Note to a floating rate equal to the
Prime Rate plus 5.00% per annum. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help
collect this Note if Borrower does not pay. Borrower also will pay Lender that
amount. This includes, subject to any limits under applicable law, court costs,
Lender's attorneys' fees and Lender's legal expenses whether or not there is a
lawsuit, including attorneys' fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings
(including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction),
appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection services. This Note has
been delivered to and accepted by Lender in the State of Washington. If there is
a lawsuit, Borrower agrees upon Lender's request to submit to the jurisdiction
of the courts of King or Pierce County, State of Washington. This Note shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Washington.

        8.     DISHONORED ITEM FEE. Borrower will pay a fee to Lender of $10.00
if Borrower makes a payment on Borrower's loan and the cheek or preauthorized
charge with which Borrower pays is later dishonored.

        9.     PREPAYMENT PREMIUM. If for any reason Borrower shall prepay all
or a portion of this Note prior to the Maturity Date, at a time when interest is
accruing at a LIBO Fixed Rate, then Borrower shall also pay Lender a Prepayment
Premium. The Prepayment Premium will be equal to the present value, at the time
of prepayment (the "Prepayment Date"), of the excess of (i) the interest that
would have been payable on the amount prepaid at the interest rate applicable to
the Note from the Prepayment Date to the last day of the applicable Fixed Rate
Period, over (ii) the interest that would be chargeable on a note equal to the
amount prepaid at a New Rate. The "New Rate" shall be equal to the United States
Treasury Security yield on a security with a current remaining term to maturity
the same as the remaining Fixed Rate Period at the Prepayment Date, plus the
comparable interest rate spread as the Note had to the United States Treasury
Security yield with the same maturity. The present value shall be computed using
1/12th of the New Rate as the monthly discount rate. If there is no U.S.
Treasury Security with a comparable maturity, Lender will determine the
appropriate yield by interpolating between maturities.

        10.    SWAP PROVISIONS. If Borrower and Lender are entering or
subsequently enter into an interest rate swap agreement related to this Note (a
"Swap"), then the following provisions



                                      -3-
<PAGE>   4

shall apply: This Note shall be deemed to be modified so that (i) interest will
accrue during the period of time the Swap is in effect at a Fixed Rate equal to
the rate designated in the Confirmation issued by Lender applicable to such
Swap, and calculated in accordance with the procedures and quotation sources
used in connection with the Swap, and (ii) Borrower shall make principal
payments under this Note as set forth in an amortization schedule generated by
Lender in connection with the Swap. Upon a termination of the Swap that does not
constitute a default under this Note, the interest and payment provisions under
this Note, at Lender's sole and exclusive option, shall revert to what they
would have been absent the Swap. If this Note is prepaid, then Lender shall have
the right in its sole and absolute discretion to terminate the Swap upon or at
any time after such prepayment. In addition to any premium that may be due under
this Note upon prepayment, Borrower will pay any amounts that may be due to
Lender upon Early Termination (as defined in the 1991 ISDA Definitions published
by the International Swap Dealers Association, Inc.) of the Swap.

        11.    ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS. If there is a statutory change in state or
federal law (including without limitation, a change related to required reserves
under applicable bank regulatory law or a change in any provision of the
Internal Revenue Code), or any regulation or interpretation issued thereunder,
that lowers Lender's effective yield on this Note, Lender shall notify Borrower
in writing of the change, and Borrower shall pay as additional interest on this
Note, the amount necessary to compensate Lender for the amount by which Lender's
effective yield was reduce.

        12.    GENERAL PROVISIONS. Lender may delay or forgo enforcing any of
its rights and remedies under this Note without losing them. Borrower and any
other person who signs, guarantees or endorses this Note, to the extent allowed
by law, each waive presentment, demand for payment, protest and notice of
dishonor. Upon any change in the terms of this Note, and unless otherwise
expressly stated in writing, no party who signs this Note, whether as maker,
guarantor, accommodation maker or endorser, shall be released from liability.
All such parties agree that Lender may renew or extend (repeatedly and for any
length of time) this loan, or release any party or guarantor or collateral; or
impair, fail to realize upon or perfect Lender's security interest in the
collateral; and take any other action deemed necessary by Lender without the
consent of or notice to anyone. All such parties also agree that Lender may
modify this loan without the consent of or notice to anyone other than the party
with whom the modification is made.
