1.  Significant Accounting Policies

    Basis of Presentation

    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include The
Med-Design Corporation (hereinafter, including its subsidiaries as the context
requires, the "Company" or "Med-Design") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, MDC
Investment Holdings, Inc. ("MDC Holdings") and MDC Research Ltd. All significant
intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with
that used as of and for the year ended December 31, 1999 and, in the opinion of
management, reflect all adjustments (principally consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
Company as of September 30, 2000 and the results of the Company's operations and
cash flows for the three month and nine month period ended September 30, 2000.
The results of operations for the three month and nine month period ended
September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended December 31, 2000. The financial statements included
herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-QSB
and Rule 310 (b) of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. The consolidated balance sheet at December
31, 1999 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. These
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1999,
which were included as part of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.

2.  Agreements with Becton Dickinson

    On December 13, 1999, Med-Design signed an option agreement with Becton
Dickinson ("BD") related to certain of the Company's patented products (the
"Optioned Products"). Under the terms of the agreement Med-Design agreed to
extend the initial option agreement covering five products until January 25,
2000. The option gives BD the exclusive right to license, manufacture and sell
these five products. In connection with this agreement, Med-Design received a
payment of $1.5 million. On March 12, 2000, Med-Design signed a Binding Term
Letter (the "Letter") with BD that detailed the principal terms under which the
Optioned Products would be licensed to BD. The Letter also provided that the
parties would negotiate and prepare a license agreement consistent with the
terms set forth in the Letter.

    The Letter was approved by the Board of Directors of Med-Design on March 24,
2000. Upon execution of the Letter, the $1.5 million option payment became
non-refundable and under the terms of the binding agreement, Med-Design has no
further obligations regarding this payment. Accordingly, the Company recognized
$1.5 million in revenue for the period ended March 31, 2000.

    On May 11, 2000, Med-Design and BD entered into a license agreement under
which Med-Design licensed certain of the Optioned Products to BD. Under the
agreement, Med-Design received an additional up-front nonrefundable payment of
$2.5 million and the right to future royalty payments based on sales of the
licensed products by BD. Med-Design recognized the $2.5 million as revenue in
the second quarter of fiscal year 2000.

computing diluted earnings per share as the effect was antidilutive.

4.  Patents

    On February 18, 2000 Med-Design purchased from Dr. Edward Allard a safety
syringe patent initially issued to Dr. Allard in June 1989. In connection with
the purchase, Med-Design issued to Dr. Allard and Daniel Longmire, the
co-inventor, 14,416 shares of Company common stock and cash of $220,000. The
purchase price of the patent, $456,062, was capitalized on the balance sheet and
will be amortized on a straight-line basis over 6 years.

5.  Debt Issue Costs

    The Company completed a private placement of $1,550,000 principal amount of
4% convertible debentures due July 2003 and received proceeds of $1,474,000. The
debentures are collateralized by the Company's intellectual property and are
convertible into 1,240,000 shares of common stock, or a conversion price of
$1.25 per share. The Company recorded $565,200 in debt issue costs with respect
to this transaction. During the first quarter of 2000, the holders of $1,225,000
principal amount of the debentures converted them into 980,000 shares of common
stock. The remaining $325,000 principal amount of debentures was converted into
260,000 shares in the second quarter of 2000. As a result of the conversion, the
Company recognized $336,609 and $77,031 of debt issue costs as an extraordinary
loss in the first and second quarters of 2000, respectively. Prior to the
conversion, these costs were being amortized over the term of the debentures.
Debt issue costs are presented as an extraordinary item on the Company's
Consolidated Statement of Operations.

6.  Debt

    The Company obtained a loan from a director of the Company, in the amount of
$250,000 on May 29, 1998. The entire principal and accrued interest of $5,142 on
the loan was paid on February 29, 2000.

7.  Preferred Stock

    Med-Design signed a license, option and equity agreement with BD on December
11, 1998. Under the terms of this agreement, BD invested $1.5 million in
Med-Design through the purchase of 300,000 shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible into
Med-Design common stock at the rate of one share of common stock for each share
of preferred stock converted. BD converted the preferred stock into 300,000
shares of common stock on March 28, 2000.

    Dividends on the preferred stock were payable semi-annually at a rate of 8%
per annum in cash or in additional shares of preferred stock (at the option of
Med-Design). A dividend of $150,000, related to Series A preferred stock

Results of Operations

Results of Operations for the Three Month Periods Ended September 30, 2000
and 1999

         Loss from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was
$1,713,608 an increase of $804,478 compared to a loss from operations of
$909,130 for the corresponding period in 1999. The increase in loss from
operations was due primarily to the recording of a $534,581 charge in connection
with the issuance of stock, stock options and warrants. The charge has been
recorded as stock based compensation and did not have an impact on the Company's
cash position.

         General and administrative expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 were $880,675, an increase of $268,442 as compared to
$612,253 for the corresponding period 1999. The increase is attributable to an
increase in legal and travel expenses as a result of increased business activity
of the Company to market its pipeline products.

         Research and development expenses for the three months ended September
30, 2000 were $298,352, an increase of $1,475 as compared to $296,877 for the
corresponding period in 1999. Research and development expenses were essentially
flat but do represent some level of increase due to business activity to advance
the design concept of its pipeline products.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999

    Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were $4,000,000;
the Company had no revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The
revenue reflects licensing payments made by BD under the BD Agreement. Of this
amount $1.5 million was paid in December 1999, but was recognized as revenue
when the payment became non-refundable in connection with the execution of a
term letter with BD. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

    Loss from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was
$1,701,288 as compared to a loss from operations of $2,707,143 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999. The decrease in loss from operations was due
principally to the $4,000,000 in licensing revenues described above partially
offset by increased general and administrative expenses.

    General, administrative, research and development, and stock based
compensation expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were
$5,701,288 as compared to $2,707,143 for the nine months ended September 30,
1999. The increase in expense is due primarily to recording a charge of
$2,170,171 for stock based compensation for the issuance of stock, stock options
and warrants as compensation.

Plan of Operation

    Med-Design plans to focus on the following two areas of activity during the
next twelve months: the further development and licensing of additional products
and the development of incremental revenues related to design and development
and manufacturing agreements with licensing partners.

    Med-Design plans to advance concept development and modeling of certain
other products that are not currently under licensing agreements. Med-Design
also plans to continue to seek to license these products to third parties or
enter into joint ventures related to these products. Med-Design will support
these efforts through measures such as the building of necessary prototypes with
currently available funds.

    Med-Design is investigating opportunities with third parties to manufacture,
market and distribute Med-Design's products. Med-Design anticipates that
entering into alliances and licensing arrangements with third parties will
enable the Company to more quickly increase market penetration of its products.

    The Company is also exploring the feasibility of manufacturing or having
manufactured certain of its products. In 1995, Med-Design completed the
construction of a research and development laboratory at its facility in
Ventura, California that is equipped with assembly and test equipment for
product development and feasibility testing. In addition, the Company completed
a machine shop equipped with machine tools for fabrication of new product parts
for concept modeling, assembly and test fixtures and a mold shop capable of
producing small cavitation molds. Med-Design also installed a Class 100,000
clean room at the Ventura facility which is currently used for the hand assembly
of prototypes of Med-Design's products and could be used in connection with the
pilot manufacturing of various Med-Design products on a semi-automated assembly
system or a fully automated robotic assembly system if Med-Design installs such
a system.

    If the Company decides to manufacture its products using the present
facility, adequate funds would be required to acquire needed equipment and other
resources. Med-Design would anticipate obtaining the required funds through an
equity offering.

    Med-Design is currently in negotiations with third parties to provide
additional design, development and manufacturing in furtherance of the
commercialization of Med-Design's products.

    As of September 30, 2000, Med-Design employed 18 people on a full-time basis
and one person on a part-time basis. Med-Design anticipates that it will hire
additional personnel if it is able to license its early stage development
products, enter into joint ventures related to such products, or decides to
manufacture its products in accordance with its plan of operation.

    For a discussion regarding Med-Design's ability to satisfy its cash
requirements for the next twelve months, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources"
below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    At September 30, 2000, cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale
securities totaled $4,902,283, as compared to $4,862,382 at December 31, 1999,
an increase of $39,901 or approximately 1%. This increase was partially due to
the $2,500,000 of licensing revenues described above, offset principally by the
repayment of short-term debt of $250,000, the purchase of the Allard patent of
$220,000 and the payment of preferred stock dividends of $150,000.

    At September 30, 2000, Med-Design had a revolving line of credit totaling
$3,000,000 with a bank. This facility can be used to fund working capital needs
and finance capital equipment purchases. However, advances for capital equipment
financing may not exceed $600,000. There were no amounts outstanding under the
agreement at September 30, 2000. Any borrowings to meet working capital needs
will bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.25 basis points, while borrowings to finance
capital equipment purchases bear interest at prime plus 2.5%. Under the terms of
the facility, all borrowings must be fully collateralized by available-for-sale
securities, cash, cash equivalents, equipment financed, and general intangibles
which are substantially all of the assets of the Company. The facility expires
on May 30, 2002, and there is no assurance that Med-Design will be successful in
negotiating a continuation of the availability of the line of credit or the
terms which will be made available to Med-Design.

    During the period October 1, 2000 to the date of the filing of this report
The Med-Design Corporation received approximately $1.7 million from the exercise
of stock options and warrants. The exercise of these stock options and warrants
significantly increased Med-Design's cash position.

    Management believes that Med-Design has sufficient funds to support its
planned operations and capital expenditure for at least the next twelve months.
The availability of longer-term capital resources will be dependent on
Med-Design's ability to enter into licensing and royalty agreements and to
receive royalty payments from its current and future strategic partners. If
Med-Design is unsuccessful in negotiating additional agreements, or if licensing
revenues are insufficient to support operations, Med-Design may be required to
reduce substantially or eliminate certain of its product development activities,
limit its operations significantly, or otherwise modify its business strategy.

    Med-Design's capital requirements will depend on many factors, including but
not limited to, the progress of its research and development programs, the
development of regulatory submissions and approvals, pilot manufacturing
capability, and the costs associated with protecting its patents and other
proprietary rights.

There are no other material commitments at this time.
